3. Kyle Pitts flashed in the first half against Washington

Kyle Pitts has been disappointing so far in Atlanta, Sunday was an uneven performance carried by a strong first half. Pitts made two impressive catches in tight windows finishing the day with 50-receiving yards.

Atlanta is still not getting the star production they are hoping for from the first-round tight-end. Production that will come with time and patience. Sunday was a positive sign for the rookie in a big first half.

Pitts helped the Atlanta offense get off to a fast start and was one of the few reliable targets for Matt Ryan in the first half. It isn’t a coincidence Atlanta faded as Pitts did in the second half he is a game-changer and a player Atlanta must involve more.

To win the game Atlanta must put the ball in the hands of their best player and that is either Kyle Pitts or Calvin Ridley. If you believe in Pitts as much as you say you do show us continue to call his number and involve him offensively as you did in the first half. Ryan is desperately searching for reliable targets and the player that needs to step up is Kyle Pitts.
