Aaron discusses Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts’ knee injury and whether or not it means his 2022 season is over. He breaks down what it means with both Pitts and Ta’Quon Graham heading to injured reserve and if it’s possible he can return before the end of the regular season or potentially the postseason. He then breaks down how the Falcons will seek to fill his shoes at tight end and whether or not we’ll see a committee of Anthony Firkser, Feleipe Franks, Parker Hesse, and MyCole Pruitt try to fill the void. Then, he breaks down if that means the team will lean more on their run game and if that’s a good strategy against a tough Washington Commanders run defense this week. Finally, he looks at the team’s success containing Justin Fields and their unexpected strategy of dialing back their blitzes, and if a similar strategy might work again in Week 12 against the Commanders.
