Pitts' target share rising but needs earlier-game volume to solve Falcons' blitz-heavy defense issues.

The source argues Pitts' target share has increased over the last three games, but those targets have to come earlier in games. Pitts catching only his second pass late in what was arguably the Falcons' most disappointing performance of the season (with a starting-caliber quarterback under center) indicates he needs to be prioritized far more early and often. Making Pitts a bigger focal point in the passing game is a vital step to punish defenses for constantly blitzing, as the Bears blitzed Penix Jr. on an alarming 48.7 percent of his dropbacks.
