Pittman didn't have a diverse route tree, wasn't asked to win vs man coverage, and wasn't the guy you needed to scheme open on 'got-to-have-it' downs. He was asked to make contested catches in the short to intermediate part of the field and block his butt off in the run game.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Pittman's limited route tree and man-coverage struggles can be replaced.

The source analyzes Pittman's role in the Colts offense: he did not have a diverse route tree, was not asked to win versus man coverage, and was not schemed open on critical downs; instead, he was tasked with making contested catches in short to intermediate areas and blocking in the run game. The source respects his competitiveness but believes film evidence shows his limitations, suggesting unsexy replacement options can replicate his role.
