Pitman is a beast, but he doesn't have that break away speed. We still need a receiver to take the top off the defense. I think Richardson is a sponge in the tape rooms and will be much ahead of schedule next year. If he is not protected and nobody to throw deep to, it is all for naught.
On a side note. Looks like you were right about CJ. I don't think he is elite, but is he is much above average and will win a lot of games and a major pain in the ass for us for the next decade barring any career ending injuries.

I think the pass rush is a victim of Bradley only sending the front four on 955 of the plays. Atlanta made it their goal to send enough pressure to stop Taylor, and pressure Minshew, and it worked. For some reason, we never try that. Well, we did try it one game, and it went very well. I can't remember the opponent, but it worked. Then, we stopped doing it, for some reason.
