Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts could be in for a big day against a Seattle Seahawks defense that has struggled against tight ends.
At 3-3, the 'Hawks sit atop the NFC West, tied with the San Francisco 49ers but are headed in a vastly different direction. After their 3-0 start, the Seahawks have dropped three straight.. As a result, the Falcons can feast on Seattle's weaknesses, provided that they can enter the game with another solid game plan and execute to the best of their ability.
In this defense, it looks almost like a 5-2. With the strongside 'backer hovering near the line of scrimmage, the intent remains clear. The Seahawks want to dominate the line of scrimmage. Not just sniffing out the run, but pressuring the quarterback into mistakes, possible sacks or turnovers. First, Hall does not flourish in stopping the run. He struggles with shedding and despite excellent burst, doesn't close on the ball carrier. At 255 pounds, he's a little light on the defensive line. Most importantly, Hall continues to battle a foot injury that could limit him.will pay dividends later. Forcing them to contact blockers in the run game will eventually drain them of their energy.
