Former Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta called Head Coach John Harbaugh, Offensive Coordinator Marty Mornhinweg and quarterback Joe Flacco this week to clarify comments he made about the team’s offense during an interview with WBAL Radio last week.
“I think my comments were certainly taken out of context if you really see the point that I was trying to make,” Pitta said in a phone interview Wednesday.
Pitta said the media focused on a single quote about Flacco having one read, and then checking it down if the receiver isn’t open.
However, what Pitta meant to say was that Flacco, just like any other quarterback, has to pick a side of the field to attack, and has limited reads within that side of the field.
