"His production in the red zone was really interesting because, to me, you don’t look at him and think red zone target," Callahan said. "His speed kind of dictates you think he would be something other than that. But he was that for them. If we get seven touchdowns out of him again I think we’d all be really happy because that is really good production in this league. As far as where he fits outside the red zone there is a lot of places we kind final the ball for him."
"He’s got the ability to play outside, ability to play inside," Callahan said. "He’s talented. My job and our job on offense is to get the most out of him. It takes time to succeed in this league. It really does. It take years of preparation and playing to get over the hump. Sometimes there’s guys that have an impact immediately. Sometimes there’s players it takes one, two, three years to make that jump to be a professional. I’m excited about that. It’s a great challenge for us. It’s a great challenge for John to try to make that jump and have him be a productive part of our system."
Great stuff Holic, i think Taylor and Callahan will know how to use Ross better than Lazor did. As McC said, why not use Ross like he was used in college when he was such a weapon? I understand why Callahan finds it interesting that Ross doesn't look like a red zone target but he always has been. Dude averaged 1 Touchdown every 5 catches at Washington.
