Had a reverse for like 20 yards before fumbling.  He showed major flashes on that play making a couple guys miss for a big gain.  Sure he was super nervous.  Marvin Lewis instead of getting him back in there to get his confidence back up, benched Ross for what seemed like the rest of the season.  Think Marvin hated him from the beginning.

First that was his first semi positive olay, he had already dropped ball, ran a bad route etc.. benching was warranted.. he is fragile mentally...in NFL that normally means going nowhere which up to this point he has.  I actually could see him cut before the season starts.. WR crew is most competitive in a while but he might be saved with expanded rosters
