I am going to go nuts the first play action where Ross is FINALLY not underthrown on a deep ball and it just floats in to him in stride for an 80 yard TD.
Then, teams will be so leary of that, they will keep safeties back which not only opens the middle, but the rushing attack.
It is all about synergy. How the pieces work together, on both sides of the ball.
It's going to be interesting how the season opens. With AJ and Boyd being the most prolific receivers on the team, they will draw the best coverage the opponent has.
As bad as Dalton looked last season (with a coach who is suspect), AJ Green didn't have trouble putting up stellar numbers with Dalton as his QB for basically his entire career. So I'll never really buy that Dalton was the reason Ross under performed. I'd say the same thing about Marvin, who had many players developed into excellent WRs while he was HC.
