I am not saying he is anywhere near Pro Bowl level, nor is he proving himself worthy of the #9 overall pick, but I saw enough to think that with the right mind as OC, he might just surprise this year.  

For the life of me, I can't fathom why the never ran screens or slants with him when his coverage was so far off...Seemed like easy pickings to me, especially for Dalton with his quick release.  

When people say that Ross's 2nd year was essentially his rookie year...it loses me. He was on the team and practiced and was in the meeting rooms. IF anything he should have came away from that year really understanding the mental side of the game.

I do agree that screens and slants seem to be more of what he needed to see.
