Why do you think the only way they could get the ball to ross was on a reverse?

Marvin plays just as many rookies and young players as the average NFL coach.  I have posted the numbers to prove this multiple times.  Just a little over half of the first round picks (18) from the 2017 draft were starters as rookies.  It is pretty much true for EVERY team that unless there is a hole to fill it is hard for a rookie to win a starting job.

It's not often that I find myself in complete agreement with fredtoast' opinions, but this is one of those times.

Much of Ross' lack of playing time was brought on by not having himself prepared for his job.  As a professional athlete, it is his duty to know the playbook, and to keep his body in optimal condition.

People can try to blame Marvin all they want to, but the fact is Ross wasn't prepared to do his job.  I'm sure that bristled Marvin in the worst way, just like any other boss would be, if their new "star" employee came to work unprepared.
