For you experts on this board- and I am not one of them- why aren't the Bengals sending Ross on deep routes like Callaway.

I always here about "cover 2" but it seemed to me that the Jets were using two safeties deep last night and it did not matter because of the number of WRs Browns were throwing out there on the same play.

Would appreciate enlightenment from the football coaches/players on this board.

They do send him on deep routes, but he's more of a decoy right now.

I know Ross is in his second season, but don't forget - he's basically played 2 games in his career. I really don't think he's been that bad, and it's undeniable that he has opened things up for this offense. 

I'm still taking Ross over Callaway 100% right now. I haven't seen Callaway do anything that Ross can't.

Edit: I also want to say that I think Callaway's speed is surprising defenses right now. But John's ENTIRE storyline was his 40. So of course, every time he's on the field, the defense is terrified of getting burned. Callaway's storyline was more about him being a good receiver with loads of potential, but very poor judgment off the field.
