Where is Ross?

I encourage anyone doubting Ross go look back at his catch vs 
Humphries in the Ravens game for the TD.
Ross was handcuffed by Lazors lack of imagination last.
a pulled groin....and a backup with no ability to anticipate 
or the put the ball in spots where WRs can do damage.

If Ross catches it in the endzone the play is over.  If Dalton throws to Ross in open space there is more room for something crazy to happen before or after he gets the ball.  If Ross' endzone talent were an indicator of his level of trust with Dalton then he would be a go-to 3rd down target because he is inordinately good at getting open on and snagging the ball on those short routes.

It looks to me like getting Ross involved in the play in open space is a risky prospect based upon his first 2 years.  That's just my take.  If the guy is money in the red zone because he is uncoverable on short routes, then we should use him on every 3rd down and he should be catching more than 0-3 balls per game.  Maybe that's what happens in 2019.
