Where is Ross?

Having him run vertical is fine, but he has to get targeted more on those plays before defenses really start to worry about it.  Hopefully, improved Oline play will contribute to more time for vertical shots.  

I did not watch him every play so may be wrong, but I think he should be in motion more so other teams can't check him easily within 5 yards. He is not big so I can see his routes being disrupted and messing up the timing. Since AD is a timing QB, that could mess up their connection ability.

But, the reality is as of now, he is still AD's 3rd to 5th options in most games or plays. Will Zac and OC try and feature him against some teams due to match ups? I think that is on Ross to prove he deserves it, that starts in practice.
