I agree with the so-called "package of plays" beyond just simply having him run vertical routes.  One thing I like that ZT has said is he wants his team to be the fastest team on the field on Sundays and the freshest team on the field on Sundays.  That will involve Ross and keeping a thoroughbred fresh is a good idea.  Even Paul Brown was rumored to have told Issac Curtis is just sit out and stretch if something was nagging him at all.  He realized that without his speed, he wouldn't be near the weapon.  He wasn't wasting him on blocking drills and the like, just to be a "football player".
