[Whatever]

Occasionally the blocking may hold up to allow a deep throw to Green or Ross, but the nice thing about both Green and Ross is they are also effective short and intermediate range too.

One of the advantages of a guy with Ross's speed is he gets down field in a hurry, so Dalton doesn't have to hold on to the ball as long.  With Ross, AJ, and LaFell/Boyd on the field at the same time, it will be a lot harder for teams to blitz.  If you leave a RB or TE in to block, that's a 4 man rush vs 6 blockers, and you would hope you can win with numbers.

Also, if Mixon is as advertised, you can establish the run and then use play action to set up the deep ball.
