Ross is so much more than just a deep threat. I thought everyone figured that out by now after all the draft-time debating, but I guess not...
Just to clear it up, I wasn't saying Ross is only a deep threat. I've been telling anyone who will listen that Ross is a complete WR. So I know we're not going to line him up to run nines all day.
Still, if you guys think Ross was only drafted to gain YAC on slants and screens, I'd say you'll be surprised. They will send him deep sometimes. I don't care how bad Og is. There's too much value in taking the top off the defense (ask Randy "one clap" Moss), and teams won't respect that ability if we never play that hand.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
