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.
9s and posts won't be a problem even with a stutter step. Those can actually be quick throws because it's arching the ball and dropping it into a place on the field. It's plays like a 15 yard crosser where thr QB has to wait for the WR to run thr route then put it on a rope. ( Those throws were never great for Dalton anyway...)
