We can't run and they know it, Andy has no time to throw and they know it !
We badly need a vertical threat. Just as bad as we meed O-linemen ! Without a run game and no vertical threats besides AJ the ORO/WCO has no chance.
This is the main reason I question why Ross hasn't been on the field more. Even if the kid needs more time to learn the playbook, etc., he could at least be used to take the top off the defense. Throw it to him a couple times a game on a go route or a skinny post. His mere presence on the field with a couple attempts per game would keep the DBs more honest - thereby opening things up a little more underneath.
