I study human body language and I swear I am damn near perfect when it comes to lie detecting (This is not a joke or an exaggeration) and when Ross was asked if he was on the same page as the coaches (right around the 1:35 mark), he looks down, closes his eyes (takes his eyes off Dan Hoard) and stammers his words a bit. There are at least four "tells" that he doesn't believe what he is saying.
The Bengals are now gag-ruling the kid like Carl Pickens of years ago. I simply don't understand why. I won't hear any crap about not knowing the play book, either. This kid dropped offense (after a stellar start) and played CB for his college team and then went back to WR later and was stellar again. He is a smart kid and is a wasted talent.
The Chiefs are no better than the Bengals is Tyreek Hill in on their bench.
On offense I'm not sure that anyone has been on the same page as the coaches this year.
I think Ross may not have helped himself by getting too out of shape post the draft.
I completely understand he had to miss time at the bengals with NCAA and was injured but the way he talks of running a play or two then being unable to go for another 2 series after that is ridiculous at this point of the season.
Whatever the background right now we need to get him on the field even for limited snaps...
In 2015 are primary receiving options were Green, Eifert, MJones, Sanu and Bernard
In 2017 are primary receiving options are Green, Kroft, Malone, LaFell, Core and Mixon
If Ross cannot contribute better than some of our 2017 receiving options as a #9 pick then we sure as hell need to know sooner rather than later.
Its not draft time or pre-season anymore...'potential' can't help us right now, we have to see something/anything so we know he's the guy.
Hope he plays on Sunday, hope he makes some big plays - we need him.
