Why do you think the only way they could get the ball to ross was on a reverse?
Even if you believe Ross was utterly clueless, Marvin found a way to get the ball in Ross' hands at the very beginning of the season, and never did so again after he fumbled.
No more reverses? It doesn't take a genius to catch a swing pass or one of those quick throws to Sanu or LaFell that we've seen 1009 times. Shoot, for that one Ross wouldn't even have to run a route period.
Either Ross was too injured or he was in the doghouse. Probably a combo. I don't buy the playbook stuff. You can do easy stuff to get pretty much anyone involved. As we saw in game 1.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
