Now granted, I think the reason Erickson got so few passes his way last year is because Andy never had time to get through his progressions long enough to get to him, but when he did, Erickson was always solid with the receptions.
I agree that Erickson could be a valuable weapon if the blocking schematic improves. Having Ross step up and take the proverbial top off the defense would help open the underneath for the slot WRs and TEs as well. The Bengals haven't had that kind of synergy since Henry and Chad were outside and TJ got a ton of targets underneath. They didn't even have a good TE then but that offense was tough to stop.
I just hope and pray Ross gets the nod over Lafell and Lafell is a back up or released.
