I hope (and I am fairly certain) that a play like that gets lots of attention in the film room.  

To be fair, John Ross actually was asked to set the edge (!) on a couple rushes and blocked decently.  I think he is trying hard to get more targets, but putting your hands where you want the ball after a catchable ball bounced off your hands is sure as hell not the way to get them.  C'mon, John, I know that two TD, breakout game is coming.  Don't act like a douche. 

It absolutely should have been caught, but to communicate with the QB the best location for YOU to catch it is not being a douche.  It's working between the two of them to make sure there is execution of the play.
