All the talk about what Ross needs to be, it seems that we found the running mate for AJ we have missed for all these years. I think the biggest thing about him though is his reliability on big 3rd, and yesterday 4th, downs. It seems when a big play is needed Andy can go to AJ or Boyd with complete confidence.
I don't know if anybody else is seeing this. Remember when we had Chad-Ocho. Remember those slant routes TJ Houshmandzadeh ran so well. Yesterday with one last drive and needing touchdown. Dalton first down to Boyd. Dalton first down to Boyd. Dalton first down to Boyd. Dalton touchdown to Green. Boyd is running those TJ routes and getting first downs as TJ got us first downs. A Fred Biletnikoff, Paul Warfield GO TO GUY type when sure hands, sure routes, and first downs needed. With Green double covered, throwing to Boyd is like stealing yards. However Boyd is getting separation in ways other Bengals stiffs such as Baby Hawk at WR couldn't to help Dalton and Green. Now Jones and Sanu were good, but they are gone. Boyd and Ross are now replacing them to the beat of 3-1 start. I thought Ross had much better game against Atlanta than Carolina. GO BENGALS.
