Out of all the doubtfuls on the list though, I'd like to think he'd be the one most likely to play. He did say after last week's game he should be good to go out there Sunday, so we'll see.

For real.  I gotta be fair, he played much better at ATL, only to go down with another injury.  From what I've read, it looks like he'll at least give it a go Sunday.  Anyone who isn't pulling for the kid is just hating, or just horsing around sarcastically because hey.....Bengals....lol.  If he can ever get it together, having him, Boyd and Green would be comparable to Ocho, Housh, and Slim.

I was encouraged by last week with Ross at the very least and now this.

Happy Mixon is alright. That had me worried on the last report. He was playing great against the Saints then we
took him out and we fell apart. I know Gio had the one big play but there is something else about Mixon when he
is out there that fires up the entire Offense.

I hear ya on the Mixon/Saints deal....but down 4 scores really limits a RB's usefulness.  I would love to see them scheme Ross open more.  As you note, chemistry....or timing....seems to be an issue with him and Andy.  Go routes can't be the only thing you send him out on.  Slants, posts, up the seams, those are the routes I'd send him on more.  Wasn't that a post he scored on against ATL?  I can't remember, but I know he wasn't on the sideline when caught the ball.  When the timing gets better, you may be able to send him on the go route more.  The frustrating thing here is that he's missing so much practice, it's hard to get that timing down.  Dalton has to learn to throw earlier and let Ross run to the ball.
