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 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.
Great post Wyche, i think that was a Seam route on the Atlanta Ross TD but i am not sure. With Ross always being
injured and not getting enough time with Dalton added to the lack of using him correctly it is just not a good recipe
right now. Have to get this figured out and the only way it CAN happen is for Ross to stay healthy.
Ross can run almost all the routes, it is not like he was Core coming out of college, he had a wide route tree.
True on Mixon but he is a Receiver too just like Gio except he can run players over and break tackles better. That is
what is great about Mixon's game, he is so versatile with size, speed and power. Love Gio but Mixon has more raw
skills and plays with much more passion and i think it resonates with the team more.
