Sure, there are times where Ross could and should have caught the ball, but not every target in the 29 he's had have been catchable balls. And also, Boyd is always going to have a (much) higher catch rate than Ross as long as they keep throwing short passes to Boyd and deep passes to Ross. It's known that the deeper routes you run, the less likely the ball will be caught.
The Bengals need to start using Ross in that short-to-mid range on the field to cater to his YAC ability. They keep trying to send him deep too often and it's not working out (yet).
Exactly. I dont understand the playcalling that Lazor does. Every route goes to the outside and Dalton makes his worst throws to the sideline. Seriously, watch him throw to Erickson sometime. He runs 6 yards out of bounds on every route. What happened to the middle of the field? Did they retire it out of respect for Eifert?
