I have never seen a guy his size who was successful in the red zone where the filed is shrunken yet be useless between the 20's where the defense has to cover deep and is more spread out. It seems that his speed threat would make him more effective between the 20's than in the red zone where there is no "over the top" to worry about.
flash back to the Falcons game. I might be wrong but on.Ross's TD he got past the strong safety in a cover 2.
I think Eifert occupied the other safety on the other side of the field.
Im probally wrong but if you dont have a TE that can draw attention from a saftey or backer its really harder to throw vertical.
Ross didnt get help from Lazor lack of knowledge to get WR open underneath either.
I saw Ross run no pivot routes......sluggo routes or very few rub routes.
Lazor used Ross on the same 3 routes.
not hard for the defense to catch on to.
