The area between the 20s is where Ross should excel, but he kept looking completely lost in his routes. Maybe Ross will respond well to Taylor or maybe he won't. The last coaching staff got a lot of production out of Green, Sanu, Jones, Tate and Boyd, so to blame them for Ross' disappointing first two seasons is rather not supported by facts.
Boyd went from the #3 WR to hardly seeing the field when Lazor took over in '17 and rebounded in '18. Lazor didn't even coach Jones, Sanu, and Tate. The only WR that was consistently good under Lazor was AJ.
They didn't design plays for Ross in the red zone. They primarily used him between the 20's to clear out S's to give Boyd and AJ more room to operate. In the red zone, he actually ran routes other than flies.
