If Ross were a more capable receiver last year, he would have caught more passes. He had plenty of opportunities. It had nothing to do with Marvin Lewis, Andy Dalton or anyone other than John Ross.

In fact, Ross' position coach this year, Bob Bicknell, was his position coach last year. So even if Ross explodes this season all it tells us is that it took him three years to show up.

 

If anything, it's probably safe to say Ross and Dalton don't mesh well with their skill sets. Dalton's always done better with bigger receivers in the shorter to intermediate route range. Ross isn't a big guy who will win 50-50 balls deep, and Dalton can't hit WRs consistently in stride deep down the field.

All I'm saying is let's see if Ross still as unproductive if he's used often in the short to intermediate passing game, as he really felt misused.
