His response was, "Whatever they need me to. There are a lot of things I do well. It's not so much of just 'run down the field' or 'clear this guy out,' there's a lot of things I can do. With the way guys are moved around this offense, I'll be able to showcase a lot of that."

Do you all think this was a jab at the former coaching staff for how he was used the past two years? Or do you think it was just Ross emphasizing that he's not just a deep threat?

He is basically saying what anyone with eyes saw last year.  He wasn't utilized as a threat anywhere but the red zone.  He just ran verticals and cleared space.  Stupid, stupid, stupid.  ZT is going to look like a genius compared to Marv (not saying much) for simply using his assets to help the team the best way possible.  

It could also be a little tongue in cheek to get Seattle thinking about him more than they might be, but I doubt his words would make much of a difference.  Hoping Ross can return to Washington where he lit up college.  He scored a TD every 5 touches in his college career.  Last year, it was every three. Give the kid chances.
