Honestly, IF we weren't throwing 50+ times a game, Ross would likely be getting 4-5 targets a game and getting 40-50 yards receiving. The real opportunity Ross got this year is that we can't run the ball, so we throw a ton.
Price got opportunity last week. I doubt that within the span of a week he becomes some great blocker. The throwing 50+ times a game is rough on Price.
1) You don't know that he'd only get 4-5 targets a game if they passed less. We'll have to wait and see if/when that happens.
2) Even at 40-50 yards a game, that's 640-800 yards, which is solid for a WR2.
Stop focusing so much about what he did (or didn't do) last year. It was very apparent that Marvin emphasized not making mental mistakes and if you do, it will get you benched. Taylor is not punishing Ross like that if he makes a mistake, instead continuing to give him opportunities...and it's paying off.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
