They have access to the much deeper next-gen stats the NFL only releases to teams and partners that don't get published, and essentially Ross flashes elite straight-line speed occasionally (not top 5 in the league though) but rarely shows elite speed in any other part of his game.
I just have lost any interest in the guy, especially knowing he is probably going somewhere else next year.
Thanks for sharing.
Perhaps he's just able to show off his elite speed and quickness without pads on, not as much on the field. I dunno.
If you watch the NFL 360 interview with Ross and DeSean Jackson, they talk about how DeSean gave Ross advice to not always go full speed. Ross has taken that advice perhaps too literally.
It's worth noting that 4 of the Bengals' WRs are actually set to hit FA after this season:
Ross
Green
Thomas
Erickson
Tate is set to follow suit the following year.
I'd say out of that group, none other than AJ are even $5 mill a year at this point, right? And AJ probably not worth more than $10-12 mill?
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.
Sorry for Party Rocking!
