EaglesAddict Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 They keep looking for that speed element that they wanted with Quez. At this point, I'd be shocked if Ross can offer much. He may be (or was) fast, but apparently he can't, you know, play football very well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kz! Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Camp body. I'm more intrigued about seeing what the rookies have to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

time2rock Posted May 23 Author Share Posted May 23 Ross announced he was retiring in July, 2023. Will be interesting to see if he is committed this time or pulls a Parker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just pissed when he saw we traded Foles and let Maclin walk and thought at that point Indy gave him a better chance at a ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagle45 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Can’t be worse than Mike Wallace and can’t be much worse than Desean 2.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in 2018 he was OK. If he is not a fluke this season...and is trying ..maybe he could provide enough to soften the coverage. Not expecting any production from him...but hoping he can pull at least 1 defender his way, to give other guys better production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll probably go to the PS, collect a paycheck, and be ready to get called up if/when Campbell gets hurt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgcd3 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 People keep saying he was just a speed guy but I think you might be confusing him with Tavon Austin. Ross was a good college WR. Now it never fully translated but coming into the draft he was respected as a WR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn’t just a fast guy but due to his 40 time at the combine he was drafted too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point he’s probably washed of any potential other than a bottom of the roster deep threat, but early in his career he flashed legitimate talent — not just as a deep threat but, funny enough, a red zone target in his second season. The guy just kept getting injured, unfortunately. But I think if he didn’t have that season ending injury in his first game as a rookie he could have been a really good player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time2rock Posted May 27 Author Share Posted May 27 Ross just need to be good enough to be a backup to Smith and Brown on the outside. Quez was just too unreliable unfortunately. But they still need to figure out slot WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penn7980 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Ross is a speed guy and out of football for a year. He claims to have his speed, though the football skills need to be reactivated. Give him a chance to show what he can do in the summer. Even if he does not make the roster, he stands a good chance to make the PS where his speed will be valuable to keep the secondary in check to cover speedy WRs.

EazyEaglez Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Apparently Ross is being consistent enough to place himself in consideration for that 3rd WR spot. If they can get anything of value out of the position it is a plus from last season. The bar is very low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would depend on who you ask because around here, people like to exaggerate based on how much they dislike certain players, coaches, etc... My answer would be that it was a little bit of everything. The scheme certainly played a role and Sirianni was not shy about telling people in press conferences that the passing game went through 3 guys. Then you had opportunities like the screen to Quez where he obviously didn't follow the block correctly and failed to convert a 3rd and 2, setting up a FG... or the pass into the back of the endzone that bounced right off Zaccheaus' facemask ... you know, plays where the receiver just didn't execute. Then there were plays where the 3rd WR on the field is actually looking for the ball and getting open and Hurts locked in on somebody else that was covered, missing an opportunity. All 3 of those reasons contributed and every once in a while, a defense just plays great defense against certain calls and it's not necessarily the fault of anybody on the offense. The challenge for Moore will be to get as much of the correctable things corrected as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
