Ross is a fast, shifty WR that played at CAL during a time when they had horrible QB's, from 2008-2010.

His receiving numbers aren't impressive mainly due to the lack of quality QB's. He played with Jahvid Best and Shane Vereen, who were very good college RBs. They got a lot of the attention on offense. He has good hands, plays well in tight spaces, and of course as we've seen in the video, he can return kicks really well. I am very excited about picking him up.

He was signed to our PS last season. He and Jarred Fayson present a couple of guys with "potential" that have talent. With the signing of Donnie Avery, perhaps the coaching staff sees enough in those two (Ross & Fayson) to feel comfortable with drafting the best QB, NT, CB, TE they can and add a reciever later in the draft or next year?

I wouldn't sleep on either player as Cal used Ross as a multi-purpose guy to maximize his talent and Fayson (if I remember correctly) only played WR a couple years at Illinois?

I think he was signed as Practice squad fodder. He could make the team as a punt returner perhaps...he isn't going to steal any snaps from Collie in the slot however. I don't know if we will run that WR screen play much this year without Garcon but maybe he could do that. I didn't see elusive break away speed...or great route running...just a shifty player with some guts...

I did like the Braveheart music though lol!

Hah yeah the music was pretty cool. It's actually Last of the Mohicans which is an incredibly awesome movie if you haven't seen it. One of the better war movies out there about the French and Indian war.

Totally right! I have that on Blu ray and just watched it last week..I don't know why I said Braveheart. Classic film and the scenes outside Ashville, NC are beautiful!

It definitely fits Braveheart as well. I really do want to see Last of the Mohicans again. It's been ages since I've seen that movie and it definitely is epic! You might've inspired me to pick it up on Blu ray. :thanks:

      Next Defensive Coordinator

      By chad72 · Posted

      Packers fans can tell me about Joe Barry that was their DC from 2021-23. They were always in the Top 12-15 range in terms of points per game as opposed to the Colts.   But the year 2021, the Colts were on par because we ran the ball well and possessed it well. Not so much in 2022, and 2023 was a bit of defensive regression for decent possession of the ball from Bradley’s unit.   Brandon Staley is another name but I’d prefer Jon Barry for his units to generate pressure. Otherwise we’d have to look at college like Packers getting the Boston College HC.   I’m a fan of Jim Leonhard that was a heck of a defensive coach / DC at Wisconsin, and is now a DB coach with Broncos. Dave Merritt, the Chiefs DB coach has done an outstanding job there and was interviewed for DC by 49ers.   My pick would be Jim Leonhard or Dave Merritt.

      You can’t keep winning only scoring one TD A game. I think they have gotten some what lucky with who they have played. Colds dline beat up so we will see.

      By Restinpeacesweetchloe · Posted

      What I meant is they are not going to come out and just throw 50 times. They are going to try and break your will and run out the clock. It’s  probably going to be a low scoring game. They have only scored 3 offensive TD. I am shocked they str 3-0. They don’t have many offensive weapons. Harris is not really a pass catching back who will break a long run. Now could that change. Off course. But their Oline id beat up. I was reading an article how they tried to open things up and Fields immediately got sacked. He they try to open things up till he revert back to Bears fields.

      I don’t know enough of the position coaches on other teams to say who is worthy of promotion. Best to keep an eye out on head coaches on the hot seat and their staffs.
