What you can and cannot pin on Greg Roman with Ravens offense
Putting it all together:
When Greg Roman didn’t get a head coaching job it was big for this franchise. This is still true. Roman is part of the problem, he just isn’t the problem. It’s also not all that logical to call for the offensive coordinator’s job in the middle of the season. Roman’s job is to get this right during the season, hopefully as soon as possible. Roman’s job being pushed to somebody else makes no sense. He’s not Marc Trestman and the Ravens clearly don’t have a Marty Mornhinweg problem. Remember, the number one thing about Roman as an offensive coordinator is that he is so creative. The wheels are going to keep spinning and they may just spin towards an answer that makes everything work.
Roman and Jackson are the two people with the most power to fix the offense. The Ravens have gotten two straight games with less than an A grade game out of Jackson. Jackson didn’t become a bad quarterback he’s just in a rut. The numbers are going to pop back up and he’s going to get right at the most important position. Jackson in my estimation is pressing and focusing too hard on being a big play-maker just with his arm. Believing Jackson will get things together helps me believe that Roman will get things sorted out. If Jackson turns it around it scratches a thing Roman can’t control off his worry about list. Then it’s just the offensive line on that worry list. At that point it’s just about making the right adjustments.

What Roman has to do is obvious. He has to choose a main running back and let that player take the running game back to the heights of 2019. He has to get play-makers the ball in the open field to increase the chances of big plays that make things easier. Finally, Roman has to do what he can as a play-caller to get more people involved in the pass catching business than just Andrews and Brown. If Roman does these things and Jackson gets back into an MVP mode of play, the offense will be just fine and everyone calling for an in season change is going to be proven wrong. The Ravens have to get right and Roman has a chance to see that happen soon.
