The Baltimore Ravens found an offensive model that worked for them just enough midseason to allow their defense to carry them with rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson leading the way. It was a very good and very efficient temporary bandaid that was assisted by teams’ unfamiliarity with the quarterback and other personnel being used, but the man responsible for the on-the-fly architecting himself understands that the new season calls for a new approach.
That would be Greg Roman, who was the team’s run game coordinator last season and obviously took on a much more prominent role after Joe Flacco was injured and Jackson was installed, the offense turning heavily to running the ball.
