Running in a “passing league”

The Baltimore Ravens are going to run the ball in 2019. That’s not a secret. John Harbaugh hasn’t left it up to interpretation. The firing of Marty Mornhinweg and passing of the torch to Greg Roman was arguably the most deliberate attempt to solidify a true offensive identity in Ravens history.

Mornhinweg, a believer of the West Coast offense, used short passes as a running game. It didn’t work. With Joe Flacco under center dating back to the start of the 2016 season, the Ravens were dreadful when they lost balance between running the ball and throwing it.
