Pirate Galaxy » Greg Roman got bumped up to offensive coordinat

or in Baltimore after the Ravens’ loss to the Chargers in the playoffs and he knows one thing for sure about what he’ll be putting together in 2019.On a podcast for the Ravens website Iman Marshall Baltimore Ravens Jersey , Roman said the offense is going to be “tailored” around quarterback Lamar Jackson and have “elements” of what the team did once Jackson took over last season, but that he sees the process of building the entire system as starting from scratch.“We’re literally redefining everything we do as a staff, as a group,” Roman said. “Literally, everything. Every formation, every route, every run, every route concept. How can we make this offense, which up until this point has been good … we’re trying to make it as great as we can be. How can we make it as learnable 2019 Iman Marshall Jersey , as understandable, as streamlined, as efficient [as possible]?”The process isn’t going to be over in a snap. While they know what Jackson brings to the table, Roman spoke often about “how the roster gets shaped” influencing what the team is going to do and there’s a lot about to happen on that front in the next couple of months. In the NFL Network documentary, “America’s Game: The 2012 Baltimore Ravens,” John Harbaugh has a simple and memorable quote to sum up what his feelings were on the eve of the 2012 AFC Championship: “The days are long, but the years are short.” He’s of course referring to Baltimore yet again heading up to New England to take on the very same Pats team that had stunningly knocked them off a game away from the Super Bowl a year prior to that.Six years later, the Ravens longtime head coach can again use that refrain. This time it’s not in reference to a conference title game, but instead an eerily similar scenario that will decide if Baltimore’s season will continue into January.Baltimore’s longtime skipper recently received a vote of utmost confidence in the form of contract extension talks White Tavon Young Jersey , and he responded with a huge win over the Chargers.Photo by Harry How/Getty ImagesAs recently as about six weeks ago, Harbaugh’s job security was very much hanging in the balance. If you consider the context, people were right to think this way.A 3-1 start had given way to a ton of familiar problems from the last few years; a lack of creativity on offense, uninspired play on D that cost the team late in games, and some bizarre coaching decisions that would cause fans and the media to put the cross-hairs directly on the Super Bowl winning head coach. However, it was one decision he made at the absolute peak of the hysteria surrounding Baltimore’s three-game losing streak that has them in the position they’re in now.What made that decision possible? A week 17 game almost 365 days ago which stunned them in every sense of the word and sent them into a soul search which ultimately led to this position.Without a stunning week 17 loss to Cincinnati one year ago, do the Ravens even consider drafting Lamar Jackson?Photo by Harry How/Getty ImagesThe above broadcast call by Ian Eagle of CBS is one that Ravens fans will always remember, for all the wrong reasons. All Baltimore’s defense had to do was make one play on fourth down and 12 to stop the Bengals and win a crucial game that would put them into the playoffs as a wild card.We all know the story, and there’s no need to continue re-living what was one of the worst days in recent memory for the fanbase. However Tavon Young Jersey 2019 , considering what’s happened since, it’s critical to understanding the 5-1 win streak the ravens have (almost miraculously) ripped off.While hypotheticals are more just a fun exercise rather than something actually meaningful, allow me, the humble writer, to posit a pretty important one for you here: If the Ravens defense does step up in that spot and that team made the playoffs as they really should have, what are the reverberating effects the fans would’ve felt in the spring? My guess, as I’m sure many of yours would be, is that they don’t consider change at the quarterback position for at least another year.Instead, Tyler Boyd ripped our hearts out on New Years’ Eve 2017 White Matt Skura Jersey , which allowed this to happen:Lamar Jackson was not a perfect draft prospect, which is why he fell to 32nd overall. He’s also not a perfect NFL quarterback right now; a lot of work will be required in the next offseason to help continue his progression as a pro player.However, it’s simply hard to imagine Baltimore going on the run they’re on right now without them drafting Jackson back in April, and inserting him into the starting lineup when they did. His unique rushing ability coupled with his innate sense to make just the right amount of plays through the air when needed are a perfect compliment for what the Ravens want to do to have success.Run the ball, control the clock, and set the defense up to close things out late in the contest. In a way, Saturday’s win over the Chargers was a microcosm of this as they ran it consistently well, Jackson hit a perfect throw to Mark Andrews for a long touchdown, and the defense came through in the clutch with yet another late touchdown.That win Matt Skura Jersey 2019 , coupled with some help from the New Orleans Saints and JuJu Smith-Schuster has the stage set for week 17. Win and you’re in as division champions; lose and you go home.So what’s different from this year to last? Or the year prior when Antonio Brown reached over the goal line to ruin Christmas for us?Well, we’ve already mentioned the difference in offensive philosophies which is of course a huge factor. However, there does seem to be a bit of a sea change in team morale since the change at quarterback was made. This could be evidenced by what’s turning into a common refrain that was being shouted after the win in L.A. and began after Lamar’s first win over the Bengals in week 11:I recently wrote an opinion piece discussing why the Ravens are making the right move in hitching their wagon to Harbaugh. That ran before the Chargers game and I’ll still believe that regardless of what happens this weekend.The above video, as well as the swagger they’re currently playing with are good examples of why. That’s the attitude they’ll need to take into their upcoming matchup against Cleveland.The stage is set, and the stakes are the same as last year. A week 17 home game against a Browns team, who have certainly shown promise, but ultimately have nothing to play for in this one.Win and you’re in? Good. There won’t be any excuses offered up, or moral victories handed out no matter what happens in this one.There’s only one thing left to do: Go win a game.
