 Truth is, I don't even really know where to start. Don't get mad, it's just what it's foreshad, I think Graven being. You two team keep it clean. What's going on is seeing Graven here with another video. And in this video with John Harbaugh, I'll set it today in his presser that he expects both Greg Roman and Wing Martindale to return to the Ravens next season as both the offensive and defensive coordinators. And I know this has been a hot topic throughout this entire season. And there's been a lot of questions surrounding it. More so on Greg Roman's part, not so much Wing. But some people on the side of the field where they're like, hey, we want Greg Roman to stay. And some people want him to go. And you can understand points from both sides, but me, I am a bit disappointed. I am disappointed because I think that the Ravens should have moved in a different direction when it comes to the offensive coordinator position. Now, and I'm gonna tell you why. And we're gonna speak on both sides of the fence, why people feel the way that they feel. And cause I can understand both sides. So I'm letting you know from now that this could go on for a while. And for me saying that, that means it could really go on for a while. But anyway, so sit back, relax. And wow, we got a lots to talk about. So with Greg Roman, I think that the Ravens should go in another direction. Reason being because Greg Roman, we know who Greg Roman is. We know what he brings to, not only the Ravens offense, but NFL offense. We know that with Greg Roman, your rushing attack is going to be on fire. It is going to be one of the best in the league. Year in, year out is a guarantee. It's gonna happen. Your rushing attack is going to be one of the best in the national football league. That's a guarantee. Greg Roman, the way that he designs, runs and schemes, it's just a beautiful thing. He gets it done on the ground, year in, year out. But another guarantee for Greg Roman's offense in the league, your passing offense is going to be at the bottom five. That's also a guarantee. If we look at the numbers since 2011, his passing offenses were, 2011 ranked 29, 2012 ranked 23, 2013 ranked 30th, 2014 ranked 30th, 2015 and 16, it was ranked 28th and 30th, and 2019 and 20, it was ranked 27th and 32nd. So you know what you're going to get with a Greg Roman, so I know people, they want him to stay so Lamar Jackson can have consistency. Because we know with Joe Flacco, that's one thing that he truly lacked at the offensive coordinator position was consistency. Because if we look at that, in 2008, from 2008 to 2012, well, summer 2012, Joe Flacco, the offensive coordinators was Cam Cameron. Then in 2012, he got fired for the Super Bowl run and Jim Carwell took over for the next year and a half. Then Joe Flacco in 2014 got Gary Kubiak, Gary Kubiak left, then we got Mark Tressman. Mark Tressman got fired in the middle of the season so they went to Marty Morniwake. Marty Morniwake stayed two and a half seasons and they went to Greg Roman and Greg Roman is still here to this day. And I know that kind of, we kind of went into Lamar Jackson's timeframe as well. But we know with Joe Flacco, there was a lot of fluctuation and change at the offensive coordinator position. So with that part, I can understand Raven's fans when they say, hey, we want Greg Roman to stay because he gives us consistency. So yes, he does give you consistency, but you can't expect the passing game to really get better because he's shown you, he has a resume and it's not a resume that's only been out for like, oh, one or two years. No, he has an extensive resume as an offensive coordinator. He showed you with the 49ers. He showed you with the bills. He showed you with the Ravens. So what more do you really expect from Greg Roman moving forward? I just don't understand that because with Greg Roman, the thing that I really fear about just this Ravens offense and we saw it this year, Dad's just called it out and we did a video on that. We'll talk about that later. But one thing that I also fear, not just with the whole passing concept, because yeah, we saw Kurt Warner's video, we heard Steve Smith's senior, we saw JT Sullivan's, we saw all that. But one thing that we've seen with our own eyes is the lack of use of the weapons that we have. Of course, we as Ravens fans, we want this guy, that guy, that guy, that guy, but the Ravens, they consistently failed to put players in position to succeed. They consistently failed to put offensive players in a position of success where they can play to their strengths. They don't do that and we've seen that. So I can't understand why people would still want to retain Greg Roman. That's why I feel like they should have just went in another direction. I really do. And then another thing too, I know a lot of people like, hey, well, what about the run game? What if Greg Roman leaves? What's gonna happen to our run game? Is Greg Roman's running scheme? Is that the only one that can be successful in the NFL? No, it's not. It's not. If Ravens build up the offensive line, they still gonna be able to run the bowl. It'll just be a bit different. And then if they got a different offensive coordinator, they could still incorporate some of the things that work for them in the run game. It's not like Greg Roman's run offense is the end all be all. Like I said, it's guaranteed that it's gonna be a top five Russian attack, but it's not the last Russian attack in the world. People can come up with different concepts and different schemes to get these running backs going. And then if you even think of Lamar Jackson, in my opinion, Lamar Jackson, some of his best runs come when it's not even designed for him to run a ball. Some of his best runs, especially this season, some of his best runs come when it's a passing play and he's looking, looking, looking, nobody getting open. Okay, I'm taking off. So just because Greg Roman's running scheme has been really good, really good. Gotta give him his credit for that's been really good. And it's a lot more complex than I initially understood it to be. So shout out to him for that. But it's not the only running scheme in the world. It's not. It's really not. So for people being in fear that, oh man, if Greg Roman were to leave, why would you do that? Cause what about the run game? What about it? We can still run the ball. You still got good running backs. You still got Lamar Jackson. You're still gonna be able to run the ball. That starts with the offensive line. So I just, I'm just not a big fan of the decision. Hey, I really wish that he would prove me wrong, but based off of history, based off of the resume, it's not really looking like it's gonna happen. And another thing too, another thing that a lot of people have been saying, oh Ravens, if they keep Greg Roman, okay, cool. Keep Greg Roman. You gotta bring in a passing coordinator. You ever heard of David Cully? Do you know who David Cully? That's the Ravens passing game coordinator. And I believe too, he's a wide receiver coach because the wide receiver coach used to be Bobby Ingram I believe, but he moved to Titans coach. But David Cully is already the passing game court. We have a passing game coordinator already. And you saw what happened. You saw what that was this past season. Man, I remember saying it all throughout last season. And y'all can go back to old videos and watch them if you feel like it. But I remember saying all throughout last season, especially after last season ended, that I loved what the offense did, the Russian offense. And Lamar Jackson was super efficient as a quarterback, super efficient. But one thing that I continue to say is that we need to see this offense continue to do what worked, but we also need to see this offense evolve. We need to see it take another step forward in the passing game. And this year, it didn't really seem like it did that. Now Lamar Jackson, let's talk about him because he shared some of the blame with this too. Lamar Jackson, this year, I've had a lot more confidence in Lamar Jackson when it comes to third and longs. Third and longs, I've had a lot more confidence in him because throughout this year, a lot of times, sometimes he's missing that, but a lot of times he's made it where he will hit the throw on third and long. And he will stay in that pocket or if he takes off, but when he's throwing, he will make the right read and the right throw on third and long. So his passing game to me, it has taken a slight step forward, but something with Lamar Jackson that can be very frustrating is a lot of times he does not take what the defense gives him. Because a lot of times, and we talked about this throughout this season too, he's always looking for that big play. He's always looking for that big play, that big shot, the kill shot. And it could be a check down right here. It could be somebody in the flats right here and he won't take it. He won't take it. So again, of course, you know, a lot of quarterbacks, they want that big play, but again, you got to be patient. You got to be patient too. And a lot of times take what the defense is give you. Because enough times if you continue to take what the defense is give you, then you can hit that shot up top. So that part is not on Greg Roman. That's on Lamar Jackson. So he got to step up with that. And another thing with Lamar Jackson, a lot of opportunities will miss this year with the deep ball. The deep ball Lamar Jackson certainly struggled this year with the deep ball. There were times, especially in the beginning of the season, there were times when Hollywood blow past the defenders. He's out of there. He's gone. Hollywood is only hit. The only thing between him and the end zone is space. And Lamar would either over or under throw it. So that's not on Greg Roman. That's not on him. That's on Lamar. So Greg Roman is not completely at fault for everything that's happened with the Ravens offense. Now he does share a large chunk of the blame and I still do feel like the Ravens should have moved in a different direction. But Lamar, he got to own up to his too. He has to. And that's so important. And with Lamar, there will be sometimes where he just wouldn't see some people. Now sometimes it could be because the offensive line wasn't really blocking that much. Other times he would be receiving protection and just, he wouldn't see him. He just wouldn't see him. So there will be missed opportunities. So that's on him. So with Lamar Jackson though, one thing with the coaching, you got to challenge him. You got to challenge him. Dad's Bryant brought this up in his Instagram posts from yesterday. He was showing that Lamar Jackson throw the fade route in the end zone. How many of those did we see this year? I really don't remember any. I don't remember any. And that allowed people to try to run with that narrative. Oh, Lamar Jackson, he just can't throw that. That's why the Ravens don't run it because Lamar Jackson can't throw it. No, it's because coaching isn't challenging him and they not letting him throw it. Dad's Bryant used the word about Lamar Jackson when it comes to passing and he said Lamar Jackson is getting a lack of opportunity when it comes to the passing game. Dad's Bryant said it. And again, we're going to cover all that in a Dad's Bryant video whenever that comes out. But if Lamar Jackson is getting a lack of opportunity, usually when we hear about a lack of opportunity, it comes from somebody who is a second or third string player, somebody that's a backup. That's not getting playing time. But Lamar Jackson is obviously none of those things. So this is coaching doing that. Coaching is continuing to hold him back. You can't do that. You can't do that. If you really want somebody to grow, if you really want somebody to take another step forward, you can't keep the reins on them. You cannot keep the leash on them. You got to let them break free. You got to challenge them. If there's a pass that Lamar struggles with, okay, y'all need to continue to go over that throughout the season and practice over and over and over and over and over. You got to keep doing it. Because if you don't keep doing it and you just be like, oh, you know what? We tried that in week one against the Browns. That Miles Boyk can come back right on the end zone. We tried that against the Browns and it failed. So you know what? We're never gonna do another one for the rest of the season because I sure didn't see any. I didn't, I sure didn't see any after that. None. So you as a coach, you have to challenge the players. You got to challenge the players. If you feel like a player is limited at doing anything, then that's up to you to be like, okay, well, we know what we need to work on. We know what we need to do. We know what we need to fix. We know what we need to adjust. We know, we see it. You can't just let the player take the easy way out. And you as a coach, you can't take the easy way out. So that part is on Greg Roman. Now, back to Lamar. A part that's on both Lamar and Greg Roman and coaching is just, is with Lamar. Lamar, he likes to throw to the open receiver. He loves to throw to the open receiver. But we got to realize Lamar has to take another leap forward in knowing what college open is, cause college open is wide open and knowing what NFL open is. So Lamar Jackson as a quarterback, he has to get better at throwing receivers open because when they're running their routes, a quarterback could be on them all day. So you as a quarterback, you have to lead that receiver open. You have to throw him open. So that aspect of Lamar Jackson's game, I feel it's on both coaching and Lamar Jackson. That's on both of them. So if he could get that aspect of his game down, that will take him to a whole another level. That will take him to a whole another level. So again, the majority of this thing, in my opinion, it's on Greg Roman, but Lamar Jackson again, he is not scotch free. He is not innocent by any means. And again, y'all know me. I love some Lamar Jackson for you. Y'all know I love Lamar Jackson, but we're gonna say what needs to be said. And another thing too, back to the scheme. And again, a lot of people been calling it elementary concepts and whatnot. We of course heard Steve Smith, senior Kurt Warner, JT Sullivan, I don't remember if it's Sullivan or old Sullivan, the QB school. That's what I call them. And we've seen it so many times where people talk about the schemes and concepts and all that, and how it's just so, it's like somebody, I think it was a QB school, he called it, he said, I don't mean to offend anybody, anything, but this is like a high school play. This is a high school play. And he was watching film from the Ravens and Bills playoff game. He said, this is a high school play. If anybody ever says that about an NFL offense, that's terrible. That is terrible. But with the way that the offense is designed and what they do and who they choose to involve and not, people ain't gonna wanna come. Receivers ain't gonna wanna come. And it's like, it's this thing where you know these receivers and just really the NFL, they got all the love in the world for Lamar Jackson. You know what they do, a lot of them. As far as the players, you know, immediate, immediate difference of the story, but with the players, they love Lamar Jackson. A lot of them don't like playing against him, but they love Lamar Jackson. So I don't even feel like it's anything against him. I think with a lot of these players, they see, oh, that Ravens offense, ugh. This Ravens offense, I ain't going there. I don't wanna go there. So what the Ravens do on offense as of right now, if they really wanted to go out and get somebody that was a proven guy, they would have to overpay. They would have to pay so much extra money to go get that guy. Because, I mean, Harbaugh gave a good answer when he was asked about that in the press of the day. He said, oh, what would it take for, what would you tell the number one Y receiver that wanted to come here? And Harbaugh gave a really good answer. He said, if you are somebody that's all about me, then it ain't gonna work out. Then we'll look forward to playing against you. But if you wanna be somebody that's all about team and winning culture and all that and always competing and all that, then hey, welcome. We welcome you. So that was nice and that was true. But again, money talks. That contract is gonna have to final say so and who comes and who stays. And with the Ravens, I know that they will want to hope that somebody would be willing to take less in order to join the Ravens so they could be a winning team, be on a winning team. But with this scheme, like there's gonna be a lot of players that probably won't even be willing to take less. So I just, I'm not a big fan of the decision, man. I'm really not. And I'm hoping for the best of course, but I just don't agree with it. I don't. So I'm not gonna root against Greg Roman at all. I'm not gonna root for his stuff to fail. I'm not gonna root for him to fail, for the team's offense to fail. I hope they do well. I hope they do an amazing job. But my expectations, more so for the passing offense, they're gonna be low. They're gonna be low. Because again, Greg Roman, he showed you who he is. You know who he is, you know what he's done. Even if you bring in a passing game coordinator. Like, we got a passing game coordinator. And again, we saw the product this past season, even with having a passing game coordinator. So, and then another question that people will ask, oh, well, who should be the offensive coordinator then? If we get Greg Roman, then who? Who should it be? And I said, I think it should be a young guy who can relate to the players. Young guy, and maybe somebody from the college ranks who doesn't have much experience there. Or even somebody in the NFL who may be a QB coach or something, but does not have much experience or any experience as an offensive coordinator. They could bring and come up with some new, innovative concepts. And they could be somebody that could relate a lot more to the players and really just try to get the best out of the players, both on a personal and a business level. Because that can go such a long way. Both, if they can get the most out of them on both levels. Because you can get the most out of somebody business-wise, but if you can get it out of them personally too, that can make the business that much better. It can make it that much better. So, if you can really get somebody that can relate to these guys, relate to a Lamar Jackson, relate to a Holly Roe, relate to Boykin, relate to all of them, just relate to them. And just really get the best out of them and put them in positions to succeed, play them to their strengths. But the reason I say I would want a guy that doesn't have much NFL experience is because there wouldn't be that much NFL tape on him. Now, one thing you got to give credit, where credit is due, and one thing that we got to keep in mind about this entire football season is that this season was an anomaly. It was different than any other football season that's ever been. Why? Because of the whole C-19, because of the whole pandemic. And that's obviously much bigger than football, much bigger than football. So, these teams, they didn't have the OTAs. They didn't have a normal training camp. This season, off-season was just not normal. And a lot of these guys, they didn't really even have an off-season. They didn't really have an off-season. Everything got ramped up, and then, boom, it was week one already. So, you got to keep that in mind when it comes to a lot of these teams. But, something to think about. Somebody that didn't have any excuses. Look at the Browns. Look at the Browns. The Browns, they had to go through the same off-season that all these other NFL teams had to go through. But they brought in a new GM. They brought in a new head coach. They brought in a completely new system in this type of off-season that we got. Or the lack of off-season that we got. And look how it worked out for them. It worked out great for them. They made the playoffs for the first time in 18 years. New system, new coach, new everything. So, I don't want to hear nothing about, oh, if the Ravens bring in somebody, it may take the players a long time to learn it. No. Browns just did it. They showed you what can be done with a lack of an off-season. So, just imagine if we get a regular off-season. Now, this off-season probably, it's not going to be regular. But, now NFL has more of an understanding and more control over the, well, not necessarily control, but they have more of an understanding of the situation. They have more of an understanding and they have experience now having a season throughout this pandemic. So, ain't no excuses for that. So, Ravens would be more than equipped to bring in somebody new and implement a whole new system. But anyway, we'll see how this thing works out, man. Team keeping clean. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all and I'm out.
