 Look man, I ain't trying to come on here and kill nobody vibe But I got to always keep it real with y'all. This is something that we've been talking about for a long time on here There's possibility But it's important that we remain realistic about what it could mean and actually what it could not mean But anyway, Greg Roman Ravens current offensive coordinator There's been a report that's been going around that has been getting so many Ravens fans hyped and happy and excited and jubilated and just They they ready for it to happen. I've seen so many people talk about oh, we're gonna throw a party like project X Everybody's invited. I don't see so many people talk about oh, it's gonna be a cookout. Everybody come through I don't have people ask oh, how you gonna celebrate when Greg Roman gets this job And I'm like, hey, that's cool. I understand the excitement, but at the same time You got a temper expectations Not even tempering expectations like he won't get the job, but temper expectations for what could possibly come next now Reading the report is from SL Mandale Stuart Mandale. He said source Stanford has talked with Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman about its coaching vacancy Roman was on Jim Harbaugh Stanford staff in 2009 and 2010 I didn't know that I Didn't you know that that's funny. I had no clue about that. I didn't know about that But that makes these hardballs would it when Harbaugh if a hardball loves you. Oh boy, you you in you always got a job I never knew that because again with Jim Harbaugh, he was on Stanford staff in 2009 and 2010 But then Jim Harbaugh, he went to the NFL and he went to the 49ers and you know his offensive coordinator like 40s And then of course Years later, but I think before what was it 2007 with Greg Roman was I think he's like an offensive line coach or something for the Ravens So it was a while back where Greg Roman was actually on the Ravens before But then yeah, I guess he was on Stanford and he went to 49ers and then uh, yeah He went to bills and whatever else he went and then he made his way to the Ravens So if these Ravens, I mean, excuse me at the hardballs if the hardballs love you You will have a job forever You will always be taken care of so hey, you can say a lot about them hardballs But you can never say they don't put their people on but anyway Not knowing how many other candidates there are at this time for the Stanford vacancy And I know again once a lot of Ravens fans saw that they jumping for joy like, oh, that's gonna be it Greg Roman could finally possibly be on up out of here So many people excited and I get the excitement, but at the same time I I just I've been saying on here Greg Roman could go He could go tomorrow Ravens could be like, all right Greg Roman you're relieved of your duties Or if they waited till the end of the year or whatever his contract expiring anyway if he leaves, okay, cool great, but These Ravens will still have the same philosophy So whatever offensive coordinator they bring in They're gonna tell that offensive as long as they have the same leadership the same owner the same GM the same head coach They're gonna tell that offensive coordinator. Hey, look, this is what our plan is. This is what we want to do on offense This is how we want to operate on offense. This is how we want our offense to look This is what we want you to run. This is how we want you to run it now. We ain't gonna get in your way But these are our priorities on offense You either get with it or you can get lost Because we've seen this story time and time again, I could again I ain't trying to burst nobody bubble But we got to be honest about it like we remember back people complained about complain about Cam Cameron for the longest now when he got five courses ended up being Jim Carwell than a Super Bowl But then after that After that Remember the Mark Trestman's and I know a lot of people it's funny because and I forget it myself So I don't blame anybody who forgets a lot of people be like, oh Remember the last time that we fired an offensive coordinator in the middle of the season Remember what happened Super Bowl, baby? And I had to tell somebody none of the way hold up there, buddy That's wrong because the last time Ravens fired an offensive coordinator in the middle of the season There was not a Super Bowl that followed. I believe that was in 2016 when they did that to Mark Trestman They let him go in the middle of the year. So anyway But yeah, there were the complaints about Mark Trestman. There were the complaints about Marty Morniwake They were the complaints about Greg Roman. They were the complaints about who am I missing? I know. Oh now Gary Kubiak They weren't any complaints because I think Gary Kubiak was like a breath of fresh air. I think Ravens feels like oh my goodness It's a breath of fresh air. I can't believe this and He just it seemed like he brought life to this Baltimore Ravens here and and Ravens were like They were in a dog dog place because that was around the time with that whole whole right stuff and all that stuff So yeah, it was a lot of a lot of stuff going on back then So with Gary Kubiak, just the fact that the Ravens were operating how they were it was like whoo But um, but anyway, um, I just Yeah, a new offensive coordinator great but change it offensive coordinator great But I just my expectations would be like these are still the Ravens They still have the philosophy that's in place. They still have the way that they want to run this football team in place So what should I really expect to change? What can I really what what is a realistic expectation of what's next on offense for these Baltimore Ravens? Ravens do not value offense like other teams value offense They don't value the valuable positions on offense like other teams value the valuable positions on offense And I feel like that that's why their offense is limited. That's why their offense has so many hiccups Now could the offense be better? Yeah, it certainly could with a new offensive coordinator. It could be better Could be worse too, but it could be better and I just don't like what Greg Roman, we know Yeah, he's a special specializes in the the run game. He got this strong run game Da-da-da. I know that's been one of a lot of people's reason Oh, no, we don't want to let Greg Roman go because what about the run game? Look man, it's a copycat league as we all know you can take concepts from what Greg Roman does Well, you can take you can take that stuff. You can borrow that stuff I mean, look at the bears. Look at the bears. You can build bar that stuff without And you could leave out the bad stuff. You know, I take that I take that too. I take that ooh that part Yeah, I don't want no pieces of that So you can do that like and the Ravens have always been a team that can't can run the ball That was both before Greg Roman and it'll be after Greg Roman too. That's not a shot at Greg Roman But that's just who the Ravens been they've been running team always. I mean they did have had some years Here and there with ugly especially like last year, but Overall, they've been pretty successful at running the ball So I wouldn't expect that to change but I know as far as passing the ball That's where there's been the biggest hiccups and mistakes and just been bad But think about this all fans of coordinator changes. Okay, cool You still got the same GM you still got the same head coach You already know how they are and you know who they are What would change from them if they got a new offensive coordinator Would they all of a sudden be like, all right, we by the place real emphasis on the wire receivers We buy the place real emphasis on this passing game. Do you think you would really change? I don't I really don't Because deep that's not even that that's just who the Ravens have been Ravens they never been that team that put that emphasis on a passing game like that and again You gotta say gotta say this out loud cuz I know a lot of people that they try to take stuff and run with it Oh, they try to think in these extremes Well, it's like I if you say that the Ravens need to up the passing game They need to put more emphasis on it and more emphasis on receivers and stuff that he'd be like Oh, what about the run game? No, it's not saying that you get rid of the run game No, you still want to be able to run the ball But you just want to be able to do both and do both well You want to be able to do both and do a good job at both It's like on defense you don't want to have this just this amazing run defense But your passing defense is garbage. No, you want to be able to do both and do both well Same way with offense Same with all with offense because again with with with with the comparisons and stuff a lot of Ravens fan If you mentioned something on defense, though If you talk about something on defense the way that you talk about it on offense a lot of Ravens fans for defense They'll understand it. Oh, yeah. Yeah for defense. Okay, we get it Yeah, we want to have the best of the best players at this position that position that position We want to have all these playmakers here there everywhere. Yeah. Oh, we want to be able to stop the run We want to be able to stop the pass we want to be able to do both of it We want to be able to rush to pass her as well We want to be able to tackle well We want to be able to do all these things well on defense and we want to have the best of the best players at all these positions But then when you have that conversation with them on offense It's crickets Silence It's all no, no, we don't need it. Oh How can we afford to pay that? Oh Lamar should take a home down discount because we ain't gonna be able to But you see what I'm saying So, yeah, hey Greg Roman, I hope it goes well Because the weather he gets that head coaching job, but he get a head coaching job in NFL So I don't expect him to be with the Ravens next year And I don't expect it to be like any nasty breakup or anything like that. No, it's contract expiring Like hey, we wish you well all that on your future and that was thanks for everything you did I expect him to get one of those But he's gonna get another job and that's great for him. It's great for him But it's it's probably been time with the Ravens again like always say Greg Roman Excellent introductory offensive coordinator for a young quarterback excellent introductory offensive coordinator But it just it peaks Lamar been talking about all season. Hey, we don't want to peak too soon His offense has peaked years ago It's peaked years ago and It's it just hasn't been going anywhere. We haven't seen these these significant Advancements with the Ravens offense It's just we haven't seen it. We see no small stuff here and there, but it's like really Yeah, it's not enough so I hope Greg Roman gets a job. Whatever. I mean he gonna get one regardless. He gonna get a job somewhere But again my expectations for the Ravens and their offense and their philosophy and their values and stuff That doesn't really change for me
