The Baltimore Ravens have plenty of questions to answer as they go through a pivotal 2022 offseason. They will have to improve their team if they want to keep up with the rest of the NFL, which is evolving at a rapid rate.
On Monday, head coach John Harbaugh had his end of season press conference and answered a plethora of different questions about many different topics. One that came up multiple times was the status of Greg Roman with the team. Harbaugh said that nothing is a lock in life, but that the plan is for Roman to be back and that he’s excited about it.
“I mean, nothing is a lock. Nothing is a lock in life, to use that term, but I’m excited about it. I plan on [offensive coordinator] Greg [Roman] being back. I believe Greg plans on being back, but it’s still early. We’re only three weeks past the season. I know things happen fast for sure, just like you said, but that’s the plan, and I’m excited about that.
Harbaugh also talked about the vision for the offense and why the team fell short in 2021 on that side of the ball.
“Offensively, we’ve done some pretty darn good things here over the past three years offensively. I think we have a really good vision and understanding of what we want to build offensively, the players we want to build around and what we need to do it. We came up short this year in a lot of ways. If you look at it and you take a step back, it’s kind of interesting what we did. We gained a lot of yards, but we didn’t do a good enough job of turning yards into points – that’s really what it boiled down to.”
Roman has been a key contention point for many for the past year, as his offensive units have been great in some aspects, but struggled mightily in others. It sounds like Roman will get another chance to lead the Ravens offense, but if things go south to begin the year on that side of the ball early in the 2022 season then there could be a change. As Harbaugh said, nothing is a lock in life.
