Ravens | Baltimore attempting to rebuild offense
Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is expected to be the focal point of an offense that is undergoing a ‘reimagining,’ according to offensive coordinator Greg Roman. ‘We’re really looking at this as a completely new beginning as if we were a new staff. I think we have run an offense here that has been kind of morphed over the years, and we really want to start fresh, start new, and (with) everything from our language, our formations, how we do everything, rebuild the thing from the ground up. That’s one angle. The other angle is really, how do we want to move forward with Lamar Jackson? He’s a unique player with a unique skill set, so let’s build an offense that really accommodates that, as opposed to try to fit him into something that other people had once done,’ Roman told The Athletic.
