Greg Roman’s job with Baltimore Ravens safe despite struggles, drama

Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman has been on the receiving end of big-time criticism as that side of the ball continues to struggle with former NFL MVP Lamar Jackson sidelined.

Baltimore fell to the Cleveland Browns on the road Saturday afternoon, scoring all of three points in the process. The team has totaled 29 points over the past three games, including 19 points in the two outings Jackson has been sidelined.

After a tremendous 7-3 start to the season, Baltimore heads into Week 16 at 9-5 and likely looking at nothing more than a wild-card spot in the AFC.

Following their most-recent loss, edge rusher Tyus Bowser posted a video on Instagram that depicted “fire Greg Roman” signs on the ground.

During his presser with reporters on Monday, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh discussed Roman’s job security as well as Bowser’s social media activity.

“We’re not getting into all that. You guys can talk about all that, I respect that. I love the fans talking about everything they can talk about. We’re together. We’re a team. We’re spending all of our time getting ready for the Atlanta Falcons with every ounce of energy and fiber we’ve got.

"With a bunch of very, very good people at what they do who understand everything about our team better than anybody else possibly could. So all that other stuff, we don’t have time for that.”

As for Bowser, Harbaugh noted that the reserve pass rusher had a sit-down meeting with both himself and Roman.

“We talked about it. Ask Tyus about it, he’ll tell ya. He was great about it when I talked to him. I think he talked to Greg about it,” Harbaugh said. “You find out there’s really not much there in terms of what people are thinking.”

It’s not a coincidence that Baltimore’s struggles on offense have coincided with Jackson being sidelined. The Pro Bowl quarterback suffered a PCL injury back in Week 13 and has been forced to miss each of the past two games. Even then, there’s some growing concerns over Roman’s performance as the Ravens’ play-caller.
