Chargers OC Greg Roman, two former Ravens’ players were key vs. Raiders in week 1

In week 2, the Baltimore Ravens can use the strategy of Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Greg Roman to attack the Las Vegas Raiders defense.



Last weekend, the Raiders surrendered 176 total rushing yards to the Chargers, who relied on running backs Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins. Roman, Edwards, and Dobbins were all formerly with the Ravens and worked as key components in bringing quarterback Lamar Jackson’s potential to fruition.

Unlike Roman, Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken prefers to throw the football, and his 41 pass play installment did not pan out against the Kansas City Chiefs in week 1. The Ravens have proven in recent history to be a prolific team when they commit to running the ball but often defer to the passing attack.

After parting ways with Roman, the Ravens had their best offensive season in a long time in 2023. However, unlike the Chargers, the Ravens have begun the 2024 regular season in the loss column, and they cannot afford an upset in week 2.
