Huge news for the Los Angeles Chargers: Greg Roman, a former offensive coordinator for the 49ers and Ravens, is anticipated to join Jim Harbaugh’s staff with the Bolts, according to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Roman has a strong resume that includes playing for a number of elite offenses, such as the 49ers under Jim Harbaugh, the Baltimore Ravens in 2019, and others. The two have a tremendous deal of familiarity because they were both 49ers teammates under Harbaugh. With the goal of opening up the passing game, Roman, an offensive thinker that prioritizes runs, employs the power run scheme. Regarding his track record, he’s called offenses with quarterbacks who range from average to competent passers (at best) – nowhere near the caliber of Justin Herbert. His exact position with the Bolts is yet unknown. His understanding of the run game should give the Bolts’ attack, which was previously straightforward, a boost of intricacy, adaptability, and explosiveness.
Additionally, if Austin Ekeler is gone in free agency, this virtually guarantees that the Bolts will spend a really early draft selection on a running back, maybe Blake Corum of Michigan. Any offensive ideals that Roman wants to establish in the team will require a dynamic running back. This is a significant gain for the Chargers in any case.
