Greenseed4 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Greg Roman - C - Bills Bills hired Greg Roman as their offensive coordinator. It's a lateral move for Roman, who spent the last four seasons in charge of the 49ers' offense. During that time, he went to three NFC Championship Games and one Super Bowl, although the offense ranked 20th, 24th, 11th and 26th in total offense. Colin Kaepernick also regressed in 2014. Roman will have a ton of responsibility as the OC for exclusively defensive-minded head coach Rex Ryan, but also has his work cut out for him with E.J. Manuel leading the Bills' horrid quarterback situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRy56 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Rex, Roman, and Schwartz? Damn. Bright side is that they still only have EJ Manuel and will sit at 8-8/9-7 until they change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCarl40 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Say what you will, but this is actually a great pairing for Rex. While it's better than Tony Sparano, the guy took a loaded SF offense and saw it get worse. I don't see this as the big OC hire that Rex needs. This is just another friend of his who he hired and can throw under the bus in a few seasons when Manuel is still awful and the Bills are tanking.

Beerfish Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Roman is the cause of the Bills sucking. Just say it right now. Not Rex's fault he is not being given 2 hof corners, but it is the OC's fault he has Manuel at QB. Bills just need to learn this Rexapologist mantra early.

Warfish Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Wait - Rex didn't want Marty?????? Isn't Marty still under contract, and thus the Jets could Veto any request for interview for a side-ways move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LouisvilleSlugger25 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Say what you will, but this is actually a great pairing for Rex. Right, an OC that couldn't get his offense to perform well enough to win a SB despite having a top 3 defense every year. Not to mention a young QB regressing under the watchful eye of Roman. Sounds familiar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I'm sure Rex will delegate responsibility with the utmost efficiency and not get in his sh*t about running the ball 3,745 times per game at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRL Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I don't know what happened in SF this year but Roman took a HUGE step back. Think about the offensive weapons he had: Kaepernick Gore Hyde Davis Crabtree Boldin Johnson And they were awful. At one point I wanted him to be a Jet HC candidate but something went terribly wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought his use of extra linemen and unbalanced formations was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe one of the requirements for Rex Ryan superbowl trophy collection domination was in fact top tier coordinators on both sides of the ball. Now he just needs a top 10 QB, weaponz, 1st round picks at every position on defense, dominate offensive line, running backs, etc..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention a young QB regressing under the watchful eye of Roman. Sounds familiar? Kaep is a young QB that can single-handedly win or lose games. What I saw from the team perspective, was a commitment to the OL, commitment to the running game (Gore, Hunter, Lattimore...and they still drafted Carlos Hyde), and signing a wealth of WRs (Boldin, Crabtree, Stevie Johnson, Brandon Lloyd...and they were still drafting WRs). Philosophy wise, Ryan just got a coordinator who's going to be focused on the run, first and foremost. That fits that team well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dierking Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Rex- Greg, you are aware of the most ingenious invention in football over the last 10 years right? Greg- You mean instant replay, and the challenge rule, right? Rex- No, no no! That is just one of those superfluous things that is there to distract head coaches, like when to use a time out. I am talking the WILDCAT! It is freaking amazing. Watch this video of what Tim Tebow and what he did to my defense. Isn't that something? Greg- You do know that you had Eric Smith and Jim Leonard as your safeties, right? Rex- I know, I know. They were brilliant. Imagine how they could have out schemed me? We will need more of this wildcat thing. Friggin Sparano and Marty never got it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munchmemory Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Why not wait until Sparano is officially out of consideration for the Raider's job? Especially with Manuel, he'd work wonders with more of his offense that has still not been seen in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetrider Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I'd ship Marty to the moon in a ziploc bag in a rocket booster if I could. Until it's confirmed he's off Jets' payroll the OC hire is a major concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about the offensive weapons he had: Kaepernick Gore Hyde Davis Crabtree Boldin Johnson And they were awful. At one point I wanted him to be a Jet HC candidate but something went terribly wrong What weapons? Kaepernick is a mediocre one-read QB. Gore was a fantastic RB, future hall of famer. 'was' being the operative word. He is done. Hyde is a rookie, looked really good but still learning. Vernon Davis had the worst season of his career. Crabtree hasn't been the same player since coming back from his achilles tear. He also dropped a million passes this year Boldin is a stud. I'll give you that one. Johnson and Lloyd hardly saw the field The wheels came off once defenses adjusted to the gimmicky pistol offense that carried them to the Superbowl. Kaepernick's lack of improvement is what salted away their hopes of being a dominant team, not sure if that regression can be attributed entirely to Greg Roman.
