The Baltimore Ravens’ offensive performance on Saturday has come under fire from one of the team’s former wide receivers, Steve Smith.
For the second year in a row, Baltimore had the No. 1 scoring offense in the NFL under quarterback Lamar Jackson and offensive coordinator Greg Roman, but they also fell flat in the playoffs for the 2nd-straight playoffs as well.
After losing 17-3 to the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Divisional Playoffs, the WR turned NFL Network analyst criticized Baltimore’s passing scheme and Roman’s route combinations.
“Greg Roman is a fantastic coordinator. However, that fantastic coordinator needs to start looking for a job somewhere else, because I believe that his time has expired on this offense here,” Smith said. “You want Lamar Jackson to continue to be a stellar quarterback, an MVP-type of quarterback, you have to implement a second notch or a third-level of the passing game that makes it a little bit more complicated.”
Jackson completed 14-of-24 passes for 162 yards and would leave the game for god after being placed in the concussion protocol.
