| Bills | Front office forced Greg Roman's ouster |
Fri, 16 Sep 2016 13:15:00 -0700
Updating a previous report, the Buffalo Bills' front office "leaned" on head coach Rex Ryan to make a significant change in the wake of the team's 37-31 loss in Week 2 to the New York Jets, leading to the dismissal of former offensive coordinator Greg Roman on Friday, Sept. 16.
Fantasy Tip: Obviously, Ryan was not going to part with his brother, Rob, for the shortcomings of the defense, so he turned to Roman instead. New offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn should be expected to maintain the same run-heavy philosophy Roman employed, but the Bills are facing an uphill battle if they hope to avoid a winless September with the Arizona Cardinals and New England Patriots next on the schedule.

| Bills | Greg Roman wants to build up front |
Thu, 29 Jan 2015 11:30:55 -0800
Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Greg Roman wants to start building the 2015 offense with more mobile offensive linemen as opposed to the larger, less agile players from last season. Roman said he feels they do have a good nucleus of talent on the roster. They will also need better play from C Eric Wood, OT Cordy Glenn and OT Seantrel Henderson, in the opinion of The Buffalo News' Jay Skurski.

| Bills | Greg Roman agrees to become Bills' OC |
Mon, 12 Jan 2015 10:45:44 -0800
San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman has agreed to become the Buffalo Bills new offensive coordinator, according to a source. Roman is expected to travel to Buffalo Monday, Jan. 12, and sign a contract.
Fantasy Tip: Roman's hire should help the fantasy value of the running backs on the Bills roster since he liked the use the running game with the 49ers. Fred Jackson appears to be the top running back for the team entering next season since C.J. Spiller will be an unrestricted free-agent this offseason. Jackson could be a No. 2 running back in fantasy drafts next season if he wins the starting job.

| 49ers | OC promising new-look offense |
Wed, 18 Jun 2014 15:50:11 -0700
San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman says his offense will be different in 2014. "Starting with the beginning of the offseason, we as the offensive staff, after three years here, it's time to clean out the garage type of thing." said Roman. "We went through everything we've done and really stripped it back down to it most element, basic parts and start over at square one." The offense has added WRs Brandon Lloyd, Bruce Ellington and Stevie Johnson.
Fantasy Tip: We'll have a better picture of the new-look offense next month when training camp begins. But the presence of far more healthy wide receivers could make SF a more pass-happy offense.

Mon, 04 Feb 2013 07:05:49 -0800
San Francisco 49ers players were questioning offensive coordinator Greg Roman's playcalling late in Super Bowl XLVII. The team threw the ball during their final three offensive plays of the game. "As a player, all I could think of was maybe running a different play, but that's just a player mentality," TE Vernon Davis said. "Greg Roman, he called the shots. We gotta go with it and respect his calls. He believed in it, we believed in it, but it just didn't work." FS Donte Whitner added, "I'm a little surprised. But it's coach's call. Like anything, if it works, you're a genius. If it doesn't, you messed up."

Wed, 30 Jan 2013 06:36:56 -0800
San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh believes offensive coordinator Greg Roman is changing the way people around the league are thinking about offensive football. Roman has effectively combined aspects of the read-option that QB Colin Kaepernick runs out of the pistol formation without losing the power game with fullbacks and tight ends that the team likes to run. "I think Greg Roman has done a job that is revolutionary in football," Harbaugh said. "I think the way he has mixed the trap, the power, the wham plays, into the pistol offense and into our conventional offense has been revolutionary in many ways."

| 49ers | Benefit when opponents focus on Vernon Davis |
Mon, 29 Oct 2012 10:13:18 -0700
According to San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman, three opponents this year have taken "drastic measures" to make sure TE Vernon Davis had quiet games. The three teams intent on minimizing Davis were the New York Jets, New York Giants and Seattle Seahawks. In those three games, Davis was targeted seven times and he caught five passes for 65 yards. TE Delanie Walker has been a beneficiary of coverages skewed to stop Davis; his biggest games have come against the Jets and Seahawks. RB Frank Gore ran for 131 yards and averaged 8.2 yards a carry when the Seahawks focused on stopping Davis. The Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco's Week 8 opponent, will keep an eye on Davis; however, they likely will not do anything "drastic" to keep Davis out of the game.

It's not like every play was a blitz, but most of them were."
