They softened up the blitz but they were in no way playing soft coverage, lamar was beating underneath coverage with touch passes and beating top down coverage with velocity, and breaking down the defense by extending, nothing about that defense looked soft other than the 4 man rush which was still harassing him the whole time. For him to respond like that was really encouraging, and with Roman, I think he’s the best option for now as long as we have a quality qb coach for him in James urban, the most important thing for Roman is to take cues from lamar and urban and adjust his playbook accordingly, lamar will never be a 40+ dropback qb, run heavy is just necessary.
And hopefully Roman uses these TEs until their goddamn legs fall off, because they’re gonna be the key to this passing game
