If I am drifting at an outflow or something I just keep the line off the roller and let it feed out through my fingers. I’m doing this with the rod held almost verticle so when I get a take I lower the rod to just about horizontal engage the line on the roller and setup when it comes tight to the fish.

Otherwise if I am just doing a slow retrieve and get a take I just lower the rod from nearly verticle to horizontal and wait for the line to tighter and set the hook. No need to take the line off the roller in this situation.
