Sounds like ZT won the players over.
Yeah, have seen a lot of players use the word 'excited' when talking about Taylor and his message. AJ said his excitement level was like the "first day of school'.
Really is great to see them so pumped up and to see how they seem to be embracing Taylor and his vision for the team.

I always hated the first day of school.

Sounds like we are going to get a little bit of that culture change most of us want to see. The words of the players werent them being nice, they already feel a massive difference and energy. This is what I was hoping for. So far so good.

Second, I would have died laughing if Taylor would have said "Let's go!" and clapped as he left.

I wondered about the "lights" being brought up a lot but u know, maybe working under/practicing under bright lights in the building and on the field will make playing under the bright lights of primetime less daunting.
ZT may be on to something.

The lighting thing is just part of changing the tone of the team. ZT seems to be emphasizing crisp, higher energy, faster paced. He also seems to be very hands on especially on offense. This will be interesting as one of the big dings on Marvin was the slower, lower energy and to be honest not crisp tone.

Ross had a great offseason last year... I'm going to need to see it on the field in games before I get too excited one way or another.

In the *real* NFL you have to actually play games first, and win them! Then you are a contender.

If Lou watched any film of last year which of course he did, he is going to be playing more press man to man.
Fits the strength of the Corners and Will Jax and Dre already are buying in it seems.
So early, but these are great things to hear early.
