Burrow, perhaps being the most successful overall of all of the players brought in, will be leading this culture.  

YES!!!!

1000x THIS!!

It's very clear the kind of culture that Zac is trying build here. And you're 100% correct. That going to matter as much as anything else. We want guys who don't accept losing. That starts at the top. And they showed that they don't accept losing when kept who they kept and cut who they cut. I like Dre K as a person. And I like Andy. But they weren't getting the job done. 

The message has been sent, and it has been received as acknowledged by Jesse Bates and Carlos. If your performance inhibits this team from winning, we will find a replacement for you. That's why this is a NEW DAY.
