An elite culture can't create elite players per se, but they get close to playing at an elite level. If that makes any sense.

I think Zac is trying to build that kind of culture here. Hence all the former team captains we drafted, and the free agents with playoff experience. 

I agree, the culture of a franchise is huge!

I look at Seattle for inspiration. Before the 2010s they were much like us. Then, their culture changed with Russell Wilson, Richard Sherman and others. They created the 12th man phenomenon and really encouraged fan participation to a whole new degree. The city rallied around the new culture and they are still benefitting today. Culture is massively important to a teams success.
