Hue --> Zampsese
Jones --> Lafell
Eifert for x games --> Kroft

are non-factors and/or upgrades but:


Bryant --> Wheaton
Miller --> Green

are notable drop-offs, that's all.  Oh, plus we are going from a 2nd place schedule to a 1st place one and the Steelers are going from a 1st place to a 2nd...might not be a factor, though.  We shall see!

EDIT:  I forgot to point out in my earlier post that we are hoping/predicting no drop-off from Hue to Zampese.  Can we  honestly say we wouldn't be predicting a huge loss if the Steelers went from Haley to Randy Ficthner as their OC?  Just saying.

Good question but i would say no for a few reasons

1. Hue was OC for two years, Haley longer so Haley would have more of a impact lose
2. Zampese has coached Dalton all his years, Ficthner 3 years i believe as QB coach
3. Zampese is a bit more seasoned in the NFL and been with Cincy longer than Ficthner has with Pitt
