So yeah...this lends credence to what you're saying. Maybe this change in run scheme will lead to big things from here out.

Main question is "why did it take this long"? But I'm happy they've changed something.

I'm going to assume it's because that's what Zampese wanted, and for the team to actually change from that took time for the players to learn it and the coaches comfortable running it in actual games. I hope that's what it is at least.
