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.

We're happy that we wait until they are essentially eliminated from the playoffs to adapt?  I know that isn't what you meant, but it just pisses me off even more.  I have said forever that the players have the talent.  They didn't forget how to play, the Bengals just lost all of their quality coaches and the crap that was left is exposed for what they are.
