I must say, the more I read about Lazor's ideas and things that he says, the more I'm becoming a fan. (him referring to the offense as potentially powerful and dynamic also helps)  Despite the harsh reality that Mike and Marv still remain in charge, the fact that the two key detriments to offensive production were both eliminated in the same season. (Zampeese and Alexander)  

A few things have really endeared me to Lazor.....he basically called out Merv about picking which personnel to play....he made it a mission to settle the QB down....when he speaks, it's straight forward, has real info instead of vague "isms" and cliches.....and then it seems he told Bach to eff off and called his own blocking scheme.....which has all culminated in the long awaited shitcanning of the Piano Man.  If he never does another positive thing in Cincy, he'll always have a spot in my heart.
