Note that the linemen have been raving on the new schemes saying they are easier for the OL to play well in. I suspect (but have no proof yet) that this refers in part to shifting away from zone blocking to more of an Angle scheme as zone is one of the most difficult line schemes and favors smaller linemen while Angle is simpler and favors bigger linemen. Also possible is more of a traditional Gap scheme.
Taylor has mentioned Gary Kubiak's west coast offense a few different times this offseason so if he plans to run something similar it will be heavy zone blocking and running alot of the outside stretch.
