It is not easy to change players who prefer the previous regime over the current regime.

Zak used the first year to analyze the personnel. The second year was used to make the first round of changes.
Geno, Ross, Dunlap, Jackson III and AJ will not be around next year. That saves at least over 50 mil in contracts.
They will use that money to sign key free agents like a OG, OT, DE's or CB's.

I see positive things happening for this team.

Next year we will have Reader, Waynes, Uzomah back from injuries.
I think Adenji and Spain played well at Tackles today.
We could have Jonah Williams to RT and have Adenji stay at LT with Spain RG, Jordan LG Hopkins C.
If we get a high draft pick I would select Micah Parsons to play M-LB.

If next year at the break we do not see a big improvement than a coaching change may be needed.

What's this "culture" you are talking about? "Acceptance of losing while thinking good thoughts about yourself" is not a culture worth waiting for. The veteran player who are use to winning are leaving or wanting out. Who could blame them? 4 wins in 25 games is horrifically bad, especially when starting with a team that was much better than that.

There've been no accomplishments by Taylor and his pals. Losing is not an accomplishment. Having the worst record in Bengals history is not an accomplishment. Some might count sucking so bad too get the #1 pick as an accomplishment, but not people who expect to win.

Dave Shula looks like a genius compared to this Taylor fellow.
