If ZT does what he said he would be doing at his introductory presser - design the schemes on both sides of the ball around what the players excel at - that by itself will be a massive and positive change.

If ZT can just get his staff to make halftime changes and keep his foot on the gas when ahead in score. Those would be 2 drastic improvements...
The only thing I hate worse than Pittsburgh football...

The last staff made halftime adjustments, and the Bengals under Marvin Lewis never lost one single game because their offense was too conservative with a lead.

Changes in culture can go either way, up or down. It'll depend mostly on whether they win or lose. If they come right out of the gate winning game after game we'll know the culture has improved, but on the other hand if they lose game after game the culture might have changed, but in which direction?
Change for the sake of change is just change...nothing more, nothing less.

I'm concerned with Troy Blackburn. Everything I've read about Zac Taylor is impressive. He is well organized, innovative, and loves football. Management has to be on the same page. We'll know alot after the draft.
