The changes are expected. Players are fighting for their spot on the team/career because the new regime isn't partial to anyone. I have absolutely no doubt this change, taken all by itself, translates into a better football team when the season begins.

I'm waiting to see what else changes. Draft strategy and talent procurement is the kicker IMO. People are taking a lot about drafting QBs. I'll be surprised if we draft on next month...honestly. Our current mix has two guys w/ significant starting experience and a third looking to get his big opportunity. I just read a 2nd hand comment on the team blog about Brennan looking better at his workouts in AZ than any of the rookie QB class. I believe it.

Right now it's still prudent to be pessimistic about the season. We're woefully short on talent on the offensive side of the ball and w/ a change in defensive scheme who knows whether the defense gets better or worse overall. After the draft if Shanny/Allen have found a way to 1) bring in top young talent at LT, RT and RB and 2) rounded out the personnel on defense at LB, DL and FS through acquiring draft picks or relatively young players I think we have every reason to believe this FO has a very sound strategy for success.
