Taylor was introduced at a press conference on Tuesday and questions about McVay were part of the program.Taylor said McVay was an example of a coach “doing it the right way” and that he learned a lot from his former boss over the last two years. He also said he’ll fail if he tries to be McVay instead of doing “the best I can my way.”“Sean is a very dynamic personality,” Taylor said, via ESPN.com. “He walks in front of a room and he energizes that room. And that’s Sean’s personality. I’m a little more reserved. … So I’m not going to try to be Sean. Sean is spectacular in his own way and I’m going to do it the way I feel most comfortable with and has got me to this point.”One thing Taylor said he does hope to emulate about McVay is building a coaching staff where everyone feels valued and able to express their ideas. Taylor said he wants to bring in “outside-the-box thinkers” to accomplish that task and that process will be first up on his to-do list with the Bengals.

Alex Erickson Jersey Limited , allowing for the coach or the team (in theory or, as happened a year ago, in practice) to pull the plug before pen is put to paper.The NFL decided not to change the rule in the aftermath of last year’s Josh McDaniels debacle. The fact that two more teams wandered to the wrong side of it this year make an official change to the rule even more necessary.There’s no good reason to keep the current procedure in place
Billy Price Jersey , if teams aren’t going to follow it — and if the league isn’t going to do anything about it.
