Changing the culture? Puke. I'm not a fan of the empty rhetoric that Pioli and company are so familiar with (see: right 53, it's a process).

Wins are only a shadow of the Mountain. WHen the mountain is higher, the shadow grows.
The most important things (the Mountain) are the basics of football - time of possesion, line of scrimmage, pressure on the QB, 1st downs, turnovers. The occaisional big play is nice too, if you have some playmakers.
You cannot magically make the shadow grow, you must make the mountain bigger.
That is my opnion...As far as changing the culture, that is what Pioli is trying to do...I agree it is rhetorical...But if it works, he will be a genius. If not....
