Bengals make changes to strength and conditioning staff under Zac Taylor

After announcing four moves along the coaching staff Thursday, the Cincinnati Bengals made a smaller change in a slightly different area.

The change comes to the strength and conditioning staff, where Chip Morton is out and Joey Boese is in:

The Bengals are planning to hire Illinois strength coach Joey Boese to their strength and conditioning staff, per source. He worked with Zac Taylor at Texas A&M previously.

More Bengals' staffing changes: Strength and conditioning coach Chip Morton and assistant strength and conditioning coach Jeff Friday won't be staying on Zac Taylor's staff. Morton was hired in 2003 when Marvin Lewis took the job. https://t.co/GbH0WfQNzv

Big news, considering Morton joined the staff in 2003 alongside Marvin Lewis.

Like new offensive line coach Jim Turner, Boese spent time with Taylor at Texas A&M before going to Fresno State for four years.

Again, Taylor gets to pick who he wants on staff. This move represents the first big change in the player-training department in a long time and could have a big impact on player fitness and durability.
