1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: So, uh, Jim Trusby, Wall Street Journal, Um So, I

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: guess talk about the challenges and preparing for the Jets. Yeah,

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: they you know, the Jets are versus the team they

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: do a lot with their different blitz packages and different fronts.

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: Um So, I mean there's a lot that you've got

6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: to look at. And you know, being the first game,

7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: you've got a whole season to watch, and so you

8
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: see all the different things that that they did last year,

9
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: You watch the preseason, You try to get as prepared

10
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: as you can for the stuff that they do. But

11
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: I mean they are versatile, They do a lot of

12
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: different things. Um, up front, end, in the back end.

13
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: Is it tough because it's the first game to play

14
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: a team that's a little bit tricky on defense. Yeah,

15
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: I mean I wouldn't say it's tough. It's just you

16
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: just got a you got a lot to look at,

17
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: You've got a lot to prepare for, and um, you

18
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: don't know what their personality is gonna be. I think

19
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: that's if there's gonna be something that's tough about it,

20
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: that's that's the big thing is, Um you know, you

21
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: don't know what they're gonna be this year and so

22
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: you can only you can you only see so much

23
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: during the preseason. Um. So, I mean I think that's

24
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: the biggest thing is you've got a lot that a

25
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: lot to watch, a lot to prepare for, and you

26
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: don't know what you're gonna get and and what's your

27
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: experience in terms of the games you've played against the Jets?

28
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: Like what what if? What have you seen? Um? Well,

29
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: when I played against him, it was you know, a

30
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: different head coach, different coordinator and so um no, uh

31
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: it was obviously a little bit different. But you know,

32
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: they're a really good team up front, They've got guys

33
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: in the back end that can play really well. They

34
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: have one of the you know, the top corners with

35
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: Revis and so, um, you know, he's gotta be prepared

36
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: for the different stuff that through about you now is

37
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: that you know with Revus Obviously a few years ago

38
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: a lot was made of you know, the Revus Island thing.

39
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: As a quarterback, do you not go in with the

40
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: mindset I am going to avoid this side of the field.

41
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: Unfortunately for we've got you know, a j Green and

42
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: we um, you know, we we feel like, uh, we

43
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: gotta trust our guys to win and so, um, you know,

44
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: it's one of those things you go in obviously depending

45
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: on certain plays and different reads and different things. But

46
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,839
Speaker 1: um president, when we we gotta we trust our guys

47
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: to win again against you know, whoever's out there. And

48
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: so how so, how has the Bengals offense looked this

49
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: so far in preseason? Yeah? We feel confident with what

50
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: we have. You know, I think that's the um something

51
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: big for us is, you know, we've got to get

52
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: into a rhythm and umho, I think we've we've shown

53
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: that through the preseason. Now it's time to do it

54
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: when it when it counts. So you know, obviously the

55
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: last season didn't end so great when you got hurt.

56
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: How's that? How's the thumb rehabing all that is? Are

57
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: you completely undercent? Yeah, I'm I've got no set back

58
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: from the phone. And um so what what is your

59
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 1: what is your expectation for the season. Yeah, we like

60
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: to have a good year. I think you know everybody's

61
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 1: saying that right now, but I think with you know,

62
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: with a team that we have, we've got high expectations

63
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: for ourselves. So we expect to play well. And um

64
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: it starts on Sunday. Um the final thing for me.

65
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: I guess, um, you know, you guys are one of

66
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: the few teams that have made the playoffs five consecutive years,

67
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: I believe, M. Do you feel sometimes that you guys

68
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,399
Speaker 1: are a little underrated in that in that respect where

69
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: you know, people talk about the New England's and the Denver's,

70
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: but sometimes, you know, don't really talk about the Cincinnatis.

71
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: I mean, that's one thing that we're not we're not

72
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: worried about. I mean for us, it's especially right now,

73
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: our focuses, you know, the first game of the year,

74
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: and um, that's all you can worry about is what

75
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: you're doing right now, and so um, you know we're

76
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: not We're not worried about any of that other stuff.

77
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: We're trying to do whatever we can to win this week.
