<v Speaker 1>So, uh, Jim Trusby, Wall Street Journal, Um So, I

0:00:03.760 --> 0:00:08.680
<v Speaker 1>guess talk about the challenges and preparing for the Jets. Yeah,

0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:11.680
<v Speaker 1>they you know, the Jets are versus the team they

0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:14.400
<v Speaker 1>do a lot with their different blitz packages and different fronts.

0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:17.279
<v Speaker 1>Um So, I mean there's a lot that you've got

0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:19.280
<v Speaker 1>to look at. And you know, being the first game,

0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:21.599
<v Speaker 1>you've got a whole season to watch, and so you

0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:23.680
<v Speaker 1>see all the different things that that they did last year,

0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:26.480
<v Speaker 1>You watch the preseason, You try to get as prepared

0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:29.240
<v Speaker 1>as you can for the stuff that they do. But

0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:31.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean they are versatile, They do a lot of

0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:34.159
<v Speaker 1>different things. Um, up front, end, in the back end.

0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Is it tough because it's the first game to play

0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:40.320
<v Speaker 1>a team that's a little bit tricky on defense. Yeah,

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:42.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean I wouldn't say it's tough. It's just you

0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 1>just got a you got a lot to look at,

0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:48.199
<v Speaker 1>You've got a lot to prepare for, and um, you

0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 1>don't know what their personality is gonna be. I think

0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 1>that's if there's gonna be something that's tough about it,

0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:55.280
<v Speaker 1>that's that's the big thing is, Um you know, you

0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:57.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know what they're gonna be this year and so

0:00:57.240 --> 0:00:58.960
<v Speaker 1>you can only you can you only see so much

0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:02.360
<v Speaker 1>during the preseason. Um. So, I mean I think that's

0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:04.040
<v Speaker 1>the biggest thing is you've got a lot that a

0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:06.560
<v Speaker 1>lot to watch, a lot to prepare for, and you

0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:08.679
<v Speaker 1>don't know what you're gonna get and and what's your

0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 1>experience in terms of the games you've played against the Jets?

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Like what what if? What have you seen? Um? Well,

0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:18.760
<v Speaker 1>when I played against him, it was you know, a

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:24.320
<v Speaker 1>different head coach, different coordinator and so um no, uh

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 1>it was obviously a little bit different. But you know,

0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 1>they're a really good team up front, They've got guys

0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:31.760
<v Speaker 1>in the back end that can play really well. They

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 1>have one of the you know, the top corners with

0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Revis and so, um, you know, he's gotta be prepared

0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 1>for the different stuff that through about you now is

0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 1>that you know with Revus Obviously a few years ago

0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot was made of you know, the Revus Island thing.

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 1>As a quarterback, do you not go in with the

0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 1>mindset I am going to avoid this side of the field.

0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Unfortunately for we've got you know, a j Green and

0:01:56.760 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 1>we um, you know, we we feel like, uh, we

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:04.360
<v Speaker 1>gotta trust our guys to win and so, um, you know,

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 1>it's one of those things you go in obviously depending

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 1>on certain plays and different reads and different things. But

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:12.839
<v Speaker 1>um president, when we we gotta we trust our guys

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:16.000
<v Speaker 1>to win again against you know, whoever's out there. And

0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:19.639
<v Speaker 1>so how so, how has the Bengals offense looked this

0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 1>so far in preseason? Yeah? We feel confident with what

0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:27.120
<v Speaker 1>we have. You know, I think that's the um something

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:28.919
<v Speaker 1>big for us is, you know, we've got to get

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 1>into a rhythm and umho, I think we've we've shown

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:35.320
<v Speaker 1>that through the preseason. Now it's time to do it

0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:38.359
<v Speaker 1>when it when it counts. So you know, obviously the

0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:42.919
<v Speaker 1>last season didn't end so great when you got hurt.

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:45.800
<v Speaker 1>How's that? How's the thumb rehabing all that is? Are

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:51.200
<v Speaker 1>you completely undercent? Yeah, I'm I've got no set back

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:55.360
<v Speaker 1>from the phone. And um so what what is your

0:02:55.520 --> 0:03:00.040
<v Speaker 1>what is your expectation for the season. Yeah, we like

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 1>to have a good year. I think you know everybody's

0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:06.519
<v Speaker 1>saying that right now, but I think with you know,

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 1>with a team that we have, we've got high expectations

0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:11.639
<v Speaker 1>for ourselves. So we expect to play well. And um

0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 1>it starts on Sunday. Um the final thing for me.

0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.760
<v Speaker 1>I guess, um, you know, you guys are one of

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:22.600
<v Speaker 1>the few teams that have made the playoffs five consecutive years,

0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:25.600
<v Speaker 1>I believe, M. Do you feel sometimes that you guys

0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:28.399
<v Speaker 1>are a little underrated in that in that respect where

0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:31.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, people talk about the New England's and the Denver's,

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 1>but sometimes, you know, don't really talk about the Cincinnatis.

0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:39.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's one thing that we're not we're not

0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 1>worried about. I mean for us, it's especially right now,

0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 1>our focuses, you know, the first game of the year,

0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.480
<v Speaker 1>and um, that's all you can worry about is what

0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 1>you're doing right now, and so um, you know we're

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.360
<v Speaker 1>not We're not worried about any of that other stuff.

0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:54.960
<v Speaker 1>We're trying to do whatever we can to win this week.
