Full disclosure, we used to host Locked on NFL together, so all of the funny jokes and the back and forth, well, it's because we've worked together for a long long time and have a good relationship.

Thursday and Friday is the new Wednesday Thursday, which means our game preview show will actually drop on Sunday. Jake Lisco will be back for that. He will be back for our show tomorrow as well, wrapping up the week where we discuss a

bunch of stuff. But make sure if you're looking for a gift this season, because I've been told I don't talk about it enough. Enter the Jungle. It's a comprehensive book. You can see it above my shoulder on YouTube. You can get it at Cincinnati Bengals book dot com, wherever books are sold season by season, a bunch of awesome photos and more. So make sure you check that out. And without further ado, let's get to my conversation with Tony Wiggins. As part of our crossover, we started with the

biggest storylines surrounding the Jaguars. My first biggest storyline is, can't get caught sleeping at the wheel if you're Jacksonville thinking everything sweet just because Joe Burrow is missing. You know, as far as I'm concerned, is coach Amarulo is still over there. He's still there, right yeah, yeah yeah. And Remo is still over there and call him plays. They still got a defensive end named Hendrickson or something like that. He's still there, right yeah.

Uh. They got a wide receiver Jamar Chase. And look, there's still a dangerous, dangerous, wounded football team. And what the Jaguars can't do is sit here and lay an egg because they have a two game lead in the AFC South. I'm very weary of games like this because it is the NFL and you can get got by anybody. The Jaguars last game of the last year was against the Tennessee Titans at home, in front of the whole country, with a playoff game at stake, and they were losing with two

minutes to go, and Josh Dobbins was the quarterback. So we know what it's like when a team that has pride, team that is used to winning, comes in wounded and you think it's okay, and then all of a sudden, the game starts to ebb and flow and it doesn't go your way. I'm weary that the Jack wash will allow that to happen. The biggest storyline for the Bengals is simple, can you be that sleeper team now that

teams overlook and can you make a playoff push without Joe Burrow? And as I say that, I can feel our listeners and viewers on the Bengal side of things cringing because a lot of them are thinking about the draft and about the off season and offseason moves. Well, the Bengals aren't thinking that way. Internally, They're thinking, all right, we've dropped three straight. We

have to respond We're still in the thick of the playoff race. We got to get a win in Jacksonville. And can they Yeah they can, Will they? Well, that's a whole nother, whole other topic. And I think the reality started to set in that it wasn't going to be and they

knew that without Joe Burrow was going to change things. But when they lost to Pittsburgh the other day, a game that they probably felt like they should have won with how turn the ball over in the red zone, then the Bengals gave it right back in the red zone and it kind of cost them, But it was a game that was there to be stolen in the division and to lose that sixteen to ten, I think they're like, oh, is this who we are now? So the biggest storyline for me is this

who the Bengals are? Or are they going to be this sneaky, feisty, scrappy team that still has Jamar Chase and is probably going to get some of their talent back that was out last week, including a T Higgins, maybe a Cam Taylor britt and they certainly have talent to be scrappy and to be a problem and to be more than just a speed bump for these teams that are clearly eyeing the top seeds in the AFC, like the Jacksonville Jaguars.

So that's the storyline is who are these Bengals. Are they going to win just a game or two the rest of the way and not really be that competitive or are they going to be competitive and be a tough out even though they don't have Joe Burrow. A lot of teams win individual games without great quarterbacks. They usually don't win those games when there's a significant drop off

and the quarterback just got hurt. So when you say a three game losing streak, I'm thinking at some point that kid's gonna get better and at some point he's going to be more serviceable, almost a Tommy DeVito type. How they upset somebody last week when everybody thought that they were done. I don't want him to wake up this week, right, I don't want things to

click this week. And when you have a defensive coordinator that can dial stuff up, when you have a running back who can carry the low, he can get twenty five carries, and when you have a receiver, all you got to do is get him the ball on quick out and he can do whatever he has to do, and you can start manufacturing first downs jacks fast to make sure that they don't get caught in that formula NFL type game where special teams and then you got a kicker who can kick it from Saint Augustine

so he can make kicks too. Those things are dangerous. And I'll say like this, a couple of years ago, Jacksonville went to Cincinnati on Thursday night. That's the whole you know, they that's the game where Urban Mine probably should have just got on the airplane and come back, should have just went back what you're doing. Jaguars were horrible and that game and that's the year Cincinnati, i believe, went to the Super Bowl and it came down

to a kick at the end of the game. And that's what that's what I'm afraid of with this, and we have to really really make sure we guard against it. Yeah, that game, it's sort of turned the goal line stand late in the second quarter, Jaguar's almost been up twenty one. Nothing in that game absolutely did It was like, what the heck is going on? Here? Are you going to wake up? And the Bengals did

and snuck out a win. But I agree with you. I think Jacksonville, we've talked a lot on Lockdown Bengals about quick starts and the importance of that. The Jaguars do not want to let the Bengals get confidence that, oh, this is going to be different. We are going to spawn where you go three and out to start the game and then you give up points on that first drive to Jake Browning. You just don't want that. You

don't want him to feel like he's in any sort of rhythm. And so I think that is important for a team that's trying to find itself in the post Burrow era. And you're right, there's a lot of time I was preparing for this just looking at the matchups, and there are some good matchups that we should get into that involve a couple of guys that you already mentioned and some that we haven't mentioned yet. And we absolutely will get into those

matchups. We always have to make sure we don't overtalk it and stay on here an hour because of how we vibe. But we won't do that to you here, the listeners. We're gonna talk more Jaguars and Bengals more. Monday Night.

Locking in here on segment two, we're gonna talk matchups between Jaguars and Bengals. James, I'll do the honors to let you go first. Well, you mentioned Trey Hendrickson and he's got ten and a half sacks this year, Trey Hendrickson. So that Cam Robinson's put on injured reserve earlier this week, and so let's dive

into that. Who's going to be tasked with stopping Trey Hendrickson, who's obviously the bengals leading sack artist at this point of the year. Walker Little, who had been playing left guard, but he is better at left tackle. A former second round pick in the same we know about twenty twenty one. Yeah, we talked about him, and well the Bengals did not pick him. Go ahead, Yeah, but they got Walker Little. They made a trade at the trade deadline for Ezra Cleveland from Minnesota to play guard, and

it turns out he's a better guard than Walker Little is. And walk a Little may or may not be a better guard a better tackle than Cam Robinson, but Walker Little is definitely a better tackle than he is a guard. So I think it'll be on him. I think it'll be on a little chipping from the tight ends, and I think they'll be smart to get the ball out of their hands very, very quickly. Yeah, I think that

that's you don't sound concerned. And usually when a top left tackle goes out of starting left tackle, it's like, oh, well, it's gonna be this guy. But and you were. There was no butts, there was no transitions. It was all Walker Little he's better at tackle, So there you go. I think that's a huge matchup though, because if this Bengals team is going to slow down the Jags offense and a big play potential offense. And the reason I say that isn't just the Jags, it's the Bengals.

The Bengals have given up big plays to every team they've played this year, it seems like, including the Steelers last week, which they had no business doing. You have to get the to Trevor Lawrence. You can't let him go off script and let him move around back there and even when someone's not opened by the extra second, so he can find Calvin Ridley deep downfield or find Christian Kirk. And so I think that matchup Trey getting to Trevor

that is huge. And if you can prevent that with Walker little and some chips from the tight end. You take it all day long. If you're Jacksonville. Mind, that's a very very good point. Mine is jackuars. The matchup that they have to watch out is them versus themselves. And I know that sounds like I'm describing Georgia or Alabama like hockey right now, Yeah

yeah, yeah, yeah yeah right. So obviously the reason I feel that way is because they have to pay attention to their opponent and not the press clippings and the lack of respect that they are getting as an eight and three football team. They went to Houston and won a game against the Texans last week where Trevor Lawrence had what I thought was his best game as a pro, and that still wasn't good enough for people to talk about Trevor Lawrence.

They talked about CJ. Stroud, who also had a really really good game.

And I just think the disrespect, which can be a good thing if harnessed and used the correct way, is it could also preoccupy if you do it the wrong way, and you could start looking past opponents and you could start playing to try to impress people instead of going out and being fundamentally sound and doing the things that you have to do, and then you find yourself in a dogfight with a team that is used to getting to the AFC Championship

Game at a minimum. Now they don't have their quarterback. Okay, we've already discussed that, and we understand that they're not the same team. And I don't believe T Jiggins and Todge boys. Yeah, Tyler boy, are they going to play? I think T's got a real shot. Tyler will Tea's got a good shot, though. I think I think he might be back and trying to impress in front of his former college quarterback. Yeah. So that's dangerous. That's absolutely dangerous because if you've watched them for the last

few weeks, you haven't prepared for that. You've been preparing for a team that's gonna try to grind it out and make things easy for their quarterback. So that's why I say you can't get caught up in yourself too much. You have to not play to protect or to earn the respect of national media. And none of those guys matter, man. The only thing that matters the game is just this simple James is tried and true blocking, tackling, kicking game that's it. Blocking ta We sometimes make this so hard. It

comes down to blocking, blocking, tackling. The team that does that the best is gonna win. No boneheaded penalties, Yeah, get them off the field on third down, don't give them confidence. And so really for me is Jaguars against themselves. But that doesn't mean that the Bengals are not formidable, because they are. I think you mentioned the tackling part that's been such a topic here in Cincinnati as well. Logan Wilson suffered a sprain ankle against

this past week, and so we'll see there against the Steelers. We'll see if he can go. I think he's treading in the right direction. You have the extra day, so we'll see. But tackling, they have to tackle Travis Etn. They have to bring down Evan Ingram. If Pat Fryermuth had a career high receiving yards this past week against them, I'm sure Jacksonville is going to see that and say, oh, but we can get Ingram, who's more athletic than Friar Mose. He's a little smaller, but he's

certainly more athletic. We can get him in space and throw him those seam routes and but we can try to get deep balls to Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk. Because it worked, Deontay Johnson got open downfield and Fryar Moo's got opened downfield. George Pickens had an explosive play, and I'm just looking back at last week. That's the other aspect here, this defense and the reason I'm harping on the defense so much. I have lower expectations for the offense.

They don't have Joe Burrow and what We've spent a lot of time this week on Lockdown Bengals, so if you're looking for that, you go to it. We talked a lot about the offense and how they can change things and how they can be a little bit better. But if you're going to win in Jacksonville, you have to make sure that this Jags offense doesn't score twenty eight because if they get to twenty eight or they get to thirty, that's just it's a lot to ask the offense to go out and do.

Yeah, so that's the number twenty eight. I was wondering what the threshold was. I mean, you want to keep them under twenty, and they did that last week, but they got crushed on time of possession and still gave up a ton of yards over four hundred yards. And the Steelers just they're not like that. The Jags, they do put out four hundred yard games, and so how bad could it be if they don't come ready to

play? And I think they will because this is kind of the season on the line game where if you win your six and six, you can lick your wounds a little bit and see if you can make a run. And if you lose, we've lost four straight, you're five and seven and you're no longer in the hunt. As they say when they show the playoff picture

in the AFC, it's gonna be huge. You know. I got a feeling that if Jack, if the Jaguars are able to put it all together and walk past them, nobody's gonna give them credit because the first thing they're gonna say, as well they were without Joe Burrow. Good news for Bengals fans. I don't know if y'all know this. Auars played better on the road than they have at home. They won eight straight games on the road. That is unheard of in the National Football League. Eight straight they won.

So they've struggled to really be consistent at home. They played a pretty clean game last week that got hammered three weeks ago by the forty nine ers at home, so I think that was a moment where they actually learned the lesson. They actually learned the lesson. So we're gonna do keys the victory. We glossed over it a little bit, Keys the victory in predictions. Of course, I'm going to pick the Jaguarsh to win, and I'll let James surprise you with who he is going to test. Of course, Bengals

fans are going to crust you. Now why those fans like me man, because you know they are like, y'all, I'm like your cousin, you know what I mean. Of course, all right, of course we have to let you know that locked On has launched the first ever national sports twenty

As we roll along here, Segment three of the Crossover Edition Locked On Bengals Locked On Jaguars. It's

now time to go the Keys to victory. I think Trevor Lawrence needs to have a good showing on national TV. Make sure that he's on point, the leadership is intact and they put up some points. They don't turn the ball over, and as with any young team, make sure bad plays don't turn into a bad series. You have to have a short memory get over it. I think there'll be a lot of pressure. In the past, Trevor's arm has been very lively at the beginning of games because he's so excited.

He's kind of cut that back a little bit, but he does have more interceptions this year than he had last year, and he has to continue to work on trimming that down. And I do know that the Bengals have some very very talented players in the secondary that could absolutely come up with the ball. So it's all on Trevor Lawrence. We have to take advantage of

the advantage that we have and you guys don't have Joe Burrow. Trevor Lawrence has to be the big guy in the room, the alpha in the room, and play well on a night when the Bengals are not playing with their star. Yeah, my Keys to victory. Let's start with the offense. I've talked a lot about the defense on this show, but like I said, the offense has been the theme. Jake Browning has to be better and the coaching staff has to put him in a better position as well, and

so I'm expecting more under center this week. I think that a lean on the run a little bit more. They're not a run first team ladies and gentlemen, so guess what they're going to throw out more than they run it. That's who they are, that's who they're going to be moving forward. That doesn't mean they can't run it more. Whether it's Joe Mixon Chase Brown,

I think both guys could see touches on Monday Night. Getting efficient efficiency out of the run game will be important, But Jake Browning just has to be better. He left some plays on the field, not just the turnover. You look at his final numbers against the Steelers, they look really good. I mean nineteen of twenty six, two seventeen, a touchdown and a pick. You take that, but it's got to look better. I'm fine with those final numbers, but it's got to look better. The eye test

didn't match the numbers, and so I think that's the start. Jake Browning has to play better. You got to get this ground game going a bit. If you get t Higgins back Jamar chasing t Higgins, that's your advantage. There's no combo like that. And so lean on those guys. You're going to be a pass first team. Lean on those guys, especially if he isn't limited at all. Jamar had six targets last week. That has to be at least at least ten, But I would say doubled against the

Jaguars. And then on defense a couple of things that you hit on there. You have to make sure or Trevor Lawrence does turn the ball over and does commit a fraudulent interception or two early that keeps you in the game, that gives you some confidence, that gives you some momentum, and takes the crowd out of the game. So winning that turnover battle is huge, limiting

the big plays, not allowing deep balls or explosives. And part of this has been a tackling issue where like Noah Brown a few weeks ago for the Texans, catches a pass and breaks like four tackles because they're swiping out the ball, swiping at the ball. I get the turnover thirst. There's also a balance there, and so they need to have that balance, make the tackles when they're there, not give up huge explosives. They might have Cam

Taylor britt back this week. DJ Turner the second the rookie has played well in the secondary. The matchup I'm looking at and I didn't talk about it much last segment, Dax Hill versus even Ingram. I think that could be one that is big. So there are a lot of keys to victory, and a lot of things have to happen around the quarterback. Now, before it was all right, Joe you can you can go hide a bunch of

these flaws if they happen. Now it's the other way. All of these guys have to step up around Jake Browning for the Bengals to get a victory. And heck, I might as well give my prediction. Now. Obviously it's early with the Monday game, and we do these crossovers earlier in the week, and that they make it tough. I think the Bengals are going to be competitive. I think it's hard for me to pick against a team that is where the Bengals expected to be this year, vying for the top

seed in the AFC, vuying for a division title. But I do think it's going to be competitive. I don't think it's going to be a blowout. I don't think the Jags are going to run them out of the building. There will be a moment much like last week, the Bengals had a seven to three lead. They were in field goal range and Jake Browning throws an interception and the Steelers went down, took the lead and never gave it up. In that moment that interception, Instantly everyone's like, yep, that's

the moment that stinks that might be the game. I think there will be a moment like that, and I'm not necessarily saying it's an interception, but there's a moment like that where we're like, man, they fight hard, but that's the moment. And I don't know what it'll be, but I'll take the Jags in a close one twenty three seventeen. They don't get to that twenty eight, but the Bengals don't get to twenty and the Jags went on Monday Night football, Bro, I'm gonna show you. I'm gonna show

you how wired in we are together. I was just going to tell you that the score is going to be twenty three seventeen with the Bengals with the ball trying to go down and win it. See and watch this, and they have that moment and then the Jaguars run the clock out, kick a field goal and make it twenty six to seventeen. So that's my score, twenty six. I knew man, we would join at the hip for a reason. Bro. Look, we almost thinking just to like, it's wild,

it's crazy. And I'm sitting there like, did this dude just say twenty three seventeen And I'm sitting here thinking that that's what the score is going to be until something happens a moment and then the Jaguars end up kicking a field goal to seal it. Yeah, that's what That's what I believe.

So if that happens, though, that is a good competitive game. But it's still a win for Jacksonville and it gets them nine to three and they remain tied with a bunch of teams at that top with only three losses. I got a question for you. Have you guys missed Jesse Bates and have people stopped talking about your offensive line. Has the offensive line played better to the point where folks stop talking about it? What are you trying to do

at the end of the show, You're just trying to poke. We already talked about how Joe burrows at you just trying to poke these his wrist though he get hurt running for his life like he did on that video you sent me. I agree, but other fans don't that way. You know, I think a lot of fans are still pissed at the offensive line. No, I the offensive line that they're not. They haven't been good run blockers this year. They've been solid pass blockers now at times, is it ugly?

Yeah, when you throw it and you drop back forty five times fifty times, that's that's part of it life in the NFL when you're doing that, especially against these elite pass rushers. But a lot of people think I've been too soft on the offensive line. That's okay, that said Jesse Bates. Oh man, Yeah, they missed they missed that. Man. They

missed that man a lot that picked six last week. You know, Jesse Bates is like, uh, you know, I had I wanted Jesse Bates real, real bad a couple of years ago when he was gonna hit hit free agency. But from the Jaguar side things the talking points that people talked about other than Trevor Lawrence, which I think is absolutely bogus that they keep wondering if he is living up the stuff.
