Paul Dehner Jr.

And so let's dive into it.

First thing is, Paul Dehner Jr. bringing us this one.

Talking about the Bengals changes were obvious as the difference between Perine's 4.9 and Chase Brown's 3.0 yards per carry on Sunday.

The usage shift represents an emphasis on efficiency over explosiveness.

Paul Dehner Jr. and Jay Morrison here inside Paycor Stadium on a day where the Cincinnati Bengals lose to the Jacksonville Jaguars, 22-17, falling to 2-2.

Joe Burrow was out there with an opportunity to once again prove that he can be clutch, but he didn't have any of his friends with him, and they fall a little bit short.

Jay, what's the headline? Drop the clutch.

The result obviously changes everything.

We asked Paul Dehner Jr. earlier this week, and this entire conversation is on our YouTube channel, so make sure you go and subscribe @FirstWordCincy.

But asked him about the significance of Sunday's game, and if we can learn anything about the 2026 Cincinnati Bengals.

You know, sometimes games feel like they're gonna reveal something specific about a team.

This stuff's not gonna be tolerated." Much m- stronger presence in that reaction than a lot of what we've heard.

That's why they're there, and that needs to be proven by carrying over on Sunday and beating a good Jacksonville team.
