WhoDey Weekly interview with Hue Jackson

To be honest, when I was thinking of what Bengal to interview next as I was dashing around the event, Hue Jackson never crossed my mind. It wasn't that I didn't think he would be a good interview, it is just he was not in the forefront of my thoughts. However, as I watched him walk by, I instantly thought to myself that he would be a good sound bite. I am glad I stopped him.

I of course started off asking him what it was like to be back in Cincinnati. I then followed with if it was familiar or a big change. He talked about some familiarity, but there were a lot of "Great" changes. One interesting comment was how he said he could see the influence of Marvin Lewis and Mike Zimmer with the size of the players on defense.

I also asked what he was excited about this season. He named all the coaches and staff and that the Bengals were set up well. He also talked about the goal of course being the Super Bowl but that there were no guarantees.
