Zac Taylor on Bengals' QB Dilemma With Jake Browning Struggling

Transcript

00:00Well, we have to take care of the football.

00:01That's the number one thing is eliminating the turnovers,

00:05giving them a short field for our defense.

00:08You know, our defense first drive of the game gave up a touchdown

00:11after starting on the minus 41,

00:12and then gave up a touchdown after starting on the plus 19.

00:15Those are the 14 points they gave up.

00:16And so we've got to give them better opportunities

00:19to be able to keep points off the board

00:22because those are two tough field positions

00:25that one started with a special teams error,

00:26one started with an offensive error.

00:28And in order to play winning football,

00:30we've obviously got to score more points on the offense

00:32and keep our defense out of harm's way in terms of the field position.

00:36And then they've got to do a great job of creating some turnovers.

00:39You know, they got the one, but we're going to need more than that.

00:41Do you see Jake starting on Sunday?

00:42We'll see where it goes.

00:43You know, I think like all personnel decisions, we've got to evaluate it.

00:48Jake's been very accountable for how the game went for him.

00:51I've got to be accountable for how the game went for me as well.

00:54And so we'll continue to progress here through the days.

00:56What would you like?

00:57When would you want that to be finalized, going for a game week?

01:01When do you need to have a guy?

01:02Obviously, these are things that we talk about every single Monday and Tuesday.

01:05So we'll evaluate a lot of positions.
