Locked On Bengals

The guys break down how Jordan Battle and Jermaine Burton's roles could grow throughout this season as the Cincinnati Bengals' defense continues to search for answers, and the offense could always benefit from more downfield targets. Plus, Ryan Rekhow is the only punter left on the roster after early-week shuffling, and hoping the defensive line gets some reinforcements this week.Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Community! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonbengalsFind and follow Locked On Bengals on your favorite podcast platforms:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/locked-on-bengals-daily-podcast-on-the-cincinnati-bengals/id1159723162Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7AObc0lh0WmQl5fJVgtajsGoogle Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vbG9ja2Vkb25iZW5nYWxz?sa=X&ved=0CAYQrrcFahcKEwio_sXtj8nuAhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQAgStitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/locked-on-bengalsFor your next listen, check out the Locked On Fantasy Football podcast.

Film takeaways from the Cincinnati Bengals' first win of the season were positive on offense, so the guys are joined by Mike Santagata to break down how Joe Burrow is in midseason form, and how young players are contributing. We dive into Amarius Mims' first start, Chase Brown showing his upside, and Erick All growing into a TE1 role. Unfortunately, the issues on defense have largely persisted, and we continue to try to find causes, baby steps in the right direction, and look for potential solutions.Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Community! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonbengalsFind and follow Locked On Bengals on your favorite podcast platforms:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/locked-on-bengals-daily-podcast-on-the-cincinnati-bengals/id1159723162Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7AObc0lh0WmQl5fJVgtajsGoogle Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vbG9ja2Vkb25iZW5nYWxz?sa=X&ved=0CAYQrrcFahcKEwio_sXtj8nuAhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQAgStitcher: https:/

The guys break down the Cincinnati Bengals' first win of the season over the Carolina Panthers, headlined by momentum building for a versatile offense, and lowlighted by a defense that has left us asking questions. So it's a mixed bag of reactions with plenty of positives on offense bundled with a few late-game questions, and a bunch of issues on defense.Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Community! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonbengalsFind and follow Locked On Bengals on your favorite podcast platforms:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/locked-on-bengals-daily-podcast-on-the-cincinnati-bengals/id1159723162Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7AObc0lh0WmQl5fJVgtajsGoogle Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vbG9ja2Vkb25iZW5nYWxz?sa=X&ved=0CAYQrrcFahcKEwio_sXtj8nuAhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQAgStitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/locked-on-bengalsFor your next listen, check out the Locked On Fantasy Football podcast.

We all know the Cincinnati Bengals are in a bad place with their 0-3 start, somehow with a worse record than the Carolina Panthers they'll be visiting in Week 4. We also believe the Bengals are simply a better team than their record, and that the offense is good enough that they should still win a lot of football games this season. The guys break down what needs to happen for Zac Taylor's team to finally win their first win of the season.Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Community! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonbengalsFind and follow Locked On Bengals on your favorite podcast platforms:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/locked-on-bengals-daily-podcast-on-the-cincinnati-bengals/id1159723162Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7AObc0lh0WmQl5fJVgtajsGoogle Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vbG9ja2Vkb25iZW5nYWxz?sa=X&ved=0CAYQrrcFahcKEwio_sXtj8nuAhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQAgStitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/locked-on-bengalsFor your next listen, c

Andy Dalton's nearly annual tradition of playing quarterback for an NFC team that plays the Cincinnati Bengals will resume this weekend in Charlotte as Lou Anarumo's defense will be searching for stops. Meanwhile, the Panthers' defense looks about as bad as any in the NFL, which is good news for Joe Burrow and Zac Taylor who may need to carry the day on offense.

Unfortunately the All-22 didn't give many reasons for optimism on the defensive side of the ball, so the guys are joined by Mike Santagata (bengals_sans) to break down what we saw on film. We're at the point where a Myles Murphy breakout and getting healthier at DT might just get them to "below average" instead of "disaster".

The Cincinnati Bengals defense just isn't good enough. Everything that could go wrong went wrong from the lack of talent on the defensive front, tackling, and inability to do anything to disrupt Jayden Daniels' coming out party. The offense was awesome, but it's hard to think about anything besides what looked like the worst defense in the NFL on Monday Night Football.Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Community! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonbengalsFind and follow Locked On Bengals on your favorite podcast platforms:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/locked-on-bengals-daily-podcast-on-the-cincinnati-bengals/id1159723162Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7AObc0lh0WmQl5fJVgtajsGoogle Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vbG9ja2Vkb25iZW5nYWxz?sa=X&ved=0CAYQrrcFahcKEwio_sXtj8nuAhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQAgStitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/locked-on-bengalsFor your next listen, check out the Locked On Fantasy Football podcast.

Tee Higgins will return from his hamstring injury on Monday Night Football, and could be a catalyst that combines with a shaky Washington Commanders defense that leads to an explosive night for the Cincinnati Bengals offense. The guys are looking for the offense to control the game this week, force the Commanders to play from behind, and help the defense play the kind of game it wants to play instead of dealing with Brian Robinson and Washington's running attack all night.

While the Cincinnati Bengals lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in heartbreaking fashion on Sunday, film takeaways reveal quite a few reasons to be optimistic about the team's 2024 future. Joe Burrow and the offense took major steps forward, and Lou Anarumo and his secondary looked like the kind of unit that can give opposing passing attacks headaches. Mike Santagata joins Jake Liscow to break down how Joe Burrow is progressing, what the offense did to evolve schematically, and how the Cincinnati Bengals defense limited Patrick Mahomes and the KC passing offense could be a good sign for the future.Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Community! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonbengalsFind and follow Locked On Bengals on your favorite podcast platforms:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/locked-on-bengals-daily-podcast-on-the-cincinnati-bengals/id1159723162Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7AObc0lh0WmQl5fJVgtajsGoogle Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm

The Cincinnati Bengals made a ton of big plays to put themselves in position to win Sunday's road game with the Kansas City Chiefs, but made one too many mistakes, culminating with a Daijahn Anthony defensive pass interference penalty late in the 4th quarter.

The Cincinnati Bengals obviously need to tackle better to win football games. Joe Burrow obviously can't play sped up and frantic football in the pocket. Beyond that, the guys discuss why finding yards after the catch could be an important factor for them to get moving in the right direction in Week 2's road trip to face the Kansas City Chiefs in Arrowhead. Plus, it's looking doubtful that Tee Higgins will make it back for the game, so the guys wonder whether this is the week Jermaine Burton is an x-factor.Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Community! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonbengalsFind and follow Locked On Bengals on your favorite podcast platforms:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/locked-on-bengals-daily-podcast-on-the-cincinnati-bengals/id1159723162Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7AObc0lh0WmQl5fJVgtajsGoogle Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vbG9ja2Vkb25iZW5nYWxz?sa=X&ved=0CAYQrrcFahcKEwio_sXtj8nuAhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQAgStitcher:

The Cincinnati Bengals are faced with one of the toughest opponents in the NFL as they try to avoid another 0-2 start in 2024. After a rough Week 1 performance, the guys crossover with Locked On Chiefs' Chris Clark and Ryan Tracy to break down how the offense can bounce back, perhaps with an adjustment to feature more Erick All Jr. and Drew Sample 12 personnel, and emphasize finishing plays on defense as crucial for a road upset in Arrowhead. Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Community! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonbengalsFind and follow Locked On Bengals on your favorite podcast platforms:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/locked-on-bengals-daily-podcast-on-the-cincinnati-bengals/id1159723162Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7AObc0lh0WmQl5fJVgtajsGoogle Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vbG9ja2Vkb25iZW5nYWxz?sa=X&ved=0CAYQrrcFahcKEwio_sXtj8nuAhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQAgStitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/locked-on-bengals For your next lis

The Cincinnati Bengals have a slow start problem. Many think that simply playing the starters more in the preseason is the answer. The guys discuss the pros and cons to that approach, including why it may make sense specifically for Joe Burrow and tackling issues, and why it may not be the salve you'd hope. Then, we break down whether we're buying concerns about Joe Burrow's wrist or contract distractions hanging over the team.Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Community! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonbengalsFind and follow Locked On Bengals on your favorite podcast platforms:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/locked-on-bengals-daily-podcast-on-the-cincinnati-bengals/id1159723162Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7AObc0lh0WmQl5fJVgtajsGoogle Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vbG9ja2Vkb25iZW5nYWxz?sa=X&ved=0CAYQrrcFahcKEwio_sXtj8nuAhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQAgStitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/locked-on-bengals For your next listen, check out t

After digesting the tape of the Cincinnati Bengals' ugly week 1 loss to the New England Patriots, the guys are joined by Mike Santagata to discuss what stood out on review. First, Joe Burrow had a rocky performance highlighted by the beginning and end of the game not being up to his standard. Then, we discuss some playcalling and coaching issues. Finally, the defensive issue was pretty clear: one team tackled, one team didn't. Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Community! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonbengalsFind and follow Locked On Bengals on your favorite podcast platforms:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/locked-on-bengals-daily-podcast-on-the-cincinnati-bengals/id1159723162Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7AObc0lh0WmQl5fJVgtajsGoogle Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vbG9ja2Vkb25iZW5nYWxz?sa=X&ved=0CAYQrrcFahcKEwio_sXtj8nuAhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQAgStitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/locked-on-bengals For your next listen, check out t

It was a no good, very bad, absolutely terrible season opener for the Cincinnati Bengals. With a sputtering start and atrocious fumbles, they lost a game to a New England Patriots team they had no business losing to, and now face an uphill battle out of the season opener again. Worse, they didn't find consistent answers on offense and couldn't - or wouldn't - push the ball downfield in the passing game, and simply couldn't tackle on defense in the running game. They'll need to find answers fast.  Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Community! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonbengalsFind and follow Locked On Bengals on your favorite podcast platforms:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/locked-on-bengals-daily-podcast-on-the-cincinnati-bengals/id1159723162Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7AObc0lh0WmQl5fJVgtajsGoogle Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vbG9ja2Vkb25iZW5nYWxz?sa=X&ved=0CAYQrrcFahcKEwio_sXtj8nuAhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQAgStitcher: https://ww
