Locked On Bengals - Daily Podcast On The Cincinnati Bengals

In part 1 of a 2-episode series, Jake Liscow and Joe Goodberry are joined by Dan Hoard to peel back the curtain on why 2026 feels different. No one is closer to the team than Hoard, and we discuss the Dexter Lawrence trade, the focus on leadership changes from Joe Burrow and his favorite call from the Zac Taylor era.

Zac Taylor and Joe Burrow have successfully evolved the Cincinnati Bengals' offense every year in response to the unique defenses they face. And all of that work has them primed for an even better performance in 2026. Jake Liscow and Joe Goodberry break down the Bengals’ offensive evolution from heavy zone runs and under-center looks to a vertical shotgun attack with LSU designs built around Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. We discuss how they'll take the next step with an experienced offense, why that experience can play up with continuity and talent on offense, and how tight end usage could be key to progress.

The Cincinnati Bengals face a pivotal question: will more under-center play action help Joe Burrow’s offense rediscover explosive plays? Burrow and offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher know the offense needs to be more explosive, but shifting the offense isn't as simple as "just going under center." Jake Liscow and Joe Goodberry break down Burrow’s passing splits, under-center run game with Chase Brown, and what the data says about Zac Taylor’s scheme. Is there a trade-off between consistency and explosiveness? Plus, we discuss the impact of shotgun-heavy formations, and whether tweaks at tight end could hold the key to Cincinnati’s offensive ceiling.

One of the bright spots last year for the Bengals was the emergence of their offensive line. In particular, rookie left guard Dylan Fairchild settled in nicely and has given Joe Burrow a much-needed boost at left guard.   Alex Frank, Coach Art Valero, and Joe Goodberry discuss Fairchild's flourish last year and what his expectations can be in Year 2.   Scott Peters was hired prior to the 2025 Season to be the Bengals' offensive line coach. After a slow start, we started to see a lot of things that make the Bengals look good on hiring him. Are we ready to say the Bengals got it right by hiring him?   The Bengals return all five starters on their offensive line this season, a first in the Joe Burrow era. Are there any concerns, though, that still remain about Burrow's security detail?   Cincinnati drafted two offensive linemen this past April in Connor Lew and Brian Parker II. Could we see any of them in significant action this season?   Photo Credit: Eric Hartline-Imagn Images   Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Community!

Despite all of the hype for the 2026 Cincinnati Bengals, some analysts still question the Dexter Lawrence trade and wonder if the defense will be good enough. We're here to bust that myth. Jake Liscow and Joe Goodberry start with the idea that Lawrence is "declining." There's plenty of proof that he'll be the star difference-maker the Bengals need. We also break down how this year's retooled defense compares to 2021 and 2022, with questions lingering about Al Golden's ability to match Lou Anarumo's mad scientist gameplans in the playoffs.

Critics still claim the Cincinnati Bengals can’t protect Joe Burrow, but they must not have been paying attention in 2025. With Scott Peters’ impact and breakout performances from Amarius Mims and Dylan Fairchild, the offensive line quietly became a strength last year. Could this be the year old narratives finally die? Jake Liscow and Joe Goodberry break down the film takeaways and data to bust lingering myths—including Burrow’s improved sack avoidance. Find out why this line could be poised for a top-10 finish.

Joe Burrow said Wednesday that he feels the same way going into this season and about this team that he did about his 2019 LSU team. Uh... whoa! He's not just saying that just to say it.   Alex Frank, FOX19 Sports Director Joe Danneman, and Coach Art Valero discuss how Joe Burrow is going very bold with his expectations for the Bengals and what it means.   How good can the Bengals' cornerback room be this season? Could both DJ Turner and Dax Hill get contract extensions? Who is going to start at slot corner?   Zac Taylor has a lot of pressure on him coming into this season. But is his seat hot or just warm going in?   Dexter Lawrence no doubt sent waves through the NFL, especially in Cincinnati, when he was traded to the Bengals back in April. But what other move by the Bengals this offseason is the biggest standout from this offseason and which move could be the most impactful during the season?   Photo Credit: Katie Stratman-USA TODAY Sports   Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Community!

The Cincinnati Bengals wrap minicamp early, with Zac Taylor showing full confidence in this veteran roster. Joe Burrow invoked the mystique of his 2019 LSU Tigers, raising the bar and urgency for Cincinnati’s Super Bowl ambitions. Jake Liscow and Joe Goodberry are joined by Mike Petraglia (CLNS Cincy & Jungle Roar Pod) to analyze Burrow’s leadership evolution, the overhauld defense's new leadership group, Josh Newton’s opportunity, and whether Andre Iosivas can rise in a crucial year. Will Burrow’s bold new approach—and these offseason shifts—make the Bengals true contenders? Photo Credit: Frank Bowen IV Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Community!

The Cincinnati Bengals ended minicamp early, and Joe Burrow set a Super Bowl standard in his final press conference before training camp in late July. Burrow drew bold parallels to his 2019 LSU Tigers, while Zac Taylor praised locker room chemistry and veteran leadership from additions like Dexter Lawrence and Jonathan Allen. Jake Liscow and Joe Goodberry break down Burrow’s evolving “mean” leadership style, the Bengals’ push for explosive plays, and increased pressure on both coaches and players after an aggressive offseason. Key topics include how the Bengals’ offensive strategy is adapting to NFL trends, how they'll create more explosives and why Zac Taylor ended minicamp early.  Photo Credit: Katie Stratman Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Community!

Plus, we discussed the takeaways from Katie Blackburn's meeting with the media on Monday, including comments on the draft, contract extensions, and Zac Taylor's future, and Elizabeth and Caroline Blackburn’s promotions.

Joe Burrow is one of, if not the best, quarterbacks in the NFL. When it comes to Burrow as a clutch quarterback, that's when the conversation gets really interesting.   Alex Frank and Coach Art Valero discuss Burrow's play in high-leverage moments and on the NFL's biggest stages. They also discuss how for those that argue he's not clutch that maybe he's actually just unlucky.   Burrow's contract was restructured this week, and it's yet another modernization by the Bengals' organization since they drafted their franchise quarterback. More importantly, the Bengals continued to solidify their all-in approach to this season.   Is there any way Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase can be better in 2026? Alex and Coach break down how that could happen with the NFL's best quarterback-wide receiver combo.   Photo Courtesy: Jay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY Sports   Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Community! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonbengals   Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Bengals' cornerback DJ Turner is coming off a spectacular season in 2025, his third in the NFL. Turner is now eyeing a contract extension with the Bengals, but should he be the No. 1 priority for the Bengals when it comes to a contract extension?   Alex Frank, Jake Liscow, and Coach Art Valero discuss how the Bengals and Turner can come to an agreement on a contract extension while still taking care of other players eligible for extensions.   Speaking of cornerback, the Bengals drafted one in the third round this past April in Tacario Davis. What are reasonable expectations for Davis, and what parts of his player profile stand out?   The Bengals completely revamped their defense this offseason. Can it be the best in the AFC North this season? The guys discuss how it's not a far-fetched proposition.   Joe Burrow is a great quarterback. But is there one part to his game that is concerning going into the 2026 Season? It's a conversation many Bengals fans may not want to hear, but it is worth talking about.   Photo Credit: Joseph Maiorana-Imagn Images   Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Community! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonbengals   Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Chase Brown is a great fit in the Bengals offense, and Samaje Perine is a good backup, but both of the Bengals' primary running backs are in the last year of their deal in 2026 and that leaves questions for the future.  Jake Liscow and Joe Goodberry break down what the Bengals have at running back, Brown as an extension candidate, and whether anyone could emerge at RB3 or beyond as there aren't clear answers for depth or 2027 and beyond on the roster.

Erick All appears to be back to form and running with the starters in OTAs. His return could fill out the tight end room in Cincinnati with Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample leading the way and potenially give this high-powered Bengals offense another position of strength.  Jake Liscow and Joe Goodberry take an in-depth look at the Bengals' tight end room with breakdowns of their individual skills and how they could fit together. It's an overlooked position on the Bengals roster, but they have enough variety and skill to make it an impact spot on an already impressive offensive team.  Photo Credit: Katie Stratman Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Community! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonbengals Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Perhaps the toughest test for the Bengals this season is in Week 2 when they go down to play the Houston Texans, who have the NFL's most frightening defense.   Alex Frank, Coach Art Valero, Mike Santagana, and CLNS Media Bengals beat writer Mike Petraglia discuss the challenges the Bengals will face in their first road game of the season and how they can beat a really good and tenacious Texans' defense.   Speaking of which, a lot has happened since the last time the Bengals played the Texans, particularly with Joe Burrow. After all of the uncertainty and noticeable concerns about Burrow, the guys discuss the rejuvenated and newfound confident Joe Burrow going into the 2026 Season.   The Bengals' Ring of Honor is one of the best parts of every season. However, there's one potentially fatal flaw with it. Alex explains what that is with historical perspective from Trags.   If the Bengals offense is going to be elite in 2026, they're going to have to run the football. But the most important player to their running game may not even be Chase Brown. The guys discuss why that player is Erick All Jr..   Photo Credits: Troy Taormina-Imagn Images | Kareem Elgazzar-Imagn Images   Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Community! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonbengals   Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Ja'marr Chase, Tee Higgins and DJ Turner are talking about Super Bowls at OTAs, and they have the play to back it up, but does the rest roster have what it takes to make a championship run? Jake Liscow and Joe Goodberry break down Daniel Jeremiah's Championship Benchmarks to see if the Bengals have the key building blocks needed on defense for a legitimate Super Bowl Run. The Bengals are exceeding the standard on the offensive side, but a closer look at the defensive side of the ball lays out the roadmap for who needs to develop and what needs to happen in 2026.

If the Bengals' defense is going to be better this season, it's going to start up front. In particular, Shemar Stewart, last year's first-round pick, needs to make a big leap in his second season.   Alex Frank, Jake Liscow, and Coach Art Valero discuss the importance of Stewart having a much better second season after a much smoother offseason for the Bengals' first-round pick last year.   Stewart is part of a completely revamped Bengals' defensive line that some are saying could be the deepest in the NFL. How deep is it, exactly?   While the Bengals haven't exactly addressed linebacker by signing a linebacker, they have done a lot around Barrett Carter and Demetrius Knight Jr. to put them in a better position to succeed. The guys discuss if the Bengals' approach will pay off this season.   Monday, the Cleveland Browns sent shockwaves through the NFL by trading Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams. Joe Burrow now won't have to face him twice a year, and the guys discuss the AFC North now that one of the game's biggest stars is out of the division.   Photo Credit: Sam Greene-Imagn Images   Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Community! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonbengals   Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

The Cincinnati Bengals made huge moves on the defensive side of the ball this year, but are counting on Demetrius Knight Jr. and Barrett Carter to develop at linebacker for the defense to really come together. Jake Liscow and Joe Goodberry break down just how much moves to add Bryan Cook and Dexter Lawrence will move the needle and help those linebackers come along in year 2. Plus, we discuss some of the questions we're looking to get answered during OTAs, including how Kyle Dugger may be a sneaky big addition to Al Golden's defense in 2026.

It's been a proverbial conversation for years surrounding Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals, and it will be that way once again going into the 2026 season. Can the Bengals get off to a fast start? If they can this season, the No. 1 seed may very well be in play.   Alex Frank, Coach Art Valero, and FOX19 Sports Director Joe Danneman discuss how this year's Bengals can get off to that fast start and if the No. 1 seed is a realistic goal this season. It could be with the AFC as wide open as it has ever been.   The Bengals have 12 players on the ballot for induction into their  Ring of Honor this season. Two will get in. Which two should get in? Alex explains who he and his family are voting for and why they deserve to be inducted.   This time of the year is for predictions and projections. In the final segment today, Alex, Coach, and Joe play the over/under game with eight different categories.   Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Community! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonbengals   Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

There are many things to look forward to on the Bengals 2026 Schedule and the 2026 Season. One of those things is the season-opener, as Joe Burrow faces an old AFC North rival in quarterback Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.   Alex Frank and Coach Art Valero discuss the Bengals' Week 1 matchup against the Buccaneers and how fireworks could be seen from both quarterbacks. But there's more to this matchup than just the two quarterbacks, and one thing could benefit the Bengals in the early part of the season.   With the other three teams in the AFC North changing head coaches this offseason, does this mean the Bengals should be favored to win the AFC North in 2026? There can be a case made for both sides of that question.   The Bengals have a favorable schedule in 2026. But there's another element that may enable them to get back to the Playoffs in 2026. After all, the entire AFC is wide open.   Joe Burrow represents a lot of things to the Bengals and Cincinnati. But above all of those things, it may be Burrow being an ambassador to the Bengals franchise, the Queen City, and beyond.   Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Community! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonbengals   Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

The Cincinnati Bengals added Geno Atkins, AJ Green, Andrew Whitworth, Leon Hall, and Carlos Dunlap to the 2026 Ring Of Honor Ballot, and now we're not sure they'll ever catch up for the original, also deserving nominees. Jake Liscow and James Rapien discuss whether it was too early to add some players who have only been out of the league for 3 years, with guys like Bob Trumpy, Max Montoya, David Fulcher, Reggie Williams, and James Brooks have been waiting and waiting.  Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Community! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonbengals Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Amarius Mims came into the NFL as a ball of clay with an incredible toolkit, and it looks like Bengals offensive line coach Scott Peters is helping him realize his potential. Jake Liscow and James Rapien break down why Mims is the most obvious breakout Bengal in 2026, before scouring the rest of the roster for other breakout candidates like Dylan Fairchild and Shemar Stewart.

NFL games are often won or lost on the margins, where X-Factors come out of nowhere to make game-winning plays. We know Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Dexter Lawrence, Bryan Cook, and DJ Turner are foundational pieces for the 2026 Bengals, but which X-Factor will take the next step to join them?  Jake Liscow and James Rapien start the conversation with linebackers Demetrius Knight Jr. and Barrett Carter, before breaking down all of the potential X-Factors like Kyle Dugger, Boye Mafe, Shemar Stewart, Andrei Iosivas, and Jack Endries and how they could make major impacts this season.

When Joe Burrow says something like the Bengals are going to "win the Super Bowl" this year, he's not just saying it just to say it. This is a confident Joe Burrow, and that could be a scary thing for the rest of the NFL.   Alex Frank, Mike Santagana, and Coach Art Valero discuss Burrow talking Super Bowl, breaking records, and winning MVP and how all of those things can happen in 2026.   One thing that will help, for sure, is a fast start. It's not all on Burrow and the passing game to get off to a good start. Chase Brown, actually, holds the key to a fast start.   Every NFL fan now looks for when the Bills-Chiefs game is on the schedule. But it wasn't too long ago when Bengals-Chiefs was that game. Joe Burrow and the Bengals, and Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, now have the opportunity this season to remind everybody how this is the best rivalry in the NFL.   The Bengals have two prime time home games this season, both against AFC North opponents. Alex, Mike, and Coach discuss those games and what could ultimately decide them.   Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Community! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonbengals   Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Joe Burrow said this is the most talented roster the Bengals have build since he was drafted, but do 2021 or 2022 give it a run for its money? Jake Liscow and James Rapien compare the 2026 post-Dexter Lawrence trade roster with Burrow's Bengals AFC Championship Game and Super Bowl rosters to discern whether the Bengals' star quarterback is accurate in his assessment of the roster's talent.

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is going to speak to the media Wednesday for the first time this offseason, but he made some recent comments in an article on bengals.com indicating he is really happy with where the Bengals are at this point in the offseason.   Alex Frank, Jake Liscow, and Coach Art Valero discuss Joe Burrow's and the Bengals' state organizationally as their quarterback prepares to lead them overseas and through a pivotal 2026 Season.   Burrow says the Bengals have everything they need to be really good. Aside from linebacker, that may be true. But is there another glaring need that still exists for this team? It never hurts to have depth on offense.   When the Bengals go overseas, they will not have a bye week the week after. How much could that impact them? Is it not anything to worry about? Or, is it concerning wit the Bengals playing 12 straight games to end the regular season after their Week 6 bye?   Every team has one or more games on their schedule that is viewed as a trap game. For the Bengals, Alex has one game he's really nervous about even though he shouldn't be. Jake and Coach also give their trap games.   Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Community! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonbengals   Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

There was always going to be a lot of pressure on Zac Taylor and his coaching staff after 3 straight seasons of missing the playoffs, but after an active and aggressive offseason from the front office, it's hard to come up with more excuses if the Bengals don't get back on track in 2026. Jake Liscow and James Rapien break down why the Dexter Lawrence trade amped up the pressure on the coaching staff, how they're embracing those expectations, and why Al Golden needs to step up in a big way after the team made significant investments in Bryan Cook, Boye Mafe, Jonathan Allen, and Lawrence.

With DJ Turner, Dax Hill, Myles Murphy, Chase Brown, and Jordan Battle (and others) extension-eligible heading into 2026, the Bengals have a lot of decisions to make between now and 2027 free agency. Jake Liscow and James Rapien discuss the list of extension candidates that hinges on whether the Bengals can find common ground with Turner and/or Hill. Plus, there's a long discussion around running back value after Devon Achane and Breece Hall got paid, and how Chase Brown fits into the Bengals' future plans.

Even with the Bengals' three prime time games in the second half of the regular-season, that's actually the easier half of the Bengals' 2026 Schedule.   Alex Frank and Coach Art Valero how the Bengals actually have more advantages in the second half of the regular season as opposed to the first half. The first half of the schedule features a lot of road trips and division games, including three teams in the first four weeks that made the Playoffs last year.   In addition, the Bengals' much-improved offensive line will face a stiff test right out of the gate against the Buccaneers, Texans, and Steelers, who all have stout defensive fronts.   Speaking of prime time games, the Bengals have three this season. Two of them are at home... against AFC North opponents. Finally, the Bengals get the advantage of having prime time home games against their biggest rivals.   The Bengals are going overseas this season to play the Falcons in Madrid, but they won't get a bye week afterwards. Alex and Coach discuss if this is actually not a bad thing, considering a key advantage the Bengals have in the second half of the regular season.     Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Community! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonbengals   Everydayer Club   If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

The Cincinnati Bengals finally get their Thursday Night Football game against the Ravens in 2026 after a 4-year streak of road primetime games in Baltimore, and an early bye is our primary complaint with the Week 9 trip to Madrid leading into a divisional matchup with the Steelers in Week 10. Jake Liscow and James Rapien break down the Bengals' 2026 schedule, which seems relatively favorable compared to recent years despite just 3 primetime games on the calendar - at least they're mostly at home this year!

The Cincinnati Bengals are playing their first international game since 2019, as the NFL tabbed Joe Burrow's club for its Week 9 Madrid game against the Atlanta Falcons. Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase's star power were a big part of their selection for the NFL's second game in Spain, so Jake Liscow and James Rapien break down what the international exposure means for the 2026 Bengals, and how Burrow feels this offseason's moves have them primed to represent the league abroad. Plus, Andrei Iosivas' post-workout locker room comments stood out as he enters a contract year with Colbie Young entering the picture as competition for WR3 snaps.

Kenny Moore, on paper, is a great fit for what the Bengals need to solidify their slot cornerback position. Jake Liscow and James Rapien discuss why adding Moore would make sense for the Bengals, and why the Bengals might have reservations about adding the veteran defensive back. Plus, DeAndre Hopkins and Kyle Van Noy have expressed interest in playing with Joe Burrow in Cincinnati, so the guys discuss whether those veterans could help be floor raisers if the Bengals were interested in delving into cheap veteran ring chasers.  Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Community! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonbengals Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Jake Liscow and James Rapien break down what it means that they went the waiver route to add a veteran linebacker with special teams experience, and if it portends inactivity for additional moves at linebacker. Plus, we break down the takeaways from rookie minicamp including Cashius Howell's participation and contract commentary, the chip on Jack Endries' shoulder, and the outlook for Colbie Young. Plus, we break down this year's crop of Bengals UDFAs.

While Joe Burrow says he is pretty excited about the additions to the Bengals, the focus now shifts to the Bengals actually living up to their potential on the field. The Bengals may be Super Bowl contenders this season, but if they don't live up to their potential, there could be a feeling of if they ever will.  Alex Frank, Coach Art Valero, and FOX19 Sports Director Joe Danneman discuss why it is so paramount the Bengals, at the very least, get back to the Playoffs and put themselves back in the Super Bowl conversation this season. It's worth noting that if the Bengals get in the Playoffs, we know what Joe Burrow can do.  Back in 2021, Joe Burrow famously said that if the Bengals could win the AFC North that they could win it all. Unfortunately, the Bengals have had a rocky road in the AFC North since 2021. Should we be concerned about Burrow and the Bengals' ability to perform in the AFC North?  Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Community! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonbengals  Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Joe Burrow is excited about the Cincinnati Bengals' front office realizing they're in a window, treating the offseason with an aggression that culminated in major veteran additions like Bryan Cook and Boye Mafe, culminating in the Dexter Lawrence acquisition.

A lot has changed for the Cincinnati Bengals since we first graded their free agency additions, most notably the huge swing to trade for Dexter Lawrence. They also re-signed Joe Flacco, signed Kyle Dugger, and added Cashius Howell and others in a draft class that we generally liked. With that in mind, it's time for Jake Liscow and James Rapien to grade the Bengals' entire offseason to date, which includes a major upgrade for veteran additions after the Lawrence trade that should make a significant difference for the defense, and improved depth around the roster that should improve resiliency in 2026.
