Locked On Bengals - Daily Podcast On The Cincinnati Bengals

Cincinnati Bengals fans got the vote right as Bob Trumpy and James Brooks will join a strong tradition of offensive playmakers in the Bengals' Ring of Honor in Week 8 against the Titans.

Jake Liscow and Joe Goodberry discuss Trumpy and Brooks' greatness and place in Bengals history and the challenges that come with the change to only allow one new player in per year for the Ring of Honor going forward. Plus, we break down the awesome selection of home "theme" games for 2026 including the new White Bengal Stripe against the Ravens on New Year's Eve.

Of all the players on the Bengals' roster, Joe Flacco holds the key to the entire 2026 Season.

 

Legendary Bengals' wide receiver Tim McGee joins Alex Frank and Coach Art Valero to discuss why Joe Flacco is so important to this Bengals' team and, in particular, Joe Burrow. Then, Tim gives his reaction to the Bengals' Ring of Honor inductees this year.

 

Chase Brown is an ascending running back. Why not extend him before he costs too much... and has a higher chance of leaving the building? The guys discuss why the Bengals should, or maybe shouldn't, extend Chase Brown.

 

Should Zac Taylor give up play-calling? Maybe not this season, but Alex shares why he ultimately might want to concede calling plays after this season if we still have the same gripes about his play-calling after the season.

 

For the last two seasons, Andrei Iosivas has shined in Training Camp. Why can't he then put it together in the regular season? Tim shares what Iosivas could to to have that breakout regular season.

The Cincinnati Bengals have one of the most patient ownership groups in sports when it comes to firing their head coach, but what's the bare minimum for Zac Taylor in a year that expectations are sky high?

Jake Liscow and Joe Goodberry think the Bengals are heading for a big season, and break down what they must do for Taylor to keep his job. Plus, we dive into the "buy, sell, or hold" game on young Bengals including Jordan Battle, Demetrius Knight, Barrett Carter, and Erick All, and look for potential age- or scheme-related regression candidates.

How much can the Cincinnati Bengals expect their 2026 rookie class to contribute despite not having a first round pick? Cashius Howell leads the way on paper with a significant role as a rotational pass rusher, but will Colbie Young break into the wide receiver mix, or can Tacario Davis carve out key snaps as a subpackage corner?

Jake Liscow and Joe Goodberry forecast which Bengals rookies could make early contributions at training camp, from Jack Endries vying for tight end snaps to Landon Robinson’s defensive tackle outlook. Plus, while their roles are clear as backups, can Brian Parker and Connor Lew elevate the depth of the Bengals’ offensive line room?

After trading for Dexter Lawrence, the Cincinnati Bengals’ revamped defensive line is poised to become a strength of the team. Can this deep rotation, featuring additions like Boye Mafe, Jonathan Allen, and Cashius Howell, transform the Bengals’ defensive identity and provide the edge needed for a championship run?

Jake Liscow and Joe Goodberry break down a deep defensive line that will present interesting rotations, depth concerns at cornerback, offensive tackle, and wide receiver, and even get into a too-early preview of the Week 1 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
