Locked On Bengals - Daily Podcast On The Cincinnati Bengals

Orlando Brown Jr. is one of the most important leaders for the Cincinnati Bengals in 2026, and is fresh off negotiating his own contract extension with the team earlier in an offseason that has featured player-driven leadership and a massive trade for Dexter Lawrence.

OBJ joins Jake Liscow and Joe Goodberry to break down how he negotiated his contract, the OL room coming together to lobby for re-signing Dalton Risner, and how he worked with Frank Pollack and Scott Peters to refine his stance and technique over the last few seasons. We also get his take on the Lawrence trade, his confidence in the team's ability to pass protect in 2026, and how Marvel Rivals is sharpening his focus for this season.

Joe Burrow is an elite quarterback, regardless of what any national talk show host or analyst may say otherwise. That said, could winning a league MVP validate his status?

 

Alex Frank, Joe Goodberry, and Coach Art Valero discuss if Burrow needs the highest individual award in the NFL, in addition to the ultimate team goal of winning the Super Bowl.

 

Ja'Marr Chase is viewed by some as the best wide receiver in the NFL. He just keeps getting better every single season, but is there something he need to do, or can do, this season to officially make the majority view him as the best wide receiver in the NFL?

 

There are a lot of national narratives about the Bengals that are simply lazy. Which one are Alex, Joe, and Coach the most tired of?

 

Finally, it's not the Baltimore Ravens that are the biggest competition in the AFC North for the Bengals. It's actually the Pittsburgh Steelers. After all, they won the AFC North last year.

The Cincinnati Bengals are getting national media love this summer, but this isn't the top-heavy roster that many assume. Ted Karras and Dax Hill are underrated and are critical to the Bengals success in 2026. 

Jake Liscow and Joe Goodberry dive into why Karras and Hill aren't getting the attention they deserve and why they're important to the Bengals. We discuss other underrated Bengals like Chase Brown, Samaje Perine, and Jordan Battle, and deep sleepers like Tahj Brooks and Bralyn Lux that the fanbase should pay attention to this summer.

DJ Turner enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2025 and a contract extension could be on the horizon for the Cincinnati Bengals this summer. Should Turner get a deal similar to Jaycee Horn or Derek Stingley Jr, and would the Bengals be comfortable with those potential cap hits in the future?

Jake Liscow and Joe Goodberry break down what DJ Turner does so well as a player, where he ranks amongst other NFL corners and how much an extension would cost the Bengals.

The Cincinnati Bengals have teased fans with play action reps in practice often in the Zac Taylor-Joe Burrow era. Dan Hoard is back to discuss how much the Bengals will expand that part of their playbook, DJ Turner's ascension, and share stories that only he can tell about recent Bengals greats A.J. Green, Geno Atkins, and Andrew Whitworth.

Plus, Jake Liscow and Joe Goodberry wrap up this week's 2-episode series with Dan discussing the big linebacker and offensive line depth questions the Bengals have to answer in training camp, and so much more!
