Locked On Bengals - Daily Podcast On The Cincinnati Bengals

Bengals running back Chase Brown has high expectations for the defense in 2026, boldly claiming it will reach "top 10, top 5" status. Can they really make that big of a jump in just one offseason?

Joe Goodberry and Jake Liscow analyze the possibility, considering Dexter Lawrence's impact along with Al Golden having a much better understanding of his personnel (like DJ Turner and Dax Hill starting at CB from the jump), and a solidified set of starters heading into the season.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said this past week that the starters will play "a little bit" in the Preseason opener Thursday night against the Detroit Lions. That means, we will see Joe Burrow and the Bengals' potentially explosive offense on the field for the first time since the 2025 season ended.

 

Alex Frank, Coach Art Valero, and FOX19 Sports Director Joe Danneman discuss what we can expect from the Bengals' starters and the rest of the team when they take the game field for the first time, in any capacity, in the 2026 season.

 

Fourth-round draft pick Colbie Young has been turning heads in Training Camp, perhaps igniting a battle between him and Andrei Iosivas for the WR3 spot. How close is this potential battle?

 

Speaking of the Bengals' draft this past April, let's take some stock into all of them and how they are performing in Training Camp. Just how big could Cashius Howell's role be this season?

 

Finally, Alex, Coach, and Joe play a game of Fact or Fiction on five premises on the Bengals going into the 2026 Season.

The Cincinnati Bengals have reached the "iron sharpens iron" portion of training camp after a back-and-forth, competitive practice on Sunday. Joe Burrow led the offense to two touchdown drives, while the defense collected a pair of three-and-outs in simulated drives.

Jake Liscow and Joe Goodberry break down how Burrow and Tee Higgins kept the offense moving, while Dexter Lawrence, Jonathan Allen, Demetrius Knight, and Barrett Carter were disruptive for a defense that continues to get to the quarterback.

Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals offense seemed to get back at the defense at Friday night's training camp practice. Burrow found Ja'Marr Chase for a downfield bomb, and Chase Brown busted off a 60-yard touchdown run.

Jake Liscow and Joe Goodberry break down the big plays from the offense on a day Dexter Lawrence inadvertently took Burrow to the ground, Dohnte Myers' continued ascension, and Jordan Battle's beautiful peanut punch to force a fumble during another eventful camp practice.

Just over a week into Training Camp, the Bengals' defense has been making a heavy impact and making the offense struggle. Is this a good thing?

 

Alex Frank and Coach Art Valero discuss how the Bengals' defense is shining and the offense is going through some growing pains, but better for it to happen in Training Camp than in Week 1.

 

Tyler Boyd was such a vital part of the Bengals' offense, especially on 3rd down. Who is that player now? Who is the go-to weapon on 3rd down? Crazy enough, though, is that the Bengals have been really good on 3rd down over the last two seasons.

 

Joe Burrow is, obviously, the most important Bengals' player. But after him, who are the most valuable Bengals players? Alex and Coach each give their top 10 most valuable Bengals coming into this season.

 

There are a lot of games that stand out on the Bengals' schedule. Alex and Coach each give their four games they believe will define the 2026 Bengals Season.
