Locked On Bengals

The guys break down how the reformed Cincinnati Bengals secondary has helped to transform their explosive play problem on defense, but they haven't gotten Ja'Marr Chase or the offense where we hoped it would be yet. We get into explosive play stats and reasons to hope it could improve as the season wears on.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.

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. There are a lot of positives to take away, but it's a gut-punch when you grasp defeat from the jaws of victory.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.

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

The guys break down the most interesting takeaways as the Cincinnati Bengals cut their roster to 53 players on Tuesday. UDFA LB Maema Njongmeta made the team after a strong camp, all of the 2024 draft picks made it, and they went heavy at tight end, safety, and defensive tackle. But it's called the "initial" 53-man for a reason; more moves could come, and as waiver targets are clear around the NFL, we discuss the next potential targets for the Bengals.  For your next listen, check out the Locked On Fantasy Football podcast.
