Advertise on podcast: Locked On Bengals - Daily Podcast On The Cincinnati Bengals

Dan Pitcher was quietly drawing interest from NFL teams after Tampa Bay hired Zac Robinson, and Troy Walters turned down the Bears for an offensive coordinator interview, so it looks like the key players on the Bengals' offense staff will return for 2026. Jake Liscow and James Rapien break down the ramifications as the Bengals also added Davis Koetter to the offensive staff, signaling small changes for the Bengals' position coaches. Will they make any additional hires on the defensive side of the ball? Plus, a small rant about the broken Pro Bowl process that saw Joe Flacco and Joe Burrow added late in the process.

Joe Flacco will always be fondly remembered by Bengals fans for coming over in a mid-season trade and far exceeding expectations with his on-field performance. Given that, and Joe Burrow's history, it would be wise for the Bengals to resign him for the 2026 season.  The Bengals have plenty of talent on offense, but depth is still important. Which position, on that side of the ball, should the Bengals focus on the most this offseason to insure that side of the ball can best withstand the war of attrition the NFL season is.  A big reason the Bengals have lost 12 one-score games over the last two seasons is the lack of a closer on defense. Is there someone on the Bengals defense who can emerge as someone that can make a play in close games, or is going outside the organization the way to remedy all the close losses?  Is this the year Ken Anderson and/or Willie Anderson finally get in the Pro Football Hall of Fame? Alex, Jake and Art discuss that and make their picks for the major awards at the NFL Honors.

Caleb Banks looked healthy at the Senior Bowl and suddenly is being discussed as the potential top defensive tackle in the 2026 NFL Draft Class. CBS Sports' lead draft analyst Mike Renner joins the guys to break down Banks and other Senior Bowl standouts including T.J. Parker, and we dive into a primer on the draft class. It's a good year to need a safety - and we get into the best role for Caleb Downs in the NFL - and linebacker, and the Bengals need both!

Trey Hendrickson's pending free agency really should never arrive - even with the bridge burned, the Cincinnati Bengals should obviously exercise their right to the franchise tag and prepare to tag-and-trade their star pass rusher before free agency. Jake Liscow and James Rapien break down why a trade makes so much more sense than trying to play a losing compensatory pick game, especially since they should be active enough in free agency to not qualify for any comp picks in 2027.

The Bengals' defense needs rebuilding across the board. There are starters needed on all three levels, including some levels with multiple starters needed. Alex Frank, Mike Santagana, and Coach Art Valero get into why the safety position should be priority No. 1 on the Bengals' offseason check list to rebuild their defense.  Great, game-changing safeties are made by having a dominant defensive front. But what's more important for the Bengals in 2026: a great pass rush or a great run-stopping defense?  Todd Monken being hired by the Cleveland Browns means all three AFC North teams that had head coach openings have been filled. Alex explains why it's not Zac Taylor being retained that's the pressure cooker of decisions. It's Taylor not making any changes to his coaching staff that is the pressure cooker of decisions that he and the Bengals need to be right on.  Tee Higgins and Joe Flacco have each been named to their first Pro Bowls. The guys explain how it justifies two decisions the Bengals got right in 2025.  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!  TurboTax For a limited time, you can have your taxes done by a local TurboTax expert for just $150 — all in, if a TurboTax expert didn’t file for you last year.

The Cincinnati Bengals have a tough decision to make when it comes to Chase Brown's future. Will they sign him an extension? Will he play out the final year of his contract? James Rapien and Jake Liscow discuss the dilemma with Brown, why an extension could make sense, but why they're hesitant to call Brown a "need" the same way Tee Higgins was last offseason. Speaking of Higgins, they react to the star receiver becoming a Pro Bowler and why he could go down as one of the best wide-outs in team history.   Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

The AFC North has filled out their coaching vacancies, so we have to ask if Zac Taylor is a better coach than Mike McCarthy, Jesse Minter, and Todd Monken. Jake Liscow and James Rapien break down the landscape of the AFC North with their new head coaches in place, and how Taylor stacks up with the rest of the division. The Bengals are selling a vision of continuity, but need to execute in a critical offseason to get back to contention and maximize every advantage they can in a year of change in their division.

Will the Cincinnati Bengals meet the standard set for them this offseason? If they do, it'll mean spending significant money toward top positions in free agency, including pass rusher. Jake Liscow and James Rapien wrap up how they see the big priorities for the Bengals to add talent, then dive into where they're concerned the Bengals might not see it the same way. We discuss whether they'll make a splash to try to find the next Trey Hendrickson at edge rusher, and fears that they may shy away from big numbers in free agency and big needs at linebacker due to how much they invested in Demetrius Knight Jr. and Barrett Carter.  Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

The Bengals have en elite quarterback and an elite wide receiver duo. In addition, regardless of how you view him, Zac Taylor played a large role in the Bengals going to Super Bowl LVI. With all of them in place going into 2026, can the Bengals recapture their 2021 magic and not only get to the Super Bow, but win the Super Bowl in 2026? Alex Frank, Jake Liscow, and Coach Art Valero discuss that poignant question.  Believe it or not, next season may be one of their last chances to get to and win the Super Bowl. It's not just internally, it's also the landscape of the NFL. Alex dives into a key difference between the AFC and NFC and why it be a troublesome reality of the Bengals.  Mike McCarthy is going to be the Pittsburgh Steelers head coach in 2026. Alex, Jake, and Art discuss if this is a good hire and what it means for the Bengals in rebuilding their defense this offseason.  Finally, the guys break down their key takeaways from Conference Championship Sunday and give their initial thoughts on Super Bowl LX.  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!  TurboTax For a limited time, you can have your taxes done by a local TurboTax expert for just $150 — all in, if a TurboTax expert didn’t file for you last year.

The Bengals may feel like their offensive starters are mostly in place for 2026, but that doesn't mean they can't get better on that side of the ball in an offseason that will be focused on fixing the defense. Jake Liscow and James Rapien break down the priorities for the Bengals on offense, starting with right guard (Dalton Risner), and including key backup positions like quarterback and swing tackle. We discuss potential improvements at tight end, wide receiver to complement Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase, and future needs as we piece together this year's offseason priority list on offense.  Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

The Cincinnati Bengals face a make-or-break offseason as their defensive deficiencies threaten another season with Joe Burrow. Can the front office land a game-changing pass rusher or transform the secondary with a top safety? Upgrades are needed at defensive end, defensive tackle, safety, and linebacker as Trey Hendrickson’s departure looms and depth remains a concern. Jake Liscow and James Rapien break down positional needs, debate draft and free agency priorities, and weigh the value of identity players for revitalizing Al Golden's defense. Will Cincinnati’s strategy deliver the defensive facelift required to contend in the AFC North? Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Andrei Iosivas has flashed potential from his rookie season, but he hasn't put all of that potential together just yet. Can he finally do that in 2026?  Over the last two seasons, we have seen the Bengals' tight ends have a larger role in the offense. It's been a key feature in Dan Pitcher's offense. With Pitcher increasingly likely to remain as the Bengals' offensive coordinator, could we see an even bigger role for the Bengals' tight ends in 2026?  The Baltimore Ravens are hiring Jesse Minter to be their next head coach. Alex explains how this is similar to when they hired Mike Macdonald to be their defensive coordinator after the 2021 season, but why he thinks this hire won't do more than the intention behind the Ravens hiring him.  Finally, the Bengals Squad guys give their picks for Championship Sunday and who they think will play in Super Bowl LX.   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!  TurboTax For a limited time, you can have your taxes done by a local TurboTax expert for just $150 — all in, if a TurboTax expert didn’t file for you last year.

When Cordell Volson got a player performance escalator raise in 2025, the Bengals reworked his contract to save a little money. They're set to have four players qualify for PPE raises this year as 2023 draftees have carved out big roles on their rookie contracts. Jake Liscow and James Rapien break down how the Bengals should approach raises for DJ Turner, Chase Brown, Jordan Battle, and Andrei Iosivas this off season. Plus, Tampa Bay went with Zac Robinson for offensive coordinator. That ends the Bengals' OC drama for now - at least unless Dan Pitcher's name emerges for another offensive coordinator job.

With the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills both changing head coaches this offseason, and Patrick Mahomes already a three-time Super Bowl champion with Andy Reid in Kansas City, Joe Burrow and Zac Taylor, who went to the Super Bowl four seasons ago, will go into their seventh season together in 2026. Have they already peaked? Are they destined to decline this season?  There's a five-year rule that states no quarterback/head coach tandem has won a Super Bowl past their fifth season together. How much does that apply to the Bengals with Joe Burrow with Zac Taylor as his head coach and offensive play-caller? Does it suggest that Joe Burrow's prime is being wasted?  When the Bengals lost Super Bowl LVI to the Los Angeles Rams four years ago, many thought the Bengals were in a better position long-term than the Rams. Unfortunately, the opposite is now a reality. What lessons can the Bengals learn from the Rams, and how hard is that loss to stomach now knowing what the Rams have done since then?  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!  TurboTax For a limited time, you can have your taxes done by a local TurboTax expert for just $150 — all in, if a TurboTax expert didn’t file for you last year.

As Dan Pitcher has completed his first interview with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Bengals are risking the continuity they planned for 2026. Should Zac Taylor have considered giving up offensive play calling duties to keep Pitch in the building? Jake Liscow and James Rapien break down the arguments on both sides of the play calling discussion, and update the latest on Tampa's offensive coordinator search that will impact the Bengals' future.
