4.8 out of 5 stars from 2.2k ratings
  • Goodbye, so long…

    After so many years of listening to that pompous windbag James Rapien, he’s gone! Ding dong the witch is dead. Good riddance! It appears as if Jake will now be joined by Joe Goodberry, an actually intelligent individual who talks to fans instead of talking at fans.

  • Bengals Squad Show is Cheeks

    Absolutely love Jake and James on the normal daily show. But always disappointed when I come on and see that it’s a squad show instead. Just feels like rambling, bad quality mics, no flow or chemistry whatsoever. Not sure why this was even added in the first place. Turn this show back into a 5 star and get rid of the squad show!

  • Squad show is bad

    Jake and James are the best. Squad show is a podcast version of 50 year olds on Facebook who have no idea what is going on, complain about everything, and provide absolute zero value. Rather listen to nails on chalkboard.

  • Don’t mess w a good thing

    Jake and James do a great job! However the new “Bengals squad” shows are hot garbage. Overreactions and stupid hot takes. Please put those in a separate feed so I don’t have to unfollow Locked on Bengals, please!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

FANTASY EDGE: When To Draft Joe Burrow and Tee Higgins To WIN Your Fantasy League
Q: What's the best way to approach Bengals players in drafts given their high ADPs?
The guests suggest focusing on players you like and avoiding over-scrutinizing early/late positioning; target strong offenses and be willing to take calculated risks when the right value appears, rather than chasing every expensive star.
Orlando Brown Jr. BREAKS DOWN Cincinnati Bengals Offensive Line, Talks Under Center Offense
Q: What changed with the mid-zone run concept, and how did the linemen learn to execute it effectively?
They describe a learning curve that required time-on-task and consistent coaching calls; the group began to move bodies, execute double-teams, and turn and drive, leading to improved run-blocking.
Orlando Brown Jr. BREAKS DOWN Cincinnati Bengals Offensive Line, Talks Under Center Offense
Q: What makes the Bengals' pass protection unit the best, and how do the linemen work together on a weekly basis?
Orlando and the hosts discuss how the group emphasizes timing, footwork, and collective communication to execute protection schemes, noting that the unit has evolved to dominate in pass protection and adapt through weekly adjustments.
FROM THE BENGALS BOOTH: Dan Hoard on Joe Burrow & Play Action, DJ Turner, Lingering Questions
Q: Do you buy that this year they'll prioritize play action and under-center looks more than in recent seasons?
They'd like to, but they probably won't make it the primary identity; the continuity allows them to work on what they're not good at, like under-center looks, while still relying on what they do well from the shotgun.
Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins Set CHAMPIONSHIP Mindset for Bengals at OTAs
Q: What did the practice look like in OTAs and how did Burrow look throwing to his receivers?
Burrow was precise and sharp with passes to Chase and Higgins, showing good timing and trust in their routes, which signaled strong on-field chemistry developing early in the off-season.
