Locked On Bengals - Daily Podcast On The Cincinnati Bengals

The Bengals' first-team offense played two series Thursday night in their first Preseason game against the Detroit Lions. There were positives, but the offensive line left a BIG concern.

 

Alex Frank, Coach Art Valero, Mike Santagana, and Evan Stacy discuss how concerned Bengals' fans should be about the offensive line even with all five starters returning.

 

Joe Burrow was under center the first drive of the game. Progress is being made, and there's one thing that going under center is going to allow this Bengals' offense to hopefully be this season.

 

On defense, the secondary showed its playmaking abilities. Up front, the Bengals' defensive line showed its depth and ability to get into the backfield.

 

Finally, Alex, Coach, Mike, and Evan reveal their players their stocks are up in but also down in after the first Preseason game.

Joe Burrow took two hits too many as the Cincinnati Bengals kicked off their preseason by repping the under center part of the playbook. But it wasn't all bad, as they found run game success, easy yards, and an explosive pass for Ja'Marr Chase.

Jake Liscow and Joe Goodberry discuss Orlando Brown Jr's ugly rep that led to a Burrow hit, and impressive rookie showings from Cashius Howell, Colbie Young, Landon Robinson, Brian Parker, and Jack Endries.

The Cincinnati Bengals are playing their stars in a home preseason debut on Thursday, including Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Dexter Lawrence. We'll get our first look at the remade Bengals' defense and an offense that has been focused on working under center against Detroit's backups on Thursday.

Jake Liscow and Joe Goodberry also discuss Tuesday's practice, including a Jordan Battle interception and Boye Mafe sack against under center plays, Connor Lew getting some run with the starters, and injury updates as minor bumps and bruises have accumulated.

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.
