Locked On Bengals - Daily Podcast On The Cincinnati Bengals

Jake and James look ahead to this week's matchup in the trenches, where another tough pass rush will test the Bengals' flimsy OL. Then we're joined by PFF's Anthony Treash, who has done great work on Joe Burrow's 2019 LSU season and his transition to the NFL to talk about how the Bengals have handled him so far. Finally, we take a few listener questions, ranging from the Bengals' scheme departing from the Rams, comparing Joe Burrow's stats to other rookies, and some thoughts on how the Bengals are using the freshly-extended Joe Mixon.

James catches you up on the Bengals' injury notes and roster moves, then Jake takes a first pass at positional groups for the Browns-Bengals game, and walks away thinking the game largely comes down to trench play on both sides of the field - but for slightly different reasons. Another week, another elite edge rusher and questionmarks at the back end while the Bengals have the ball. And how will the Bengals attack a better offensive line in Cleveland than they faced against LA? Don't make too many conclusions about Week 1 - or Week 2 on short rest - but when you combine them, you'll get an idea of how the season will go.
