Locked On Bengals - Daily Podcast On The Cincinnati Bengals

Very informative show! Love the post game shows the most! Can Jake get a little better microphone perhaps?

For fun and informative Bengals talk. Jake and James do a great job of staying on top of the daily Bengals happenings, and bring in smart and knowledgeable football people to augment the show with segments on film study, the draft, free agency in all aspects, and even the workings of the salary cap. There are other good Bengals podcasts, of course, but Jake and James are my “ first listen” for all things Bengals.

very bad show today, had to turn it off. teams have plans for a player at the time of the draft and then sometimes plans have to change due to current circumstances. it felt like you guys were just rambling on to fill time.

I used to enjoy this podcast, and listened every day. But it has become cringeworthy and almost unlistenable, for one main reason: James Rapien. Now I’m going to be bullish on this when I say this podcast should be renamed The I Think Podcast because of how many times each episode James says I think. If I want someone’s opinions about anything or everything Bengals, I’ll talk to my friends or any Bengals fan. But when I listen to a Bengals podcast I expect facts, not opinions. And unfortunately I think James doesn’t get facts and only has his opinions. Along with that, I think he’s such a self-important narcissist that tries to take credit for anything and everything he does, and has to be right all the time (the amount of times he “corrects” Jake in such a demeaning, petty way is just terrible). Spoiler alert…nothing James says is ever a spoiler. Spoiler…I could care less if James thinks he could beat a “washed up” Chad Johnson. This podcast is at its best when Jake takes the lead with other guests like Sans or Joe G. Let Jake go and do an NBA podcast since that’s what he loves most, and let actual Bengals sources professionally take over.
