Tre Hendrickson is no dummy and has class by putting his team first

[@0831fabian]

love our wr depth

[@getbrainseeds]

when they gave burrow hair he looked like one of the lost boyz from that old vampire movie lol

[@ronaldschilling4753]

I would definitely run some two TE sets...

[@ckwarriors2023]

Who Dey!!!

[@mattmiller1223]

Stop dancing James. Lol

[@williamhouse8602]

Who Dey 🤘🤘🤘

[@charlesh1735]

McKinley Jackson has been putting in some work now! It’s good to see a rookie nose tackle come in and hit the ground running. We have big shoes to fill with the absence of DJ Reader,so far I really like what I see with MCkinley Jackson.

[@tmartin8888]

Jackson’s not a nose tackle, no matter how much people want him to be. Maybe he can develop into a decent NT, but right now he’s a larger 3 tech with a good first step and inconsistent play as a run stopper and as a pass rusher. The knock on Jackson, and the reason most consider him a reach, is that he’s never had a consistent anchor vs double teams.

[@NathanDean79]

Charlie Jones is pretty dam good with a RaS of 8.54 Burtons is 9.57 so they are both athletic as hell not as much as Iosivas. Andrei Iosivas has one of the highest RAS scores in the entire NFL. Its 9.96. Charlie Jones primary role will probably be punt and kick returns. Yea im sure he will catch some passes to but if im the coach kick and punt returns are his lrimary job. Iosivas and Burton next year I expect to be WR 2 and 3. I expect in 2025 for Burton to be the 2 and Iosivas to be the 3. Irwin and Jones will get some catches too. Especially if there is an injury somewhere. Right now this year with Tee Higgins still on the team I believe we have the best WR room in the NFL. I just have a feeling that Burton is going to be dam good. He was waiting for his shot and he got it. I think Burton can do a lot of what Chase does. They are practically identical in size. Chase weighs about 5 or 6 pounds more but they are the same height at 6’. Chase is a little closer to 6’1’’ than Burton is.

[@nkyshaolin]

Just pitch count. I would keep him very limited until game day

[@theregulardude1276]

We have a good wide receiver problem So much competition. I wish it was like that for the other skill positions!

[@skenodaboss6104]

Tee Higgins is Jesse Bates the 2nd

[@quantumfootball]

Don’t you mean the 4th since the former Bengal was Jessie Bates III?

[@HealedBySpirit]

Darn...Burrow hasn't worked on stronger hair. 😂😅😂 It's ok. He's looking A LOT bigger and stronger. Hopefully this enhances hus durability! A full season with a healthy Joey B could mean a trip to the Super Bowl!

[@chi-zgamer7999]

Who Dey everybody!!

[@deronmalikhassanbey2604]

James, stop hate"n on Burton. Charlie jones just might be on kick returns. And it doesn't matter how many times you say Charlie jones. It will not convince us that he is better than Burton. James is in luv wit charlie j.

[@HermsWorldWide]

Charlie Jones is medicore at best. And turns 26 already. Was a whiff pick last year, and most knew it.

[@no2_justin]

Where was he hating? Point me to the timestamp. I just heard him asking questions. No one knows how the depth chart is going to shake out yet. I think James has been pretty bullish on Burton so far. This “hating” comment comes out of nowhere.

[@LockedOnBengals]

Yep. No clue how I’m “hating” on Burton lmao

[@ryanrose8712]

Dude get off the pipe

[@deronmalikhassanbey2604]

I can see James really liked that the Bengals pick a guy who is average at best. 25 at the draft, so he had an extra year of school. He is only 5ft 11in . He can't break a shoe string tackle.. and not fast. Scored 1 touch.It wasn't from a pass .it was a punt.Lmao. It blows me away how you(James) are stuck on a average dude. It must mean you and Charlie are BROTHERS🎵🎶🎤

[@user-xm3li5cb4p]

WHO DEY!

[@marksandlin2656]

I have a question. Why has the podcast shows stopped updating on Amazon music? Been listening to this podcast everyday on the way to work for 2 plus years on Amazon Music.

[@LockedOnBengals]

Amazon music is having some sorta issue. Maybe try deleting the app and redownloading?

[@marksandlin2656]

I tried that. Didn't work. Not going to stop listening. Just thought you guys should know. You may be losing listeners because of this. KZbin is great in all, but when driving it certainly isn't the easiest to play

[@samturnerii6062]

That's the thing. Chase is not there either but people are criticizing Tee, who is not under contract.

[@elmalloc]

Jake's hair getting taller and taller I need whatever pomade he is utilizing.

[@TheyCallMeRabbit98]

It’s trying to reach maximum sunlight

[@AnubisLAW]

We need Joe Burrow with Jake Liscow hair!

[@trentt6622]

I know you guys do a ton of research. But, I don’t see how you can watch last season and pencil in Charlie jones as the likely starter in the slot. I think it’s a platoon with Irwin getting the start.

[@snave59]

Niether one of those will start.Jermaine Burton will be the starter.

[@larryabsten-pz5bg]

Why does rake in have to be so hostile???

[@skenodaboss6104]

Tee Higgins going to come back dropping balls again like last year

[@rajeshnagrani7313]

Maaaaaaan he sure dropped A LOT ! It was wierd though ! It feels like the Bengals WR group on a whole last year dropped way more than normal rt ?

[@ronaldschilling4753]

All 3 starting WR had some key drops throughout the season... Tyler Boyed who had always been sure handed dropped a few costly ones... But if you look back over 6-7 seasons Tyler Boyed had been the number 1 target on 3rd down conversions even back to Andy Dalton's time with Cincy

[@steverino015]

"taking off" is to be expected..... so in other words, hJoe Borrow is right on schedule......... in this case, no news is good news

[@bradridiman3279]

idk how tf u think tanner may not make the team he should be TE #2 imo

[@HoldenBroussard]

Burton clearly wideout 3 lol I like Jones but he mainly slot burton better than all these guys after jamarr and tee

[@martinoamello3017]

OMG! What would I do without a hair update? Meh..It's not that interesting.. Hair is hair.

[@Joe-zk7ps]

It could be...completely meaningless

[@IOSARBX]

Locked On Bengals, You're fantastic! Let's be friends and have fun!

[@natej84]

Tee's agent stays on Schefter's ass,taking him tweet obvious stuff about Higgins each step of the way

[@ironmanxrp4980]

Burton = 3ed round = your new slot wr... 0 drops speed and routing people up and played amd competed againat the best college talent.. thats it.. stop the charlie capp... its burton jones irwin... Charlie is nice bit he'll be behind Burton. He was hurt a lot last year but offers a great option after burton and for special teams
