The front office has to take some of this blame. I can’t believe how many good players they let walk and then to not pay Jamar before the season. C’mon now!
Ryan Rehkow has also exceeded my expectations. 9th on Average with 50.3 yards and 8th place on kicks in the 20. Plus a couple of his booming punts have been fun to watch. . . rarely a thing I get to say. So, if Ryan Rehkow wasn't mentioned, I would give him a thumbs up, also. Having said that, when the punter is in the top 5 bright spots on the team or close, that doesn't bode well for the rest of the team. No disrespect to Rehkow. *EDIT: Ah, I missed the Rehkow mention on my first watch. Well done, fellas. Beat me to it.
Every player not named Burrow, Chase, Brown, Brown Jr., Hill and Mims have failed to meet expectations. Is it coaching, is that why 47 out of 53 players have performed below expectations
Drew Sample has pretty much met expectations, which are pretty low; whereas Cody Ford has exceeded expectations, being a backup guard who has played better than I thought he would (at left tackle of all positions). Vonn Bell has played pretty much like I thought he would, same for Geno Stone. I didn't have high expectations for these guys. Vonn Bell was let go by the Panthers for a reason, and Geno Stone was a 7th round pick. Sheldon Rankins had a good game going against Cappa last year, but he's mostly just been an average player. I guess my point is that people evidently had unrealistic expectations for a lot of these guys. They're decent players but not great. Some of these guys just aren't starters.
You can say it…despite an absolutely horrible Oline. They don’t protect JB and don’t seem to care every time he gets drilled. I just hope they don’t get him hurt again.
Linemen immediately get worse when they come here. Not just 9ne or two guys....all of em. How Pollack still has a job...not just here, but anywhere, is beyond me.
CBT has the hardest position in the nfl. He used to be good but i think him and pratt needs to figure something out wether they need time off if they burnt out
It’s one thing to ruin your own franchise and legacy but it’s criminal to do it to Joe, Jamar and their fans. You’d think they’d want to get it done for Mike brown but I guess they’re too stubborn.
Definitely also thought stone would be better more physical player, he robs us this year on that two year deal we gave him ,hopefully he plays better on his last contract year next year!
Strictly from a record standpoint, the Bengals are about where I expected them to be. The only game I expected them to win that they lost was the game against the Patriots. I didn't expect them to beat the Ravens or the Chiefs, although they could have won those games, same for the games against the Commanders and the Chargers, but realistically I'm not surprised they lost those games. They are what they are. That's what happens when you have a series of mostly bad drafts.
Said this a week ago Cam and Mac have killed our season , (week later) season over because of Mac and Cam smh, crazy how just those two positions. I knew cam was not it once he got beat when we played KC on a go route
Ask yourself this question when Palmer and Whitworth left did they publicly air grievances with the coaching staff or ownership? This franchise has been looked at as not a serious franchise for a long long time well before Zac arrived. Only positive is Mike is pushing 90. The day he is gone he’ll be remembered as a frugal old loser who achieved nothing.
Sorry to bum u out man but Mike's daughter Katie Blackburn, has been doing the contract negations for the last couple of decades. All the upset players that got low balled and had to fight until the very last second to get a fair contract extension, unfortunately that was her and her husband's doing. I'm not sure if it can get worse under her leadership but I doubt it'll get much better
All was doing well before he got hurt. Chase Brown actually has improved IMO. Iosivas has been good. I blame coaches for underperformance of Gesicki, I don’t get trying to get Burton involved and not a guy that has caught many NFL TDs in the redzone. Jamar and Gesicki should be griddying together every week smh
In my opinion. I don’t think they will but I hope ownership and Tobin work out a deal to keep T Higgins. I don’t believe Burton is a T Higgins. Not to say he can’t work and become a good receiver but to me T is so much better.
Geno nick scott jr. I can't wait for geno nick Scott the 2nd at the start of next season since the brown family is too cheap and greedy to get good talent
Have a possible theory to ponder? Wonder if all the practice time strike zones and flop new kickoff rule consternation has somehow caused a league wide unintended consequence of now the FG kickers are struggling? No real data to spout out but too many coincidences in life is NOT a coincidence...if it was just Penny Mac id think no way. But with HOF tucker and our sb kicker Elliott and others afflicted am wondering???
Halfway thru...did someone in The Locked on Bengals forget about..our first round pick from UGA?? Hes the massive dude on the right wearing Willie Andersons jersey? And to make sure we get in a CALAIS CAMPBELL reference our dude is alot younger comparatively?? WHO AM I??
Spoke too soon...James DID get in his daily CALAIS CAMPBELL love!! Is the campbell side of the family coming to the Rapien Thanksgiving dinner? Bringing pumpkin pie??
I don't know who the kicking coach is, not sure if that's Simmons responsibility but Mac has gotten worse every year.. How is that not a coaching issue??
You had a potential hof safety with jesse bates and let him walk. Sheldon Rankins had one good game against the bengals shitty o-line and someone in the bengals organization was like holy shit we gotta get this dude in here. Volsen should have been replaced in the off season weakest guard in the nfl
How bout changing name of this show to LOCKED ON CALAIS CAMPBELL...instead of 5 minutes on Calais Campbell ...could devote 30-35 minutes on him?? Why settle?
Burrow has been consistently missing guys on go balls so I’d hesitate to say burtons the problem because he’s missed multiple ones to tee and Jamarr as well. The weird 1 handed attempt in the end zone was wack tho.
Why does McPherson's kicks have so much fade left on them? Anders Carlson kicked a 58 yarder that hugs the left post and stayed inside the goal post from start to finish. What is specifically causing that much fade on the kick?
Justin Smith, Whitworth, Zeitler, Bates, Reader. History repeats itself. This FO needs to change the way they look at building a team. You don't let star players go to sign players like Hubbard, Rankins or Stone. If you have a good player, you release role players to make room for that star player because they can't be replaced.
Credit to Jake and JAMES for showing some backbone and calling out the coaching staff and front office.
The front office has to take some of this blame. I can’t believe how many good players they let walk and then to not pay Jamar before the season. C’mon now!
James has all the smoke for players but kid gloves for the front office
Play that Geno Stone highlight film..I have a few seconds!
You’ll have 2 seconds to spare so take your time
Has Trey Hendrickson met or exceeded?
Ryan Rehkow has also exceeded my expectations. 9th on Average with 50.3 yards and 8th place on kicks in the 20. Plus a couple of his booming punts have been fun to watch. . . rarely a thing I get to say. So, if Ryan Rehkow wasn't mentioned, I would give him a thumbs up, also.

Can’t believe you guys didn’t mention Ja’Mar Chase exceeding expectations! He’s on his way to a triple crown season? 🤔
Every player not named Burrow, Chase, Brown, Brown Jr., Hill and Mims have failed to meet expectations. Is it coaching, is that why 47 out of 53 players have performed below expectations
Tee higgins if he's healthy though. Agree with the rest
Drew Sample has pretty much met expectations, which are pretty low; whereas Cody Ford has exceeded expectations, being a backup guard who has played better than I thought he would (at left tackle of all positions).
Vonn Bell has played pretty much like I thought he would, same for Geno Stone. I didn't have high expectations for these guys.

I guess my point is that people evidently had unrealistic expectations for a lot of these guys. They're decent players but not great. Some of these guys just aren't starters.
Agree with Drew Sample...even though he shouldn't have been a 2nd round pick... only for our front office??
Trey Hendrickson on D is a
Beast. Leads nfl in sacks u can’t leave him off the list
You can say it…despite an absolutely horrible Oline. They don’t protect JB and don’t seem to care every time he gets drilled. I just hope they don’t get him hurt again.
I've never seen an o line this disconnected from reality. Just sad to watch that they don't even back up their meal ticket
Linemen immediately get worse when they come here. Not just 9ne or two guys....all of em. How Pollack still has a job...not just here, but anywhere, is beyond me.
Can you talk to the front office about putting the Bengal back on 50 yard line? It's way cooler than the B
Who cares about that?
The expectation vs reality on Burton, by the fan base, has to be the biggest gap this year.
CBT has the hardest position in the nfl. He used to be good but i think him and pratt needs to figure something out wether they need time off if they burnt out
It’s one thing to ruin your own franchise and legacy but it’s criminal to do it to Joe, Jamar and their fans. You’d think they’d want to get it done for Mike brown but I guess they’re too stubborn.
I don't think Burton shows the effort to try to get some of these passes kind of half ass
Definitely also thought stone would be better more physical player, he robs us this year on that two year deal we gave him ,hopefully he plays better on his last contract year next year!

@@natej84can you tell me Mike Brown aint involved at all
@@micray143 that's our only hope. That Katie has to answer to Mike and that's why she low balled all those players and drug out contract talks so much

Cam Taylor brit is effective just not as a cb1
How about we just talk about Evan by his given name and not a nickname? I can watch Bart Scott on ESPN if I want to hear Bengals trashed.
Unless they get a competent defensive end to help put consistent pressure on the opposing quarterback the secondary will continue to struggle.
Steve spags as HC?
In my opinion. I don’t think they will but I hope ownership and Tobin work out a deal to keep T Higgins. I don’t believe Burton is a T Higgins. Not to say he can’t work and become a good receiver but to me T is so much better.
Geno Scott 😆
Geno nick scott jr. I can't wait for geno nick Scott the 2nd at the start of next season since the brown family is too cheap and greedy to get good talent
@ 😀😀
Jamie Pratt
Didn't Chad and TJ work with Jermaine Burton leading up to the draft? If we put any stock in that we probably shouldn't next time.

It’s def something off or something more sinister going on in Vegas
Halfway thru...did someone in The Locked on Bengals forget about..our first round pick from UGA?? Hes the massive dude on the right wearing Willie Andersons jersey? And to make sure we get in a CALAIS CAMPBELL reference our dude is alot younger comparatively?? WHO AM I??

Time to call Bill
Cam Taylor Britt b n the clubs all night n turn around n play im not surprised
They need to cut this loser
Can't be throwing your career away over the Cincinnati nightlife 😂
it was a pic of him ina club rolling up like dude wtf u don’t deserve it u suck man😭
@ lol where can I c this pic
I don't know who the kicking coach is, not sure if that's Simmons responsibility but Mac has gotten worse every year.. How is that not a coaching issue??
The defense backfield is horrible!!!!!!!!
Too late now with all the injuries...but a starting safety in 2025 SHOULD be?????....CTB. Like Dax he was-is in wrong spot
Burton=Ross right now. Hope he changes his ways.
You had a potential hof safety with jesse bates and let him walk.
Sheldon Rankins had one good game against the bengals shitty o-line and someone in the bengals organization was like holy shit we gotta get this dude in here.
Volsen should have been replaced in the off season weakest guard in the nfl
Rankins😢
MissingMac has the paid yips! Married, child, paid yips!
Tee Higgins gone after this season
Good. He only shows up for half a season anyway. He's ALWAYS injured.
Yea Burton tryin to catch the ball wit one hand was zoning
Wym? I missed this play. Genuinely curious
@@jd8606 when burrow threw it to him n the end zone he just went up with one hand, being lazy n cute
@TaylorPort ill definitely go and re-watch burtons plays
I could see it being true. I do know that burrow and Burton have been out of rhythm for sure
How bout changing name of this show to LOCKED ON CALAIS CAMPBELL...instead of 5 minutes on Calais Campbell ...could devote 30-35 minutes on him?? Why settle?
Jamaica Pratt is garbage he's slow and misses a lot of tackles please look at the games
Burrow has been consistently missing guys on go balls so I’d hesitate to say burtons the problem because he’s missed multiple ones to tee and Jamarr as well. The weird 1 handed attempt in the end zone was wack tho.
Dax hill was awful he misses so many tackles
Why does McPherson's kicks have so much fade left on them? Anders Carlson kicked a 58 yarder that hugs the left post and stayed inside the goal post from start to finish. What is specifically causing that much fade on the kick?
I swear I think it's the holder, looks like he slightly leans the ball towards himself
