The Bengals have to improve their defense significantly this off season.

Part of that is bringing in Al Golden to coordinate the defense.

Let's talk about what changes we can expect from Golden's defense in the trenches.

You are Locked on Bengals, your daily Cincinnati Bengals podcast.

Part of the Locked-on Podcast Network, your team every day.

What on, Bengals fans, and welcome to another episode of the Locked-on Bengals podcast.

I'm your host, Jake.

Let's go along with your host, James Rapine.

Today we are joined by Mike Santagana who wrote up the detailed changes and

schematics that you can expect from all golden's defense over at benglestock dot com we're as always on the

lockdown podcast that we're covering your team every day on youtube and everywhere you get your podcast

so if you're new to the show you've maybe missed us talking about the T. Higgins franchise

tag the news that James Rapine had a couple of days ago.

Maybe you missed us talking about potential alternatives if they can't figure it out with

Trey Hendrickson yesterday as we're diving into some defensive scheme.

At least that's the plan for the next couple of days, depending on if we get interrupted by breaking news or not, like Ryan Rico signing a couple of days ago.

We had not had the opportunity to talk about that one.

So congrats to Ryan Rico, an exclusive rights-free agent for getting a two-year deal.

It's very similar to what the Bengals said with Jake Browning a year ago.

And today is going to be first of a two-parter.

We're going to focus on the front today.

And Mike, you broke this into two separate pieces when you wrote about it for Bengals talk.
