You are Locked-on Bengals, your daily Cincinnati Bengals podcast, part of the Locked-on

Podcast Network, your team every day.

What up Bengals fans and welcome to another episode of the Lockdown Bengals Podcast. I'm your

host, Jake Liskow, he's your host, James Rupin.

We're getting into a midweek mailbag, a mid-season mailbag, as the Bengals come off

their by week.

And we're off on Tuesday as well as they get back into the regular swing of things.

So we've got a bunch of questions from you to answer.

But before we get to the questions,

James, we also have a new updated official depth chart from the Cincinnati Bengals. And nothing

too surprising here. If you're looking on YouTube, we've got the depth chart pulled up for your

viewing pleasure. But if you're listening in your car and you're making us your first listen on your way to work,

well, we appreciate that very much. And if not, might as well get into the habit. We can tell you

to start telling your smart device again to play the lockdown Bengals podcast. But either way,

the notables on the depth chart here, on the offensive side of the ball, the very obvious

Hakeem Adenegi starting at right guard over Jackson Carmen, just as we all expected.

On the defensive side of the ball is, I guess, where things are a little bit more interesting.

First off, the thing that jumps out at me is Vernon Hargraves is buried on the depth chart, both at Nickel Corner and an

outside corner backing up. Well, he's third string. He's behind Jalen Davis at Nickel Corner and he's

behind Darius Phillips and presumably Trey Flowers on the outside. So the newcomer to the team, Vernon

Hargraves, some people thought he might push Eli Apple for playing time.

I'll tell you this, James.
