What up Bengals fans and welcome to another episode of the Lockdown Bengals podcast.

And today we're joined for the first of two episodes with Mike Potts,

that trade came together what the vision was for Lawrence the linebacker question comes up and

heck we even talk about the consensus topic that is all the rage right now.
