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 Locked-on Bengals podcast.

I'm your host Jake Liscoe.

You'll hear from James Rupine as we wrap up our conversation with Brian Callahan.

We finish up our conversation about running game and scheme.

We're going to start with that fold play.

We'll talk a lot about the offensive line.

We'll talk a little bit about Joe Burrow and the things that he needs to improve

coming off that knee injury and how confident Callahan is that those improvements will come.
