In The Trenches with Dave Lapham

Cris Collinsworth | Cincinnati Bengals vs Buffalo Bills Preview

NBC NFL color analyst and former Cincinnati Bengal Cris Collinsworth joins us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham. Lap and CC talk about the Bengals huge win in Week 8 vs the San Fransico 49ers and preview their huge matchup in Week 9 against the Buffalo Bills. 
"The Bengals are back" has been the talk around the Bengals this week after their impressive win against the San Francisco 49ers, and Lap and CC agree. It's hard not to believe after the performance the Bengals put out last Sunday, playing their most complete game since their divisional playoff win against the Bills last season. Joe Burrow looked completely healthy for the first time this season as he threw three touchdowns and only four incompletions. But the Bengals Week 9 matchup may be their hardest test to date as they welcome in one of the top AFC contenders the Buffalo Bills. It's a rematch of the AFC Divisional game from last season where the Bengals knocked out the Bills winning in Buffalo 27-10. This Sunday's game will also be the first time this Bills team is returning to Cincinnati since the tragic Damar Hamlin injury. The Jungle will be bumping for Sunday Night Football this week for The Cincinnati Bengals vs The Buffalo Bills.

Cincinnati Bengals Defense Tackle DJ Reader | That’s The Bengals We All Know and Love

Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle DJ Reader joins us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham. Lap and DJ talk about the Bengals huge win in Week 8 vs the San Fransico 49ers and their huge matchup in Week 9 against the Buffalo Bills. 
DJ and this Bengals defense had another great performance in Week 8, facing an elite offense in the 49ers and holding them to just 17 points. The Bengals held Christian McCaffery, the best running back in the league, to just 54 yards rushing and DJ was a huge part of that success like he has been all season. It was a huge test for this Bengals team that started slow to start the season but has caught fire again winning their last three games. With Joe Burrow looking back to 100% the sky is the limit for the Bengals who face another top-tier team in Week 9. It's a rematch of the AFC Divisional game from last season where the Bengals knocked out the Bills winning in Buffalo 27-10. This Sunday's game will also be the first time this Bills team is returning to Cincinnati since the tragic Damar Hamlin injury. The Jungle will be bumping for Sunday Night Football this week for The Cincinnati Bengals vs The Buffalo Bills.

Dave Lapham | Keys To Bengals Victory Over The San Francisco 49ers

The Cincinnati Bengals enter Week 8 of the NFL season, coming off their bye week and looking to get their fourth win and hold a winning record for the first time this season.
Standing in their way is the once-hot team in the NFL, the San Francisco 49ers, who started the season with five straight victories but have suffered back-to-back losses to the Cleveland Browns and Minnesota Vikings, along with seeing injuries start to pile up with receiver Deebo Samuel already ruled out, one of the best offensive linemen in the NFL, Trent Williams questionable, and quarterback Brock Purdy limited while going through the NFL concussion protocol.
The Bengals fully understand fighting injuries but look to be the healthiest they've been all season after a week of rest.
Now, the Bengals look to add another win over an NFC West squad in the 49ers and know a win would help show they've turned the corner from Joe Burrow's calf injury that slowed the offense, leaving the defense having to pick up the slack as was shown against the Seattle Seahawks in Week Six.
How much better is Burrow since his last game against the Seahawks?
Will the Bengals be able to open the offense up and show all the changes they planned before Burrow's injury?
Come get In The Trenches with Dave Lapham, presented by First Star Logistics, to get Lap's take on the keys the Bengals need to achieve if they want to return to Cincinnati with a winning record for the first time this season before getting into a stretch of games that could quickly put an end to any thoughts of making another run in the playoffs.

Cincinnati Bengals Cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt | ”I’m Just Getting Started”

Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt joins us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham. Lap and Cam talk about his stellar year so far and how he thinks he's just getting started. 
Cam has had a great start to his sophomore season tailing two huge interceptions in the Bengals past two wins. His interception against the Cardinals was his first career touchdown and it was a pivotal play that led the Bengals to their second win of the season. In the game against the Seahawks, Cam had his biggest assignment of the season stopping the Seahawks high powered offense. He was primarily matched up against one the best receivers in football in DK Metcalf. Cam was up for the task holding DK to just four catches and coming away with one of the biggest plays of the game with his interception on Geno Smith and returning it 25 yards to set up the Bengals for a field goal that proved be to the deciding score of the game. Cam's great season is just getting started and he will have another big test this week as the Bengals go on the road to face the San Francisco 49ers.

Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan returned to In The Trenches with Dave Lapham, presented by First Star Logistics, to talk about where the Bengals offensive attack is at as the Bengals looked to take advantage of their bye week before making a West Coast trip to battle the San Francisco 49ers.
Coach Callahan discusses the overall play of the Bengals offense as quarterback Joe Burrow continues to fight back from the calf injury that has hampered him since the start of training camp, the revamped offensive line, and how defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo's defense has helped the Bengals when the offense was unable to complete their task to close out their game against the Seattle Seahawks.
The coach also talked about the Bengals' next opponent, the 49ers, who play on Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings before the Bengals on Sunday.

Cincinnati Bengals QB Coach Dan Pitcher | Joe Burrow Is Back & Locked In

Cincinnati Bengals quarterbacks coach Dan Pitcher joins us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham to discuss Joe Burrow and the Bengals' impressive Week 6 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. 
Coach Pitcher out of all the coaches within the Bengals organization has the closest relationship with Joe Burrow. He knows better than anyone how Joe is feeling physically and mentally. Coach Pitcher has nothing but praise for his star QB, knowing that he isn't at 100% he is impressed with the progress he has made week to week. Joe had a fast start to the Bengals last game against the Seahawks scoring two touchdowns on the first two drives but then Joe and the offense slowed down and only scored three points the rest of the game. Luckily the defense stepped up big time closing the game with back-to-back red zone stops in the fourth quarter. Coach Pitcher and Joe know they have a big test coming out of the bye with the 49ers, one of the league's best defenses. 
We want to thank Coach Pitcher for always being a fantastic guest and for joining us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham brought to you by First Star Logistics.

The Bengal's defense had their most impressive performance of the season so far giving up only 14 points, recording four sacks, and forcing two turnovers. Cam Taylor Britt made one of the biggest plays of the game for the second straight week with an interception of Geno Smith in the third quarter.  Trey Hendrickson and Sam Hubbard closed the game out with two huge red zone stops in the fourth quarter and Lou rewarded the whole starting defensive line; Trey Hendrickson, Sam Hubbard, DJ Reader, and BJ Hill with the "game brick" for the win something the defense does after every win. With the offense struggling in the second half Lou's defense needed a stellar performance for the Bengals to pull out the win and that's exactly what they did.

Dave Lapham Postgame Call | Cincinnati Bengals Defense Saves The Day In 17-13 Win Over Seahawks

Things cooled off after a hot start by the Cincinnati Bengals offense and quarterback Joe Burrow, much like the weather in Southwest Ohio did over the weekend.
However, defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo and his defense heated up the Paycor Stadium turf, helping the Bengals to a needed 17-13 victory with multiple defensive stands in the red zone.
With the Bengals getting pressure from Sam Hubbard, B.J. Hill, DJ Reader, and Trey Hendrickson and solid secondary play from Cam Taylor-Britt, Mike Hilton, and others, the defense was the MVP, along with the over 66,000 screaming fans, making it hard for the Seattle Seahawks offense to score the winning touchdown and keeping the Bengals with a losing record heading into their bye week.
Now, Zac Taylor and company have dug themselves out of their early hole for a second straight season with their sight set on having another strong stretch run in the AFC North with a goal of making another run in the playoffs.
In this In The Trenches with Dave Lapham Postgame Call with Dave Berk, presented by First Star Logistics, Lap discusses the events of the game, looks ahead at what the bye week can provide the Bengals, and what is facing them when they return to action against the San Francisco 49ers when they return.

Dave Lapham | Keys To Bengals Victory Over Seattle Seahawks

After starting the season 0-2, the Cincinnati Bengals have won two of their past three games and are looking to add a third win Sunday afternoon to even their record to 3-3 before hitting the bye week.
The Seahawks watched what the Bengals did last Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals as they were on their bye week. They know Ja'Marr Chase had a record-setting day and was named AFC Offensive Player Of The Week for his performance. 
They also know Joe Burrow looked more like a 100 percent Joe Burrow than the one struggling with a calf injury.
They also know defensive end Trey Hendrickson is one of two players in the NFL with 6+ sacks each season from 2020-2023.
The Bengals know quarterback Geno Smith continues to play at a high level, and running back Kenneth Walker III and receiver DK Metcalf can make big plays.
Dave Lapham is back with his Keys To Bengals Victory over the Seattle Seahawks as the Bengals look to build upon their performance from last Sunday.
What will the Bengals need to do on both sides of the ball? Lap has the latest on his thoughts on how the Bengals can even their record before looking to make another run in the final eleven weeks of the 2023 season.

Cincinnati Bengals Wide Receiver Coach Troy Walters | Ja’Marr Is The Best Receiver In The NFL

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver coach Troy Walters joins us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham, to talk about how his receivers have stepped up to the plate to start the season and Jamarr's recording breaking performance against the Cardinals. 
With the absence of Tee Higgins for Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals the Bengals receivers needed to step up in a must-win game and that's exactly what they did. Starting with the obvious standout, Jamarr Chase had a field day on Sunday setting a Bengals reception record with 15 catches for 192 yards and three touchdowns. It was awesome to see Joe Burrow and Jamarr reconnect as they did for the past two seasons. Jamarr won AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his dominant performance but another Bengals receiver played a pivotal role in the Bengals Week 5 win, Trenton Irwin. Irwin had eight catches for 60 yards and also had some great punt returns to set up the Bengals offense with great field position. Irwin is used to this role, doing the same last season when Jamarr had to miss time with a hip injury he has proved to be a valuable piece to this Bengals team. With Tee's availability still up in the air for Week 6 against the Seahawks the Bengals wide receivers will need to step up again in what feels like another must-win heading into the bye.

Cincinnati Bengals DC Lou Anarumo ”Proud Of Our Guys But We Have To Be Better Against The Seahawks”

Cincinnati Bengals defense coordinator Lou Ananrumo joins us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham to discuss the Bengals' impressive Week 5 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. 
It was the Ja'Marr Chase show on offense for the Bengals in Week 5 but Coach Anarumo's defense also had a very impressive game. The Bengals had their first touchdown of the season as Cam Taylor Britt picked off Josh Dobbs right after the Cardinal's defense had a goal-line stop against Joe Burrow and company. It was the biggest play of the game as the Bengals took the lead heading into halftime and then kept the momentum going with their first drive of the second half with a 63-yard bomb to Ja'Marr Chase. Josh Dobbs has been a huge surprise around the league this season but Lou and the defense gave him everything he could handle, forcing him to throw his first two interceptions of the season. The Bengals also had three sacks on Dobbs led by Trey Hendrickson who totaled 2.5 pushing his season total to six which is second in the NFL. Lou and the Bengals defense will have their hands full in Week 6 facing a high-powered offense in the Seattle Seahawks but Lou is up for the challenge in what seems like another must-win to keep the Bengals season alive.

Dave Lapham Postgame Call | Cincinnati Bengals Joe Burrow & Ja’Marr Chase Roll To 34-20 Win

After a week of questions surrounding Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals lack of offense against the Tennessee Titans, Burrow found his magic that included a 63-yard touchdown pass to Ja'Marr Chase as the Bengals put it on the Arizona Cardinals 34-20 on the road.
Burrow, who would post a 108.1 passer rating while going 36 of 46 for 317 yards and three touchdowns, would find Chase 15 times for 192 yards and all three scores. The 15 receptions set a new franchise record, breaking the 25-year record of Carl Pickens by two receptions.
Also playing a significant role was receiver Trenton Irwin, with eight receptions for 60 yards and some key punt returns as the Bengals play without rookie Charlie Jones.
But it might have been the play of the defense that really set the tone for the day as Cam Taylor-Britt came up with a massive pick-six after the offense failed to punch in a red zone drive that ended on the one-yard line and pressure from defensive end Trey Hendrickson who posted 2.5 sacks on the day.
Following the game, Dave Lapham joined Dave Berk for his traditional postgame phone call about the Bengals win and its significance to a team facing an uphill battle.
