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 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.

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.

Dave Lapham | Keys To Bengals Victory Over Arizona Cardinals
Friday Oct 06, 2023
Friday Oct 06, 2023
The Cincinnati Bengals head West this weekend to take on the Arizona Cardinals (1-3), with both teams looking for their second win of the season.
Does the news of Joe Burrow being removed from the Bengals Injury Report mean he'll be 100 percent capable of doing everything that makes him a special player?
Or will we see the player who struggled to leave the pocket and complete a full arsenal of throws?
Will Tee Higgins be able to play after missing practice most of this season?
This game begins a three-game stretch against NFL West teams, including the Seattle Seahawks (3-1) and San Francisco 49ers (4-0), games the Bengals will not be favored in now.
The series between the Bengals and Cardinals is tied at six games each, with the Cardinals having won the two most recent meetings.
Instead of the Bengals facing Kyler Murray at quarterback, they'll see a familiar face in Joshua Dobbs, who is playing solid football. Former Steelers running back James Conner is leading the way with 318 rushing yards, and receivers Marquise Brown and Michael Wilson have become the top two targets.
The Bengals' defense will look to rebound as well after a subpar performance against the Tennessee Titans last weekend but will need help from the offense to keep them off the field to stay fresh.
A lot is on the line in this game as the Bengals look to save the direction the season has taken so far, and Lap dives into all the critical Keys needed for the Bengals to earn their second victory of the season.

Father of The Bengals QB Jimmy Burrow joins us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham to talk about Joe Burrow's health and struggles and why this week 5 matchup against the Cardinals is a must-win.
Joe Burrow has been the biggest storyline for the Bengals in the 2023 season and for good reason. Coming into the season Joe was in the best shape of his life and ready for an MVP-caliber season but that all changed when he scrambled out of the pocket in practice and strained his calf in the process. Since then nothing has been the same for the Bengals, limping into the season by starting 0-2 and now having maybe their worst loss in three seasons against the Tennessee Titans. Now facing a must-win game on the road against the 1-3 Arizona Cardinals all of Bengals fandom is wondering will Joe Burrow be able to step up to the plate and bring home a win.
We want to thank Jimmy for coming on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham brought to you by First Star Logistics we always appreciate his time as a recurring guest!

Cincinnati Bengals legendary quarterback Ken Anderson joins us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham to discuss the Bengals two new inductees into the Bengals Ring of Honor and how the Bengals can bounce back after their 1-3 start.
After the Monday night victory over the Los Angeles Rams, a lot of fans thought the Bengals were back on track but that quickly changed after Sunday's 27-3 loss against the Tennessee Titans. The drive of the game was the only bright spot for the Bengals as they drove down the field with ease and looked like the Bengals of the last two seasons but after that, it was all Tennessee. Joe and the offense couldn't get anything going after that first drive as the Titan's front seven wreaked havoc on Joe the entire game. The Bengals' defense also had one of their worst performances in recent memory giving up big play after big play which resulted in Tennessee having their best offense performance of the season. 1-3 is a bad place to be in the NFL but the Bengals have a chance to bounce back as they go on the road again to face the 1-3 Arizona Cardinals in what feels like a must-win game in Week 5.

Cincinnati Bengals legendary quarterback Ken Anderson joins us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham to preview the Bengals week 4 matchup against the Tenessee Titans.
Ken and Lap dive deep into the keys to success for the Bengals as they travel on the road and face a familiar opponent in the Tennessee Titans. The Bengals are 3-0 against the Titans in the last three years including the big upset in the AFC Divisional round in the 2021 season. The Titans are never a pushover though with one of the best head coaches in the league in Mike Vrabel. The Bengals know it's going to be a hard-fought battle, especially when you are playing on the road. A lot of focus will be on Joe Burrow's health and so far this week he hasn't had any setbacks for Sunday's game as Joe looks to build off his best performance of the season last Monday night. Coach Taylor will have the boys ready to play in this huge AFC showdown where both teams look to even out their record at 2-2.

Former Cincinnati Bengal Solomon Wilcots joins us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham to recap the Bengals' Monday Night Football victory against the Los Angeles Rams.
The Bengals finally earned their first win of the season on Monday night after beating the Rams 19-16. Led by an amazing defensive performance with the Bengals' defense forcing two turnovers and a total of six sacks. The defense was locked in from the very start of the game making Stafford feel uncomfortable all game. The biggest storyline heading into the game was the availability of Joe Burrow, and the decision ultimately ended up being to play Joe and it paid off massively. Joe didn't look 100 percent but he looked much better than the last two weeks and it was great to see the offense perform like they have the past two seasons. The Bengals move to 1-2 just like they did last season before winning 10 in a row on their way to an AFC Championship game appearance. They now face a familiar opponent in the Tennessee Titans whom the Bengals have beaten three times in the last three seasons.

It might not have been the best-played game by a Cincinnati Bengals squad the past few seasons, but it got the job done in front of a packed Paycor Stadium in a sea of white on a night many won't forget as two Bengals' greats took their place in the Bengals Ring of Honor.
Joe Burrow toughed it out, getting a super performance from receiver Ja'Marr Chase and the tough yards and the only touchdown of the game from running back Joe Mixon. At the same time, the defense did the dirty work, putting pressure on Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford to earn their first victory of the season 19-16 over the Rams.
Following the game, Dave Lapham jumped In The Trenches, presented by First Star Logistics. He joined Dave Berk to discuss its excitement, the key developments that helped the Bengals earn their first win, and watching Chad Johnson and Boomer Esiason take their place in Bengals history.

Cincinnati Bengals assistant head coach and special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons joins us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham. Coach Simmons and Dave talk about the first two games and a preview of the Bengals Monday night matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
While the Bengals offensively have had a rough start to the season the Bengals special teams play has been stellar. The special teams actually scored the first touchdown of the season when rookie Charlie Jones returned a punt for a touchdown in the second quarter against the Ravens. It was the first touchdown on a punt return for the Bengals since Adam Jones so it was very exciting to see and it's encouraging to see Jones make such an impact in his second career game. Brad Robbins has been up and down so far in his first two games but certain punts have definitely shown why the Bengals drafted him in the 6th round of this year's draft. Hopefully, the special teams' success continues during the season as the offense starts to come alive as well.
