marvin lewis has said that if he signs johnson, it is purely a back up role only. that it will not have any effect on the current RBs places on the roster. He said he plans to use Johnson in special teams and other places when needed. I suspect if they sign him, benson might be a little more injured than they are letting on. i hope that isnt the case either way. i think johnson can add some depth, and im up for signing him if, and only if, he is back up/relief for our 3 RBs all ready in place. Obviously he’s talented…I dont care for his attitude, he better be humble here. if he signs good players stick with their teams. i hope his problems in KC are not just on him, perhaps there’s some people there that dont like him? i dont know the true/full story, i doubt most of us do. if we sign him, i have confidence they know what they are doing. after all, the team is what it is today, because of the players we signed from other teams that were not working out, along with some good draft picks. i stand by them either way, johnson might not be that bad of a guy IF they sign him.

Nooooo (said like a pouty kid banging kicking and screaming on the floor)!! We don’t need this guy. There is no reason to take risk on him. With our upcoming schedule against Oakland, Cleveland, and Detroit, Benson should have plenty of time to get healthy. The last thing our young team needs is a poisonous player who hasn’t produced in several years. Plus I was looking forward to seeing more Bernard Scott in action. I’ve also loved what Brian Leonard has brought to the table in terms of toughness and getting those extra yards. So unless Scott is hurt too, I say that I like the guys we have and we should move on without him.

If the Bengals can work out a deal, this will be a godsend for us. Count on it.

When he left here, everybody said he was washed up and he wouldn’t make an impact with the Patriots. WRONG!!!!!! He won 1 if not 2 (I think) Super Bowl rings as a back up RB there. They told Dillion shut your mouth and know your role and he did. Look what happened!!!!! Same scenario. LJ will shut his mouth and know his role and help us obtain a SB win!!!!!

if lj had one damn thing left in the tank, i’d say go for it. he hasn’t had a meaningful season since he carried 400 times; the wheels fell off a while ago and any dollar amount spent on him would be a waste. i’d rather have dede.

I just wanted to come tell you guys this move isnt bad, but he isnt better then Scott or Benson for sure. Jamal Charles is a way better back. Alot of people blame it on the O Line but thats not the case. LJ had the lowest YPC average out of the other backs we have. He is done for guys. He cant break tackles from a CB anymore. He couldnt even run wild on the Raiders D, Jamal Charles put up a 100 yards on 18 carries and got us the first rushing TD of the year. This is a low risk move though so it shouldnt be a problem.

Also, I wanted to wish you guys good luck with the rest of the season. Hopefully you guys dont whoop us to bad week 16 lol. Good luck and I hope you guys can make it deep in the playoffs, I know Cincy fans have always been classy to me. Ive came there to watch the game the last time we played there.
