The word here is that he will be inactive to start with (to see how he handles learning the playbook and and to see who is going to have to be waived to make room for him). Marvin Lewis is already quoted as saying he will be the #4 back for now. Haven't seen anymore on Ced Benson's injury, but the rumor mill is abound with theories that he is in worse shape than being initally reported.

Good move (for vet minimum) to provide more depth in the backfield for a run at the playoffs. Plus, he is in a situation where he is not the featured back. One bad move on his part, and he'll be sent packing. Hopefully, daddy chewed his a$$ enough that he'll keep his mouth shut and just run the ball...

I'd be interested in knowing where you're hearing this. Because I haven't heard a hint of that from anyone.

As for LJ.. Can't say I'm a huge fan of the Bengals bringing him aboard. But I believed in Marvin when times were tough. I have a hard time thinking Lewis would be looking to deliberately screw up such a promising team as he has now.

Besides, if LJ steps out of line one inch, he's gone. 7-game contract for the league minimum... No reason not to cut him in an instant if he acts a fool. Or better yet, let Whitworth smack the snot out of him.

Hopefully, Benson's just mildly nicked, and Johnson never plays a down for the Bengals. Well, maybe they rest Ced vs. KC and let him take his aggression out on his old team. :tongue2:

In Marvin We Trust.
