Enon Bengal Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 At least for me, this doesn't feel the same as signing Benson last season. Last year it was low risk, high reward. Seems just the opposite this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maanster Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 love it....we play three teams from the afc west and he knows that division well. [/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBandJoeyV Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 The only way this could really hurt us is if the locker room completely falls apart, but i really dont see that happening. Im ASSUMING that Mike talked to Marvin and hopefully a few players (carson, etc) to make sure this wouldnt effect the locker room. Hope Ced isnt hurt too bad, but its not like we are gonna be paying LJ that much I dont think, so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigris Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 One year deal his ass... he wants to be an idiot, then we let him go first thing. Well, he's got to agree to the one year deal first, of course. Good to see the front office moving around, though... I appreciate the effort.

JBandJoeyV Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Hes not gonna get paid much, he has something to prove, if it doesnt work out we can cut him next week if we wanted I think. Not too much risk, unless he just fucks up the locker room, but i cant see that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfeet4real Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 wow....was NOT expecting this. although i heard pittsburgh was involved in trying to get him so i guess better us getting him than the enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akiliMVP Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Sooo who gets cut? Vakapuna? Will we really carry 4 RBs? I heard an interview with him on Dan Patrick the other day and he seemed really humble and well spoken. I thought he'd sound like a dumb ass but I was wrong. He said he knows whatever team he goes to he will be a backup and have to prove himself. Let's hope he doesn't fuck this locker room up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Harley| Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Being a winning franchise opens up so many possibilities. This should make signing other FAs in the offseason easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.A.B. Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 There's no way LJ comes in and fucks up our locker room. The guys in there aren't gonna let it happen. I think he can do a good job in stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 well there you go. Nice knowing you Vakapuna. Hopefully he keeps his mouth shut and plays hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBandJoeyV Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Imagine if he does regain some form and can play even close to the way he used to. Imagine in the playoffs being able to switch off him and benson and keep them both fresh, we could just run all over teams. Add Andre smith too. Could be a dominate running team.[quote name='Bengals1181' date='16 November 2009 - 02:20 PM' timestamp='1258395628' post='828819'] well there you go. Nice knowing you Vakapuna.

bengalsdave985 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I heard whoever signs him only would have to pay 36k a week, no risk here IMO, if he does something stupid you cut him and move on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F.Cleveland Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 This has Corey Dillon to the Pats written all over it. The only difference is that we already have Ced. Corey wasn't the centerpiece of that team, just an occasional part. Like others have said, if he steps out of line, we dump him. This is the kind of move that winning teams make. Good move if it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgwilly31 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 This could be either Really Great. Or Really Bad. The only thing good is im assuming he's cheap. But some others are right. If he gains any kind of previous form back he could help us greatly through the playoffs. Than after the season be some good trading bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmishBengalFan Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Woo hoo, another Johnson! My sister (lives in Mizzou, huge Chiefs fan) will be pissed.
