tibor75 Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 The OSU game is on and the interim coach for the game is Larry Johnson. I always figured he was the father of former RB Larry Johnson, but I looked up wikipedia to make sure. And of course I remember that Johnson Jr was run into the ground by the Chiefs. But forgot that he made his way eventually to Cincinnati... In November 2009, Johnson signed with the Cincinnati Bengals for the prorated league minimum pay. Johnson served as backup to starting running back Cedric Benson. In the Bengals week 12 win over the Browns, Johnson rushed for 107 yards, his only 100-yard game of the season.

I think he played with a guy named “Ochocinco” right about the same time Chad Johnson was on our team. I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who are HOF-ers who played for Cincinnati at some point in their career (not counting coaches - Paul Brown, Forrest Gregg, Dick Lebeau) Charlie Joiner Terrell Owens Any others?

Le Tigre Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Certainly not a totally unknown name for old timers (although one may recall his name as ML Harris: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rev-dr-michael-harris-cdka-90215b18 Have had the pleasure of knowing Michael and his wonderful family for a number of years. He was a classmate of my wife at old North HS. Over the years, she has kept in contact. She, not being a sports person, always just knew him as “Mike”. I told her it wasn’t often where she could say she was friends with a former NFL TE, who caught a TD pass from Ken Anderson in a legendary AFC Championship Game. She rightfully said “that’s nice...but his work with the Church and the community is more important”. My always wise bride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was traded from the Bengals to the Philadelphia Eagles for a 1977 first-round selection (8th overall–Wilson Whitley) and first- and second-round picks in 1978 (8th and 35th overall–Ross Browner and Ray Griffin respectively) on July 10, 1974 Bergey was the best LB we ever had IMO. Much like Coy Bacon was the best pass rusher. But like many of the great players we had, they were traded when they asked for more moola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn’t Berger left for the WFL, so he had already left the Bengals. Pretty serious haul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
