I'm not sure I like this for them. They are 7-2 and playing great. Johnson might be a distraction for them. At the same time, he can backup Benson so it might be good.
They signed Johnson because Benson got injured. At this point in the season, you probably can't find a better back on the street. Who knows maybe Marvin Lewis will be able to better control him in what is right now a winning environment. A big part of the Bengals success has been running the ball, so without Benson, it would take away a key part of their success.
