After the injury to Cedric Benson the Bengals signed Larry Johnson to sure up their running back situation. The Bengals struck quickly as the Eagles were probably going to make a move for LJ.
I think this is a good move for the Bengals and LJ. The Bengals get a good proven rb who can take some of the load off of Benson. Plus LJ can help in goal line and short situations. I don't see LJ helping immediately unless Benson can not play. I see this more as a move to help the Bengals in late December and the playoffs. From a fantasy purpose this may help owners during the playoffs when LJ gets more playing time. This will allow LJ a month to get used to the system.
As for LJ he will be on his best behavior. I don't expect him to be tweeting as this is a tryout for either the Bengals or another team next year. I also can see LJ doing well with Marvin Lewis who has been able to deal with Benson as well as Tank Johnson. If LJ does make a mistake he simply will be released by the Bengals and may not get another chance in the NFL.
