Lewis called Johnson a "prideful young man."

Meanwhile, the Bengals also hope to get production from oft-injured Chris Perry, who missed the 2007 season as he recovered from ankle and lower leg injuries, but were "a little bit unsure" about Kenny Irons, who tore his ACL last preseason. ... One certainty? "We know we have to run the football more productively to be a better football team," the coach added after stressing that the offensive and defensive line will be priorities this offseason.
