CINCINNATI -- When Manny Lawson left Cincinnati in free agency it created a need for outside linebacker.    The Bengals found a guy they're familiar with to replace Lawson.    Former Steeler James Harrison will now suit up for the black and orange, a move that has many players excited for his arrival in Cincinnati.   It's good because he's a great player.  This is a business and we understand that side of it.  All that stuff goes to the side, he's a bengal now and we're looking forward to getting him on the field with us, defensive end Robert Geathers said.   Quarterback Andy Dalton said, I think it was a great signing for us, i think he's going to bring a really good attitude to this team. I'm excited to get to meet him and for him to be a part of it.   But now James Harrison must turn from long time rival with the steelers to teammate in Cincinnati.   I'm sure it's going to be a little different for him, he's been with the Steelers so long. We're going to welcome him like anyone else, Dalton said.   Wide Receiver Andrew Hawkins said, I don't think it's different to going to any team, any situation. It's a matter of i'm sure there's people on the team he knows. That's how the league is, you know guys around the league.   Harrison will be another weapon for defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer to unleash.   Andrew Whitworth, the 8-year offensive lineman, explained, I'm sure he's going to have a lot of fun.  Some people ask me 'man you happy you don't have to play that guy in the division anymore?' and I tell them no because now I'm going to have to deal with him everyday in practice when zimmer's coming up with some concoction in some way they're gonna bring him.
