I just mean that Billings is not a one trick pony like Peko. Billings at 24 is my ideal scenario right now.
That's really just a way over simplified view of what Geno does.
Geno uses his strength but he's also a master of leverage and technique.
He's underrated as an athlete too. His first step is a cannon ball on Zone runs. The OL rarely has the time to react to him.
And technically right now, I would call Billings a one trick pony until he shows he can actually pass rush with skill. He has the ability to be a lot more. But he isn't yet.
I think we need to temper these types of expectations that way you don't end up with another Big Daddy situation.
