I don't even remember much of 2010, so it's hard for me to remember what the expectations were for Geno and how he actually looked that year. Does anyone remember? Was he just taking rotational snaps at the time? Who were the DT's ahead of him other than Peko? 2010 is locked away in my unconscious mind.

Don't recall his stats that year, but there was a LOT of buzz about him from the start and they still took a lot of time to work him into the rotation. But his initial impact was his quickness. I hope they don't take as much te with Billings. They waste too much time waiting for them to earn their stripes on the practice field. But Marvin was talking about him being a brick wall yesterday. Maybe he'll break the pattern this year.
