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.

I'm pretty sure he was behind Tank Johnson, part of a rotation.  The following year Tank went to Zim and told him that Geno needed to be the starter.
