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.
True, Geno does it in a lot of ways not just brute strength, you are correct.
You could be right about Billings but every player has to improve from college to the NFL to make an impact.
I definately see Billings being able to do just what you say. He has upside and already has the strength...
