It took Geno a whole season to recover both. That said, if Billings is 100% and he lines up inside with Atkins, then I'm not sure any line in the NFL could stop that bull rush, let alone deal with Dunlap and (insert name here) coming from the ends. We'll just have to wait and see what we have in the rook... he may be great or may be a bust. They need to sign Peko to a 1 year deal until we know. Then let him retire a Bengal. He's been a tremendous asset to this team and does not deserve a lot of the vitriol he gets here.
Billings is a total unknown. People assume his freakish weight room numbers will translate to huge push...and it may or may not. There are a lot of other factors at play and lineman in the NFL are all strong. (Except Ced.)
I looked and Billings actually tore meniscus...which is a much quicker recovery than a torn ligament. That's promising.
