Just off the top of my head, surely there are many more.

Then the Vikings and Bears had Page, Vikes had Larson, Rams had Olsen, they just started to become more-prolific in the mid-90s.

Yes, there are many others.

Dude was huge man. Thought I was looking at King Kong on the field or somethin'.

FWIW, Geno posted on FB today. He was playing in the snow with his kids, and they were wearing Bengals gear. I was under the impression that he'd settled down in Miami.

Monster in the middle of Vikings line.

"Undersized" like Geno but absolutely unstoppable.  Nine seasons with 10+ sacks.  Six time First Team All Pro.

Probably lives in Georgia, maybe the Atlanta area. Georgia received a bunch of snow over the past couple of days.

Who is available out there to add?

someone pointed out that former Bengal Andrew Billings is available.  He was waived by Cleveland in Nov picked up by Miami 3 days later for their PS, so he should still be in shape.  There are also other DTs sitting on practice squads all over the NFL

Khalil McKenzie was on the Ravens practice squad at the end of the year, but he signed a "future/reserve contract" last week.

What the hell is a "future/reserve contract"?

Can we sign him?

Thought Bates had a decent game Saturday

Was probably one of his best games this year. If he turns it on the rest of the way like this, then maybe he will earn a solid contract.
