Earlier this offseason, Cincinnati‘s head coach Marvin Lewis spoke about expecting defensive tackle Geno Atkins to return to his pre-ACL surgery form.
“Geno played his tail off against the run last year. He didn’t have the production we’d like rushing the passer but I wasn’t dissatisfied with Geno’s season at all. He’ll go back to being as dominant as he was. He’s just got to work through.”
Lewis’ confidence in Atkins heading into 2015 is a welcomed insight into the coming season for fans.
