Time to get some cussin' and dis-cussin' going in here.
We know that Thomas is slotted for the first-string NT job, but our backups so far are Geathers and Jerideau. What do you all think about that position battle?
The word I heard on Geathers is that he can be lazy and doesn't motor 100% on all plays. However, his bloodlines are very strong, and he grew up around the game. He's also big as a Hoarse.
I don't know that much about Gerideau, but here's a blurb from Gil Brandt:
Any thoughts on these two? Can they make the team? and Can they be effective in relief of Thomas? Or do the Bolts find a vet to fill in this year?
My fear is that if we put one of them on the PS, then he might get picked up later in the year by a team with injuries. Of course, if they're not good enough to make the team outright, then it may not be that big of a worry. However, guys like this need a lot of work on technique and how to be pros, and the PS is the best way to get them the exposure they need.
Can either one of them play DE as as well? It seems like Gerideau is strong and pretty quick, so he might be a candidate to move over on rushing downs. He seems a bit too short to be a pass rushing DE, but his size seems perfect for an NT.
What think you all?

He could be a priority free agent. (my bold) - Gil Brandt, NFL.com
