duey Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Justin Geisinger Position: Guard/Tackle College: Vanderbilt Height: 6-3 Weight: 322 Hometown: Pittsburgh, Pa. Analysis | Injury Report | Agility | High School | Personal OVERVIEW A model of consistency, Geisinger has been one of the few bright spots for the Commodores' program since arriving on campus as a freshman. This massive road grader is one of the finest trap blockers in the country. He knows how to use his size and aggressive nature to engulf defensive linemen who dare to challenge him in the trenches. Regarded as the school's finest prospect on the offensive line since the days of Will Wolford (1982-85), Geisinger brings a love for the game, a strong desire to succeed and stellar leadership ability to this young team. He is one of the strongest players on the college gridiron, boasting several team records in the weight room, including a 600-pound bench press, 43 repetitions of the 225-pound bench press, 650-pound squat and 1,600-pound total weight (bench/squat/clear). Geisinger has started every game (43) he has played in for the Commodores, including a string of 26 consecutive games, before being sidelined for several contests due to injury in 2003. The two-time team captain is a devastating run blocker, but also shows great technique in protecting the quarterback's blind side from the blitz and pass rush. Even for a player of his size, he does an excellent job of staying low in his stance and exploding off the snap to immediately gain leverage. ANALYSIS Positives: Has a massive frame with a thick chest, wide waist and hips, big bubble, thick legs and good leg drive … Collegiate tackle who could shift to guard at the pro level to take advantage of his trap-blocking ability and strength … Enforcer-type who does a good job of staying low in his pads, coming off the snap with arms properly extended to get under the defender's jersey … Tenacious drive blocker who works hard to stay with his blocks … Keeps his feet wide to maintain balance in pass protection, showing the ability to wall off and pull for the ground game … While lacking sustained speed, he does well in the short area to generate the quickness to get to the edge to cut off the linebackers, showing true aggression in run support … Shows good hip snap and roll to effectively seal off the edge rush … One thing you quickly notice about his game is he flashes aggression blocking in-line and delivers a hand punch into the defender's chest consistently … Has made strides in improving his foot agility in order to get to the drop point in his pass protection … Knows how to use his upper-body power to push off the defender and then use his hands to sustain and gain leverage … His ability to remain focused when anchoring down gives him the ability to quickly recover vs. the stunts … Adequate incline blocker, thanks to proper hand technique and punch. Negatives: Slow-footed type who has trouble containing the speed rushers … Lacks agility on the move, appearing stiff in his hips … Limited by short arm length … Shows good playing strength, but struggles with lateral movement and the speed rush … Limited when working in space, as he cannot redirect and recover when beaten … Shows effort and signs of a stong hand punch, but is very stiff and un-athletic getting his hands up into a defender's chest … Could possibly be moved inside, but needs to develop better change-of-direction skills and foot speed. INJURY REPORT Suffered a right ankle/fibular break (syndesmosis) vs. Kentucky in 2001; sat out the final two games vs. Tennessee and Mississippi … Suffered a hamstring strain in the 2003 Florida game, but did not miss any playing time … Suffered a left knee medial collateral Grade 2 sprain vs. Mississippi in 2004; sat out the Mississippi State and Navy games. AGILITY CAMPUS: 5.43 in the 40-yard dash … 600-pound bench press … 650-pound back squat … 350-pound power clean … Bench presses 225 pounds 43 times (all weight results are school records) … 26½-inch vertical jump … Right-handed. COMBINE: 5.37 in the 40-yard dash … 3.12 20-yard dash … 1.86 10-yard dash … 4.62 20-yard shuttle … 7.87 three-cone drill … 25-inch vertical jump … 7-foot-11 broad jump … Bench pressed 225 pounds 34 times … 32¾-inch arm length … 9 5/8-inch hands. HIGH SCHOOL Attended Mount Lebanon (Pittsburgh, Pa.) High, playing football for coach Chris Haering … Earned second-team all-state honors as a senior, leading the team to an 11-2 record and the state quarterfinals … Named to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "Fabulous 22" and the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review "Terrific 25" squads … Was the starting left tackle for the Pennsylvania team in the "Big 33" Classic … Also selected all-district and all-conference … Played on the baseball team that won the 1998 Western Pennsylvania Championship … Member of National Honor Society and high honor roll with a 4.0 grade-point average. PERSONAL Human and Organizational Development major, working toward a pre-medicine degree in the College of Arts and Science … Two-time Southeastern Conference Academic Honor Roll recipient … Assisted Washington Redskins linebacker Lavar Arrington with a Pittsburgh-area high school camp last summer … Regularly visits with young patients at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital … Volunteers at the Nashville Humane Society … Son of Joanne and David Geisinger … Father was a swimmer at Penn State University … Only sibling, Jessica, is a sales manager for Hyatt Chicago … Born May 24, 1982 … Resides in Pittsburgh, Pa.
Rico Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 With pick #197, the Buffalo Bills select OG Justin Geisinger, Vanderbilt 316793[/snapback] JMac has got to LOVE this draft!Geisenger and the Duke!
Larry Playfair Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 from cnnsi Justin Geisinger Grade: 3.5 Position: OG Class: Sr School: Vanderbilt Conference: SEC Ht., Wt.: 6-3.5, 322 40 Time: 5.37 Selected by: Buffalo Bills Round 6, pick 23 (197 overall) Grading System BIO: Four-year starter at left tackle. Awarded varying degrees of All-Conference honors since his freshman campaign. POSITIVES: Powerful, wide-bodied college tackle who projects to guard at the next level. Nasty blocker who drives defenders off the line or seals them from the action with body positioning. Stays square, keeps defenders in front of him and effectively uses blocking angles. Knows what.s happening on the field and helps out teammates. Quick off the snap into blocks and immediately sets in pass protection. Solid hand technician. NEGATIVES: Lacks blocking range and struggles sliding laterally. Lacks adjustment as well as the ability to redirect to opponents. Must learn to finish. ANALYSIS: A wide-bodied lineman with excellent weight room strength, Geisinger has done a solid job protecting the blind side at Vandy. Limited blocking range will force him inside, though he could develop into a productive starting guard in the right system. PROJECTION: Mid Fourth Round
Brandon Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 600-pound bench press … 650-pound back squat … 350-pound power clean … Bench presses 225 pounds 43 times (all weight results are school records) … 316801[/snapback] This guy has RG prospect written all over him. At the very least, you'd think he'd be an excellent run blocker. Looks like a nice pick here in R6.
CajunBillsBacker Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 I like this pick, he'll hurt someone. here's a good article on him. http://vanderbilt.scout.com/2/313717.html
SilverNRed Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Regarded as the school's finest prospect on the offensive line since the days of Will Wolford (1982-85), 316805[/snapback] Hooray! So in the 6th round we get a guy projected for the 4th round and in the 4th round we got a guy projected for the 6th or 7th round. Goes to show you that the Bills do their own scouting.
Clockwork Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 600 lb. bench? This guy could probably pick up and throw a mini cooper!
BillsGuyInMalta Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 600 lb. bench? This guy could probably pick up and throw a mini cooper! 316822[/snapback] Or at least Sam Adams in practice...

cåblelady Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 600 lb. bench? This guy could probably pick up and throw a mini cooper! 316822[/snapback] ....or E. Mould's Hummer.
Clockwork Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Or at least Sam Adams in practice... 316827[/snapback] If thats the case, he starts!
BillsFanForever19 Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 UGH! Justin Geisinger? We need a Tackle, not a Guard. Bennie Anderson Chris Villarial Lawrence Smith Ross Tucker Justin Bannan Ben Sobieski How many Guards do we need? There was guys like Michael Munoz at Tackle, T.A. McLendon at RB, and Mike Rayner at Kicker that would have been HUGE picks.
Tony P Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 I like this pick, he'll hurt someone. here's a good article on him. http://vanderbilt.scout.com/2/313717.html 316813[/snapback] Thanks, nice link. Take a good look at the first photo, his eyes have that weird look... ya know? Not only will he hurt someone but I think he's gonna really enjoy doing it!

In space no one can hear Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Good bye Smith and Sobieski. There, that wasn't so hard. 316889[/snapback] Why so quick to get rid of? Brought in by the master Donahoe ... and under McNallys tutelage... certainly they will develop!!

Bennie Anderson Chris Villarial Lawrence Smith Ross Tucker Justin Bannan Ben Sobieski How many Guards do we need? There was guys like Michael Munoz at Tackle, T.A.

If the Bills feel he's better than what they have, then they made a good choice picking Geisinger.
