He DID commit some absolutely boneheaded penalties at critical points in games, and then he just… stopped doing it.

I got so used to yelling “G@#$$#%IT GIACOMINI!!” every time a flag was thrown when we were on offense, and by week 13 or 14, I realized I hadn’t actually been correct in my kneejerk blame in probably 5 weeks.

The guy really cleaned up his act, penalty-wise in the second half of the season.

Do NOT mistake that for *cleaning up his act*

He’s the meanest, toughest, grittiest and scrappiest player on the line and seems to *accidentally* crash into opposing players long after plays are over more often than not. He’s The Big Russian.

He’s not the Dirtbag we need, he’s the Dirtbag we deserve.

However, both did much better in the later part of the season.

If he eliminates the stupid penalties next year, then I think he is a very worthy starter and one that they will keep long term. If he starts out in 2013 at the same early pace of the 2012 season, then sit/cut him fast.

…And if he never has another 15 yard foul called against him I’ll be exceedingly happy. Keep pushing that pile Geno.

He probably cost the Hawks two victories. I hope they replace him.
