You just voted twice.
2... d6
The first time he had two moves.
He went back and edited one out and then retyped it later, so I would see it.
He only got credit once.
I'm putting you down for 2. ... d6, Randolph.
If that wasn't a vote, please tell me.
Handshake

One of Black's aims in the Sicilian is to attack that e-pawn
so d6 stops it from advancing. the target is fixed.
So Nf6 comes with a gain of tempo.
The plan now is to open the c-file.
Put a Rook on c8 - exchange it for the Knight on c3, nick the e-pawn
and win.
If you look at Pawn Riot's games -
(please tell me someone has looked at Pawn Riots games) -
he sometimes plays 3.Bb5+ v d6.
Against 2...e6 he has played 3.d4 cxd4 4.c3 a kind of delayed Morra.
I'm not going to chip in anymore unless it's a question about
an aspect about chess and not the game.
Good luck men.

Thanks very much for the info.
It is appreciated. They keep expecting him to follow a set line, but that isn't necessarily so. For instance, I play 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. c3 !? a lot of the time. All the Najdorf,Dragon, and Scheveningen discussion in the world isn't going to help there.
Funny Story After 3. c3 Nf6 4. Bd3 !? a strong player asked me if I mouse slipped on move 4. 🙂 I figured Mr. Kopec and I should keep our mouths shut.
* This opening with Bd3 is called the Kopec System. I did not get help from another played named Mr. Kopec. Please do not write up a forum on me saying I cheated. 🙂
