MrLocke Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 When I think about elite Defensive End tandems in the NFL I think of; Darren Howard and Charles Grant of New Orleans a combined 21.5 sacks last season and John Abraham and Shaun Ellis of the Jets a combined 20.5 sacks last season. With all of the talk about Kelsay's progression this season and Schobel where he is already, Does any one think Kelsay and Schobel could combine to give us somewhere in the range of 16-20 sacks? With every member of Buffalo's starting secondary having gone to the Pro Bowl I really like the idea of having a great pair of defensive ends for our pass defense. Anyway do people see Kelsay and Schobel becoming an elite pass rushing tandem this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt in KC Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I think they could well get 12-14 sacks (Schobel 8-10, Kelsay 4-6). We will likely have quite a few team sacks, but the zone blitz will mean that a number of players have 1-2 sacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I think 16-18 is a reasonable goal for sacks by Schobel & Kelsay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC-Bills Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Much better than the /dev/null /ec-bills tandem. Although I would end up with more sacks than /dev because of my Kirk move. /dev would get flattened when he uses his Picard move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I think 16-18 is a reasonable goal for sacks by Schobel & Kelsay. I agree. I think Kelsay will profit by double-teams on Schobel's side, but will occasionally be spelled by one of the other DE's. I'll say 9 Schobel, 8 Kelsay & Co.

mary owen Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 i like this tandem. Let's shed our PC shackles and call them the white slices. when they meet at the quarterback, it'll look like a jelly sandwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in SC Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 They will be even better this year with a healthy Ritzmann or George Gause pushing them. The potential is there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I think this is Kelsay's breakout season; we'll see a lot more games like the 2nd Jets game where he will dominate. Schobel also looks primed for a big season... I'll say 20 sacks and over between the both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
