pBills Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Just in case you didn't know... Defensive end Aaron Schobel's three sacks gave him a career season high of 121/2. He and Bruce Smith. Tied for overall sack leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfanone Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I called him overrated a few months ago. Boy am I glad he's proving me wrong. Crow doesn't taste so bad when it's a Bills player playing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermike Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 ...Kellen Clemens... Can't take it away from him though - the man makes plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pBills Posted December 11, 2006 Author Share Posted December 11, 2006 He's tied for the sack leader... many seasons in a row with 10+. Tackles 32.0. All in all he is doing his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5 Wide Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 He's tied for the sack leader... many seasons in a row with 10+. Tackles 32.0. All in all he is doing his job. 863288[/snapback] If by many in a row you mean two...then yes. I like the guy too. 6th Year, 3 years of double digits sacks.

Sacks are nice, but sealing off or channeling the runs is a big part of a DE's job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been differing opinions during the season on Schobel going to far upfield and whether this is a directive from the coaches or Schobel just not giving a sh-- about playing the run. Either way, it has been the cause of way to many big running plays this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarthur31 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 You guys forget that most of the big runs are right up the middle!!! You see huge holes, the linebackers run to it, but they don't make the tackle and the backs are suddenly deep into the secondary. How is this Aaron's fault???

Somebody here a while back took a dim view of the B'gal's soon-to-be FA, Justin Smith...high pick without wazoo sack #'s etc etc etc... He will get a decent contract from his next club (B'gals know they can't /won't pay big money for him...everything here revolves around the highest contract in athletics - Palmer's). But he's a terrific overall DE. I think he's clocked 7 sacks, and linemate Geathers now has 10. Not advocating the Bills go after Smith, ($$$), but he plays the complete game.

There are also plenty of runs going through the gap where the DE should be, put instead are upfield 5-10 yards looking for the QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth is I've never been that impresed with J. Smith's play; I know it takes more than one player, but doesn't it seem that Cincy has always sucked against the run. My buddies and I were shocked when he was picked 4th overall and I just don't see it when people talk about how incredible the guy is against the run. Maybe I haven't watched enough of his pro career but IMHO Schobes is a much better DE than J. Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
