John from Riverside Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Does anybody else but me think his inneffectiveness this year have to do with that foot and was severely limiting him even before he was listed on the injury report? I think our Pass rush will be back with a Healthy Schrobel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStranger76 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I like Schobel and all, but we need some youth at DE this offseason. Schobels best days are behind him.....he'd be alright for a few more years IF we get him an effective rusher on the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our Pass rush will be back with a Healthy Schrobel Well, he was pretty ineffectivene last year also, having his lowest sack total siince his rookie year. 1 sack so far this year for him, and no pass rush from that line. http://www.nfl.com/players/aaronschobel/profile?id=SCH422487 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_wag Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 i think the injury will linger all season.......wouldn't surprise me if it's broken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffaloed in Pa Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Schrobel,Showbell,Shobell,Tinkerbell, yeah I like that one. Anyway this dude is just about done. Too small,weak , and now slow to be a Pass rushing DE. Damn Bruce spoiled us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our Pass rush will be back with a Healthy Schrobel I think Fewell is the reason for the anemic pass rush. How many time have you seen the Bills blitz per game this year? If Fewell doesn't call the blitz, it most likely isn't going to be called by the defense on the field. Fewell's defense is fine when they're crusing along in a game, but you take the Arizona and Miami games, when the D was getting ripped up and what did Fewell do to adjust? Close your eyes and what do you see? That's right.....nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Does anybody else but me think his inneffectiveness this year have to do with that foot and was severely limiting him even before he was listed on the injury report? Hell, I don't even think he was ineffective. C'mon John, you've been on way too many ballfields to be fooled into believing that Schobel hasn't been good just because he only has 1 sack. That's amateur hour and you know better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsWatch Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 If all someone cares about is sacks then sign a potato. I was hopeful that posters were more intelligent than Dan Quayle and knew that being a Defense Lineman is a lot more than sacking QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoner7 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Ok, when will our D-line consistantly pressure the QB We didnt vrs Miami and Arizona, and we lost. Schobel has been terrible after he wanted to lose wieght to be faster. He didnt get any faster, just a lot weaker. He was never a speed rusher but and effort technique guy. Now he is too small (last I heard he was at or under 260lbs) to do either as tackles jsut push him around. I feel he maxed our a few years back when he abused the then rookie tackle D. Ferguson for 4 or 5 sacks in 2 games. I vote go after Suggs and let him rush the passer from teh DE spot every play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hell, I don't even think he was ineffective.C'mon John, you've been on way too many ballfields to be fooled into believing that Schobel hasn't been good just because he only has 1 sack. That's amateur hour and you know better. I understand what you are saying Simon.....I am just wondering if he has been hiding a injury. Understanding the mechanics of it..... Aaron Schrobel is a edge rusher He has never been a stout run defender that is just not his game His quickness of the snap is what has made him effective If he has a foot injury that prevents him from exploding off of that foot....then you compound that with the other teams best OT giving him a pass protection punch to knock him off balance.....and things go bad from there I am not saying that I know I am right here.....what I am interested to see if there is something to my suspicions......or he could just be over the hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStranger76 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Wrong Thoner7, Schobel had his best year playing at his current weight. Run defense is about technique and leverage anyways, not weight. Honestly, what really is the difference when your 245 or 265 going against a man weighing 330??? Schobel is just probably a little over the hill (but like I said with someone bad ass on the other side he would be fine for a few more years) and is paid as an elite player when he really is just a very solid player.

Beerball Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Our line with/without Schobel cannot pressure the QB consistently, yes? Opposing QBs have time in the pocket to pick our D apart, yes? When we blitz we are more effective but this can be a catch 22, yes? but but but Schobel is supposed to be our pass rushing D-lineman, yes? Stroud's arrival would allow Schobel to be a more effective pass rusher, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaGimp Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I just don't understand why so many people defend this guy on this board. Has he helped the Bills win anything!? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
