JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Getting it right AARON SCHOBEL Miami end Jason Taylor is probably the defensive player of the year, but it's refreshing to see Schobel making his Pro Bowl debut at the other end spot. The Bills' right defensive end has been one of the best at that position for the past few seasons, but hasn't always gotten the acclaim. He couldn't be denied this season, not after leading the NFL with 13.5 sacks for a unit ranked 14th overall. Over the past four seasons, Schobel has averaged 10 sacks. Plus, he plays the run and pass equally well. (Schobel's also averaged more than 65 tackles over the past four seasons.) He exploits his exceptional quickness and closing speed with relentlessness. But I'm curious as to how Schobel will be described when he becomes better known nationally. His 38-inch vertical is the same as DeMarcus Ware's, but Ware gets touted for his athleticism while Schobel is often referred to as a hustler. You get the drift regarding the tired stereotypes.

drnykterstein Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Yeah he's a hustler because he's white. Ah well, I'm a fan and I still think he falls under the "high motor" category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
