All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Re: Madden's quote: "Where's Schobel". Good question?
I don't want to toot my own horn, but I've been calling him overrated for years. His stats are padded with garbage time sacks. He has one move, and if and when he beats the OL, all the QB has to do is take one step up in the pocket.
Re: Madden's quote: "Where's Schobel". Good question?
Schobel got some pretty decent pressure, imo. The problem is that New England probably has the best OL that I've ever seen in my 20 odd years alive and it helps that Tom Brady can read even the most complex defenses like a children's book. New England does this to EVERYBODY not just us, Schobel, Hargrove, Kelsay and Denney will all be fine.
Re: Madden's quote: "Where's Schobel". Good question?
He's an above average DE. He isn't great and he is overpaid, but in a couple years, his salary will probably closer to what he deserves. He is a good player though. Sacks ain't everything.

True, without his pressure Brady might have scored on every drive.
Re: Madden's quote: "Where's Schobel". Good question?
We should start with our DE's 5 yards past the QB. That is where they end up anyway. Why do we run PAST the QB on every play. Can Schobel throw in a spin move? Thats what makes Freeney so good, he can take the speed past you and if you over compensate, hell spin to the inside right into the QB.
All Brady had to do was step up in the pocket and he was home free. Our D Line is all sound and fury signifying nothing.
Buy land in AK now. In ten years due to global warming, it will be the new tropical paradise, minus the tropics
Re: Madden's quote: "Where's Schobel". Good question?
Im not sure he's fully overated
but I can tell you he sure as heck isn't $50 million better than Hargrove. I think Hargrove is as good as Schobel or Kelsay.
To me, except for 1-2 games this year, it looks like Schobel's just happy to get a paycheck. And man, for a All Pro DE he takes a ton of plays off in this rotation. $74 million for a pair of DE's that rotate in and out of the lineup every other series or whatever. brilliance from the FO
