Schobel eager for return to Buffalo Bills (http://www.democratandchronicle.com/article/20090727/SPORTS03/907270312/1007/SPORTS/Schobel+eager+for+return+to+Buffalo+Bills)
The simple answer to the question of why Buffalo's pass rush was so anemic in 2008 is that Aaron Schobel missed the final 11 games of the season with a foot injury.

Schobel often doesn't get enough credit for his run defense, and it was apparent once he was sidelined. The Bills gave up 114.2 yards per game on the ground with Schobel on the field, and 125 yards when he was out.

Like him or not, it's apparent what he brings to this defense. If he's not healthy, it would be a huge shot to a successful season for this defense.

If Schobel returns to form, and Maybin can give us some QB pressure on a situational basis, our D will be miles ahead of last year.

That's what I live for... a dominate defense in Buffalo. Those two things happen, our secondary will more chances to make plays and we'll be able to use our wrecking ball (MLB) at will.

Schobel is the best we have, but that isn't saying much. It really just speaks to how pathetic our pass-rushers are.
