Aaron Schobel: Should I Stay or Should I Go?

[Syderick]

Aaron Schobel is still undecided about retiring:

[Mr. Pink]

The organization should now make the decision for him besides, he doesn't fit in the new scheme anyways.

[ServoBillieves]

Does he take Maybin's job or does he sit the bench? Does he take Kelsay's job or sit the bench? Wait... Does he upgrade either position or retire? Know what? Anyone who continues to ride the fence (Brett Favre, go **** yourself) needs to **** or get off the pot. We get it, you aren't sure if you want to play, but that's being selfish, the TEAM needs to know what you're doing, or at least leaning towards.

[BertSquirtgum]

this bull**** is starting to piss me off. i would definitely rather have schobel than kelsay but this jerk off needs to decide whether he's playing or not.

That's probably what he's hoping....maybe then he could go get a couple years in with a contender.

Trade him to a team in TEXAS possibly???
I say we move on with out him

[Night Train]

The thread title reminded me to pull out my Clash CD.

He probably hopes for a trade to the Cowboys or Texans, I'm guessing. I don't see him being here for opening day, FWIW.

Quite possibly the best band ever.

But to stay on topic, I'm sick of Schobel and his Favre-like nonsense. If he was going to retire, he should have told the team before March so they could have planned for it. However, as it stands we have a whole stable of 4-3 DE's trying to make the transition to 3-4 LB and they're all younger than he is, so if he wants to play games, he becomes expendable.

Get rid of him.

I hope he comes back. We could use someone to rush the QB on 3rd downs. I don't care if he only plays 15 snaps a game. He's our best pass-rusher.

Couldn't agree more myself. These young guys have more athleticism and many more years left in their tanks. Schobel is expandable. Enjoy retirement Aaron.

A big part of the value of the 3-4 is the ability to disguise where the 4th rusher comes from. Schobel is not good in coverage- if we put him out there to rush the passer, it will pretty much take away that advantage of the the 3-4 because the O will know he's the 4th rusher every time. And if he doesn't rush, they'll just target his man with a pass.

According to the Marv Levy theory, Schobel is already retired. I hope he stays that way. We have plenty of younger guys who actually WANT to play.

Remember last year with that "mic'd up" video of Kawika Mitchell when Schobel was standing next him going "I'm getting too old for this" and Mitchell told him to shut up?

At the time, many people on here thought Schobel was just joking. Well, apparently not. If he wanted to play, he would have committed by now.

[Mike in Syracuse]

When you take this long to decide if you're going to retire you've already retired IMO.

[TacklingDummy]

Try to trade, if that doesn't work, cut. Same goes for Lynch.

[ddaryl]

I think Aaron has alreayd made his decision.

Marv said it a while back... If your thinking about retiring then you already are.

Have you heard of 'The Beatles'?

Yup. The Clash are better.

Wrong. To quote Julz Winfield, " it ain't even the same ballpark, hell it ain't even the same ****in' sport!".

That's right- Beatles are the minor leagues compared to true musical revolutionaries like the Clash.
