I kid because I care.

Let him come here for a huge discount. Oh no we have another guy who gets a lot of sacks on crappy teams. The humanity.

even if not, I don’t mind. All I know iw I want this guy on my team!

“In an attempt to miss training camp time.”

Let’s see. He is a self-admitted slacker. He has lost a step. He hasn’t trained in 8 months. He will be taking snaps away from Barwin. IMO, he won’t be the difference of plaoffs or not, but he may not be a good influence.

“It’s official: Bills have released two-time Pro Bowl defensive end Aaron Schobel.”

At least make a call, Rick.

this should mean great things for our line…a very good defensive end…he could also move Smith to the middle with Okoye on several plays…sure it takes away from Mitchell and Connor, but we could use a player like him on the line with Mario

Even if they think he’d only be a situational player I think they should pick him up… He’d be a great teacher to Barwin and Mario, seeing that we have no real veteran presence on the Dline

Not picking him up might send the wrong message to future potential free agents.

That Schobel keeps being referred to as a LB in media reports.

But he has played nine seasons at DE.

Because the Buffalo Bills have switched to the 3-4, they changed his designation from DE to LB for their depth chart.

I don’t believe he has ever played a down at Linebacker. Please correct me if I am wrong.

How many DEs are 33 or over in this league? Anyway to know? Just seems like the Texans are reaching for this guy if they pick him up. I don’t think he will be a good influence and I don’t necessarily think he would be better than Connor Barwin at this point, and that being said, I don’t want him to take snaps from Barwin. Barwin has too much promise and he needs the snaps. I see him coming on strong right from the first game, so more Barwin, please!

so all of this is irrelevant.

The Texans are also interested in DE Aaron Schobel. He told the Chronicle Monday night the Texans are at the top of his list. Schobel, who resides an hour from Houston, wants to be reunited with Bill Kollar, the Texans D line coach who coached him in Buffalo.

"He’s a heck of a player, obviously," Kubiak said today in remarks distributed by the team. "I’ve followed him for a lot of years and being a local guy, you know him around town here. But we are going to do our homework on him like we do on every player. He’s a fine football player. We’ll do our homework just like every other team and see what happens."

Defensive line coach Bill Kollar speaks highly of Schobel and has coached him before.

“He has obviously coached him and thinks a lot of him as a player,” Kubiak said. "That’s part of this league, players are released and with stuff going on around you just sit there and usually one of us have a relationship with somebody. So from that standpoint, Bill speaks very highly of him."
