What changed Schobel's thinking - BuffaloBills.com
"I talked to [former Buffalo Bills DL coach] Bill Kollar," said Schobel. "I played golf with him one day. This is what he said, ‘At the end of the year come January or February whenever the season is over will you regret playing? Or will you regret not playing?’" Schobel told the team's official website that he is "70-30" to play this season.

Troup signed and ready for camp - BuffaloBills.com
"The second-round draft choice signed his contract at One Bills Drive in Orchard Park before heading out immediately for training camp at St. John Fisher in the middle of the night. Troup will however, beat the 7 am Thursday deadline to report to camp and is expected to participate in the team's first training camp practice, which is scheduled for 3 pm Thursday."

Buddy Nix on Schobel, Troup, and Spiller (4:18) - BuffaloBills.com
The Bills GM talks with the media from St. John Fisher about Torell Troup, C.J. Spiller, Demetrius Bell (ready to go), he called Cornell Green "pretty old" when asked about his young tackles, Aaron Schobel (he hasn't talked to him), and he says he is not limiting signings based on next year's CBA.

"I had to have a procedure done on my groin and I'm going to be limited the first couple of weeks of camp," said Posluszny.

Surgery was two weeks ago and minor enough where he will not be placed on the PUP list.

"Kyle Williams and Chris Kelsay just arrived at camp and they’re two of Schobel’s closest friends on the roster. They weighed in on Schobel’s recent change in thinking about his playing career."

I like Schobel's honesty

At this point he says he is 70-30 that he is coming back, which could mean big things for the pass rush. He has been upfront about needing time to handle family logistics, and I feel he has earned the right to take his time – and stated that he might expect some fines and understands that. This would be great if he is back in a week or two.

I’ll be honest – he sounds like a child to me (not a whining child, just immature). ""My parents told me whatever I wanted to do they understood either way," said Schobel.

Your parents??? Dude, how old are you, 17? What about your wife?

Does anyone else love Buddies candor? His quotes are great and he’s seems to give genuine and honest answers.

Q: The C.J. Spiller pick drew some criticism. Some thought it was a luxury pick as opposed to drafting a lineman or even a quarterback. Your reaction to that?
A: “He was the highest-rated player on our board. We thought he was the best player, maybe from the start, but the best player for sure at the ninth pick. The thing people want to know, more so than why we picked Spiller, is why we didn’t pick a tackle or a quarterback. Picking a tackle that you don’t feel good about being the answer, only satisfies people in the summer. Come October, if that ol’ boy can’t play, and is not what you’ve got to have there, then it doesn’t satisfy anybody. I’m not trying to satisfy them in the summer.”

i recommend reading the buddy article above:

Did Fred Jackson age 40 years this offseason???

He looks ancient in that picture.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw that pic
