Dumervil, Mosley, and Yanda named to Pro Bowl

57 posts in this topic

Remember hearing that Ozzie hadn't drafted a Pro Bowler since that guy who used to wear #27. Glad that streak is over. Congrats to all.

Hope Forsett gets to go.

Dumervil over Suggs shows how flashy stats will get a player in over more consistent strong play.

Good to see Yanda in tho. I wonder how Wagner would have gotten on without his injury.

And no Tucker? What kind of blasphemy is that?

All of our alternates are 1st alternates, by the way.  I imagine we see a couple more guys get in.

Voting was compiled before he got hurt. Wagner is an absolute snub , he should be the starting right tackle

Suggs and KO were the biggests snubs. I don't even know how Ryan Clady made it he was horrific this season. AJ green is having his worst season and somehow he still makes it

Webb definitely had a probowl season in his 3rd year but was a snub.  But yeah, Mosley is our best pick since 08

The great Joe Flacco didn't make it? (relax apologists that was a joke)

 

In all seriousness congrats to the guys that made it. This is the 1st of many for CJ.

KO not being on it is so dumb. He was a beast. You could make a decent case for Suggs. Not that surprised that Wagner didn't make it. They pick all LT's, and for good reason.

As for other teams... I think OBJ should have made it... over hilton would made sense. I don't think Romo, Jahri Evans, Iupati or Haden should have made it. Desmond Trufant is better than Haden

Yeah there were kickers who did better than Tucker this year. Tucker is a great kicker but some other guys did just a bit better.

As for the linemem, OL is a position that is repeatedly gotten wrong as only the big name guys make it. Heck Saturday made it a couple years ago with Green Bay and he wasn't even starting at the end for Green Bay.

Harrison Smith, Lavonte David and Everson Griffen were snubbed too....SMH and yes it is.

Gostkowski and Vinatieri were better than Tucker this season. 

 

That depends on how you look at it. Sure they made more FG's but they were not asked to take on 60 yarders either. Not saying that they were not good but all of the point afters are a product of offense more so than the kicker. I would still say JT is the best kicker in the league right now. Looking at where he has made from and the conditions I like him more than the others.

theres more to kicking FGs than hitting the long one, otherwise the polish cannon would have made it every year. Why up in arms about them saying other kickers played better than Tucker this year? lets be real here, Tuck missed 5 this year and all 5 were not 60+, Gostkowski missed 2 and Vinaieri didn't miss any, they played better this year and deserved to go over Tuck

Gostkowski should have made it and probably vinateiri but dude kicks in a dome for 9 games a year ( 8 home + Houston)
