Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but the Skins also have five alternates named to the Pro Bowl should players ahead of them get injured:

Mike Sellers is a first alternate.
Clinton Portis, and Rock Cartwright are second alternates.
London Fletcher, and LaRon Landry are third alternates.

[quote=SFREDSKIN;394712]Taylor starter

Cooley and Samuels reserves

It's official.[/quote]


Congratulations

Re: Pro Bowl 2008
 

I would take Fletcher over Lofi or Willis. Of course I think Pierce and Urlachar should make it over either of them as well. People don't realize that we are a top ten team in yards and rushing and a lot of the reason is Fletcher.

Portis got snubbed, barber doesnt even start

Mike Sellers got snubbed..... he's having one of the best seasons compared to all the other fullback's in the NFL...

Tony Richardson is from the Vikings.. and I think people are giving him too much credit for Adrian Peterson/Chestor Taylor attack (they have one of the best offensive lines)

Re: Pro Bowl 2008
 

[quote=sandtrapjack;394766]One thing in the defense of the Barber, in the Barber vs Portis debate.

Barber had FAR FAR less carries than Portis and has been a solid producer all season, has not missed a game and is a beast in the red-zone.[/quote]

True. But look at how many points the Cowboys have scored compared to the Redskins.

Antonio Pierce is overrated, he hasnt lived up to his expectation since he left washington...

Re: Pro Bowl 2008
 

I cried with tears of joy just now when I heard that Taylor had made the Pro Bowl. Just when you think that mankind has compleetly gone to shit, they do something honorable like this to redeem themselves.

Re: Pro Bowl 2008
 

So wait...Doesn't taylor's death qualify as an injury or event beyond control...


Who do the redskins send? I hope its landry.

Edit: be it portis or Landry...one of them should wear the number 21.

i have to agree with you giantone, Antonio Pierce is a fine middle linebacker. haven't seen enough of his play this year to know if he is more deserving then Fletcher. anyone feel like comparing the 2's stats?

Re: Pro Bowl 2008
 

Fletcher: 5th in the NFL with 120 tackles

Pierce: 33rd in the NFL with 89 tackles.

Nuff said.

Re: Pro Bowl 2008
 

thanks Matty. it seems like Fletcher is very deserving. i wonder why he didn't get the love?

Re: Pro Bowl 2008
 

not that it matters, but I think mr. portis will have a bit of a chip on his shoulder for that last game v. dallas.

I thought it should have been Fletcher and Willis, but Tatupu is a good player. That Fletcher was only a third alternate is kind of ridiculous. I don't know that anyone on the Skins, beyond maybe Sellers, is a major league snub. As everyone in the world has pointed out, the guys who got jobbed were Marques Colston, Fred Taylor, and Mario Williams. Plaxico Burress, Ernest Graham, and Joey Galloway probably also deserved some serious consideration.

Every year when the Pro Bowl is announced people ask why they don't push the voting back to the end of the season. I assume it is mostly about marketing and probably won't change, but the NFL really should push the voting back. If you are going to continue letting fans vote then push fan voting back to weeks 14-17 (rather than starting in October) and let the players vote the last week of the season. Won't happen so whatever. The real problem is that then you get to HOF balloting and Pro Bowls are used as part of the justification for enshrinement.

Re: Pro Bowl 2008
 

I'm shocked that Fred Taylor has never been named to the Pro Bowl. He's certainly had some worthy seasons.

Re: Pro Bowl 2008
 

Im glad Sellers and Cartwright got some recognition.

Re: Pro Bowl 2008
 

I'm just glad Cooley is finally getting his due recognition. I was concerned that Shockey might win out on name alone.

First ...I never said he should go to the pro bowl this year,it has'nt been the best of years for him.
Second...Pierce does alot of other things besides tackling as any middle linebacker can tell you,the Giants D id different than the Skins ...different responsabilities.
Third .........I do believe he does them better than Fletcher,is Flecther ...bad ...no .

I don't know if you have seen Willis play but that guy is an animal!! He's in every play, I say by next year he will be the best middle linebacker in the game. He's that good.

Re: Pro Bowl 2008
 

willis is like ryans... they'll both have 120-170 tackles every year i bet...
