I voted for him, hope he gets in. Wish fan voting was limited-either by IP or registration, seems like that's better than being able to vote freely

Re: The official get London Fletcher to the probowl thread
 

moderators keep this thread relevant please, we have to do something as fans to get him in.

Is it just me or has he been kinda quiet lately?

Re: The official get London Fletcher to the probowl thread
 

Last year, Fletcher most definitely deserved to make the pro-bowl. This year, he's OUR best linebacker but I wouldnt put him in the top 5MLBs in the NFC. DEFINITELY not in the top 3, so he shouldnt be in legitimate consideration. In my opinion, the only player on our roster who legitimately deserves to make the NFC team right now its Haynesworth... and perhaps Suisham. Atleast until he misses a field goal.

I voted for Fletcher as much on whole body of work. As for our players, I only voted for AH, brian Orakpo, and Hunter, not much as a punter, but a special teams ace in the hole!

It would be a shame if Fletcher ends up playing his entire career without ever going to the pro-bowl, but he simply hasn't earned it [I]this[/I] year IMO. If Fletcher went, it would only mean that another guy, who really deserved it this year, didnt make the cut, and that's just not right.

It might not be right, but it happens every year. And London is Number 3 in the conference (6th in the league) for tackles this year so he is right there in the mix. I don't think it is an unfair or un-earned reward if he gets in.

also there are 2 inside and 2 olb spots for the NFC, plus alternates, and remember that teams going to the superbowl will not have players represented (How the NFL came up with that is beyond my comprehension). All in all LF is deserving, statistically, and by his history. I wonder if his presence has diminished also as our line has started to gel thus taking him out of plays also.

Re: The official get London Fletcher to the probowl thread
 

this sucks to say, but the way willis and lofton are playing, fletch doesnt have much of a shot. I think its funny that he has hall of fame numbers with no pro bowls to show for it. I think its more likely that he will make the hall than make the pro bowl

Re: The official get London Fletcher to the probowl thread
 

It's hard to believe with the numbers he's posted through the years he has never made a pro-bowl. I'm going to vote for him and hopefully this will be the year for him. IMO there's not many players in the league more deserving than London.

He has been quite of late.

Re: The official get London Fletcher to the probowl thread
 

That is why it falls on us the fans, Redskins nation can do it. we had the most players in the league in first place for their position last year.

Re: The official get London Fletcher to the probowl thread
 

[quote=Mattyk72;627308]Is it just me or has he been kinda quiet lately?[/quote]

Was thinking the same. He had just one or two tackles last game, which seems almost unheard of for London.

This also explains I think why our run defense has been lagging. Haven't heard anything about London being nicked up so I wonder if he's truly slowing down w/ age :(

Going into the season I had this fear that this was year Fletch would just drop in production due to age...but I'm not sure that's necessarily the case right now. It was commonly thought that a strong DL would benefit the linebackers (namely Fletch) but I wonder if the DL is just so good that few opportunities are getting past them and to the linebackers. Thereby lowering the stats for guys like Fletch

Re: The official get London Fletcher to the probowl thread
 

I don't think Fletch get's in this year. He's been solid, no doubt. But how many tackles has he made behind the line of scrimmage, fumbles recovered, interceptions, sacks? He's a great tackler, but in my opinion, he hasn't been that much of difference maker this year.

Here's what's funny, I wouldn't be surprised if D.Hall made it, along with Carter and Orakpo of course.

Sadly, he has slowed down, at least statistically from that blazing start that would have guaranteed a Pro Bowl.

He's still one of the better LBs in the NFL, but his tackles have diminished lately.

Weekly tackle totals: 18,9,16,9,7,6,6,4,2

Still on pace for 136 tackles if he can regain his first-half form.



Still going to vote for him, he's been cheated out of it his whole career.

It would certainly reducle the number of tackles guys like Fletcher get, but it should INCREASE their opportunities for turnovers and big plays, shouldn't it?

Re: The official get London Fletcher to the probowl thread
 

Vote for HUNTER SMITH also. :)

I believe this could be the case, the sacks have steadily increased as the season has progressed...meaning the ball carriers aren't even getting into London's territory.

Re: The official get London Fletcher to the probowl thread
 

[B]EASY WAY TO VOTE FOR LONDON MULTIPLE TIMES: (probably common sense, nothing revolutionary...but putting it out there)

I completed my ballot for all positions.

Clicked on "VOTE AGAIN".

Click on DEFENSE tab, INSIDE LB, London's name, SUBMIT, skipping the remainder of the positions. Takes all of 5 seconds total with a good connection. Just cast 10 votes for him and will try to remember to do to daily.

EVERYONE DO THIS! Doesn't take much time at all and we can really get a ton of votes cast.

London Fletcher deserves this.[/B]

Re: The official get London Fletcher to the probowl thread
 

Fletcher had 13 tackles, 1 INT.
