The Pro Bowl Thread
 

I thought it would be nice to have a Pro Bowl thread. I just saw this posted by Peter King from the folks at PFF:

I think it is nice to see three offensive players (RG3, Morris, and Monty) being considered by some of the sports people out there as Pro Bowl players.

Not intending to hijack thread, but every year when PB voting comes around my blood boils about London getting screwed. Did anyone else notice during the Cleveland game when they compared stats between Ray and London? Nearly identical, though London averages 6-7 more tackles per season and Ray has 5-6 more total sacks, yet Ray's been to more than double the PBs.

PB is meaningless IMHO.

Don't forget about T. Wizzle [B](Trent Williams (WAS)[/B]

I can't believe I missed him. So make that four offensive players.

Such a shame that RG3 will have to decline the probowl invitation this year... Guess the SB ring will make up for it

Re: The Pro Bowl Thread
 

Lorenzo Alexander should be there for ST play, same goes for Forbath.

Re: The Pro Bowl Thread
 

No Darrell Young?

Yep but Ray has; 2 more defensive player of the year awards, one more super bowl mvp award and and one murder on London :laughing-

I love London and what he has done for this team and his career, but Ray Lewis was cleared of those charges. He plead guilty to obstruction of justice. Unless you were there you have no idea of what transpired. When people get caught up in bad situations they make careless decisions. Is he totally innocent...probably not, but the legal system has cleared him of murder. I think we should honor that.

well we won't have to worry this year as he has not played at a prow bowl level . . . the last few games he has been much better, but as much as i love me some Fletcher he is not the same player he used to be . . .

I was joking. Hence why there was a laughing smiley face after that statement.

Yes Ray Lewis is a better LB than London, but I think that London is deserving of the hall of fame as much as ray is. London was playing on bad teams and/or bad defensive teams, which wouldn't get him as much notoriety as Ray Lewis did.

I know you were joking, but I do not believe that it is something to joke about. Murder is not funny.

I completely agree with your asessment of Fletcher.

Unfortunately, I agree. He's deserved to be there many years when he wasn't, but this isn't one of those years he deserves to be there.

No, he's not a prow bowl player this year, and you totally missed the point.

Not saying Ray Lewis isn't better, but look at the talent that was around him for a long time. I think Fletcher in that defense, and it doesn't miss a beat.

Redskins Pro Bowl candidates:

RGIII
Alfred Morris
Trent Williams
London Fletcher
Kai Forbath

Being on a winning team makes it much more likely that a player will make the Pro Bowl.

That's a nice list. I'm not sure about Forbath though. He joined the team in-season when the NFL's top kickers already had a head start on him.

I think RG3, Morris, Trent, and Lorenzo all make it. Fletcher gets left out because of Bowman and Willis in San Fran (only 2 MLB spots in the pro bowl)
Kobra Kai gets left out as well, because of Zuerlin and Walsh being better throughout the Whole year as opposed to 3/4s of the year.

Yeah Kai and Garcon miss out because of missed time, but they are both playing probowl caliber now. I also think darrell young is a sure shot.

I believe RGIII and Morris are both a lock for the Pro Bowl. Now if the game actually existed!

Of course we all know RGIII and Morris won't be playing in the Pro Bowl game anyways since the Super Bowl teams don't play their players! ;-)

Re: The Pro Bowl Thread
 

[quote=skinsguy;978561]I believe RGIII and [B]Morris[/B] are both a lock for the Pro Bowl. Now if the game actually existed![/quote]

I wouldn't say "Lock" but has a great chance of getting in.

Adrian Peterson
Marshawn Lynch
{Morris?}
Gore
Doug Martin
Matt Forte

Keep in mind that the fans get 1/3, the players get 1/3 and the coaches get 1/3 of the vote, and how the fans vote will be telling to see if they want to go with the same old same old kind of players (Forte and Gore for example) or the 'better' players like Morris. Morris being a rookie could be a knock on him not making it.

NFL Fans in general are more in tuned with who the top guys are, especially if they are into fantasy football. I mean, while I'm a true homer for the 'skins through and through, if I know there is a much more deserving player in that position, I vote for that player. Everybody who watches the NFL knows what kind of season Alfred Morris has had as well as Peterson. Between the players and the coaches, I would suspect Morris is definitely a pro bowler this year.

You're predicting that we're going to go all the way? I like your confidence. I would hope for anything less. At the level the Redskins are playing now, the Redskins would be a sure bet to play in the big game in New Orleans on February 3rd. I'm not concerned with Houston, Atlanta, or New England. The Redskins can beat all three of those teams.
