CBS - Sportsline Pro Bowl picks

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Is Adrian Wilson REALLY that good?

[That Guy]

i'd take portis over dunn, thomas over somebody and m washington at OLB... its not a very good list...

[SkinsLove24/7]

Sean Taylor???

[12thMan]

The most we'll put in the Pro-Bowl is three players. As many as four deserve to go, but I don't think we'll have more than three.

Portis
Taylor
Moss

Wow, I didn't realize I picked three from the "U"!

[onlydarksets]

Washington really deserves it, too, but it doesn't seem like he's getting a whole lot of respect this year in the voting.

[12thMan]

Well, if Williams get's in because of that, that should make Mr. Taylor (and I 'aint talkin 'bout Jacobs!) a shoe in!!

[D'BOYZ]

Bledsoe is having a good year and is the 2nd best NFC QB and its playing way better than brunnel, Witten is having a good year dispite he has had to been use more as a blocking TE than a receiving 1 because of our problems at tackle and that has hurth his numbers and still is having a better season than cooley dispite this matter but will not get in because of shockey having a great year and Crumpler having more REP.

Player Team G Rec Yds Yds/G Lng Avg TDs 20+
Chris Cooley WAS 13 58 654 50.3 32 11.3 3 5
Jason Witten DAL 13 57 657 50.5 34 11.5 4 6

Allen will get in he's having a good season not great but will get in base on REP , Glover should get in becasue he's having a great season dispite not playing the hole game aprox 60% of the snaps but won't get in I believe.

R.Williams will get in he has more respect fro mthe players and coaches than the media and is having a good season 3 missed assignment (2 vs Was 1 vs Den) that hurth us but overall he is as good as they come.

Now Arizona Wilson is having a good year, Sharper is putting the number so he will get in, Dawkings will get in base on rep more thn anything or Smith whos having a good year.

As I said before Taylor is not there yet maybe next year.

So I believe Cowboys would have 3 maybe 4

Witten and Cooley are neck and neck, I wouldn't say either is having a better season than the other. Their numbers are almost identical.

Yes the numbers are almost Identical that what I said and that's wit hwitten playing more as a blocking TE than a receiving 1 because he ahs to help the O-line a lot.

But anyway only 2 get in and I think it will be Crumpler and Shokey even thought Witten is doing more than Crumpler

Cooley lines up all over the place, from the backfield to the line to spread out wide.

I really doubt Witten does more than Cooley. H-back is a much more complex position than TE.

DISCLAIMER - I hate that I am posting this:
That's a double-edged argument, though. How many receptions has Cooley gotten because he has lined up at WR or has been in motion? I guess the counter argument is that he has had to line up at FB a fair number of times, so maybe it balances out?

FWIW, you are obviously correct that Cooley does more than Witten. There should really be a "utility player" category (kind of like the 6th man award in the NBA) for the guy who does so much that it can't be categorized into a single position.

Mattyk I'm sorry but Witten also lines up all over the place as fullback, HB, WR and TE even KJ has line up as a hb

Well I guess they are pretty even then, just like I originally said.

[illdefined]

one thing to notice from these picks for all who claim "Portis is underrated".

Ladanian Tomlinson and Shaun Alexander are going to the Pro-Bowl most likely not alone, and in no small part to their potentially Pro-Bowl Fullbacks Lorenzo Neal and Mack Strong leading the way.

as for Portis, nobody has produced more for the Redskins offense this year and last. mostly by himself with only occaisional help from fullback Mike Sellers...

[MTK]

Not sure I'm following your logic, why should it matter where he lines up as far as catches go?
