D. Hall is our lone Pro Bowl selection

[GTripp0012]

From a Redskins fan perspective, I think one of the weirdest things about Hall going to the pro bowl is that Rogers and Buchanon can't get that spot, even though they were our two best corners in YPT. Truth is, if Hall doesn't go, Rogers and Buchanon still aren't getting any consideration, because the narrative on our defense is that it handed out passing yards like candy.

The narrative is correct, but Rogers and Buchanon actually kept the problem from being a lot worse than it was. Moore, Doughty, Landry, and Hall gave up way too many yards to a man, and contributed equally to our yardage problem. Obviously, Landry and Hall both made a number of winning plays, and Moore did not.

If CBs are balloted in based solely on INTs, then it's not so weird Rogers and Buchanon were not elected to the Pro Bowl, especially Rogers.

Yeah I would assume a CB ballot to the pro bowl would more likely be based on playmaking turnovers than yards allowed in a game. Flashy usually gets you to Hawaii. Look at London...

A dynamic on field personality is def part of it.
