Anyone else notice Orakpo looked lost a couple times?

He pretty much looked lost the whole game and was a waisted pick for the PB with no blitzing allowed.

Not sure if he was lost as much as he was just bored

Fletcher ended up with 5 tackles, second only to UGH T. Newman UGH with 7.

Nice line for McNabb - 3/10 for 78 yds and an INT.

How fitting was it for Homo to throw the game ending int.

Not to hijack the thread, but i was curious if anyone here had ideas for how the pro-bowl could be revamped to make it atleast somewhat relevant again.

personally, i cant think of any game that would actually be worth watching. i think the NFL should just name players to the "pro-bowl" and then leave it at that.

How about the winning conference gets both the winning and losing game checks, and the losing conference gets 0.

I bet that would make it interesting at least.

Short of that, what about the winning players starts Free Agency 1 week early.
Or remove the hitting/defense restrictions, and players with PB injuries are guaranteed 1 year salary.

And maybe move it the week before FA starts, so that the players see it as a chance to make a mark. And keep it in Hawaii.

I've heard a pretty good idea on Football Today about having a rookies vs. sophomores game as part of the Pro Bowl "festivities". Also heard an idea of having NFL rookies vs. college football players who are entering the draft (kinda like a Senior Bowl type of game) to see if they college players are ready to play ball at the pro level (I actually like this idea).

Regardless of what happens, the game needs to be moved to after the Super Bowl and back in Hawaii.

Sounds like another appointment with Dr. Andrews if Bradford played in that game.

I have the feeling Bradford will be visiting Dr. Andrews sometime in the first two years of his pro career, especially if he lands in a team with a bad offensive line.

Which would be US if we waste the #4 pick on him when we could've had Okung or another franchise lineman for the next decade.

Been saying this for years, give them money and awards. Just don't play the game, i'd rather see a skills competition to be honest.

Was it ever relevant?
