Haynesworth, Vanden Bosch and Bironas.

That's good enough.

Though I would think that Keith Bulluck deserves it more than Vanden Bosch this season.

Robbed:

Mario Williams, Jason Taylor making it over him
Andre Carter, Osi U. making it over him
Charles Woodson, Terrence Newman making it over him

It's a damn shame that Barret Ruud didn't make it. I've been very impressed by him.

They **** up the Tackles this season too.

Walter Jones and Matt Light?

another player robbed is Eagles Trent Cole. Osi made it based on one game. He better take Winston Justice with him.

Woodson and Barnett getting left off really bugs the hell out of me. Driver shouldn't have gone. If anything Greg Jennings needed to get in over him.

Not that I didn't expect it, but...

Dallas: 11 pro bowlers
Minnesota: 7 pro bowlers
Green Bay: 4 pro bowlers

Seriously...Minnesota? 7?

Wow thats nuts

Driver over Jennings??

Chris Samuels over anyone??

Al Harris?? Ridiculous.

Ogden? How many games did he even play this year?

Jason Taylor? Seriously?

I don't have an issue with any of them except Darren Sharper.

They've been dominant in the front lines, and it shows, with the Pro Bowl selections.

I agree. I'm not stunned Trent Cole didn't make it, but i definitely thought he should have made it. Mike Patterson was worthy of making it too. On the other hand, Shawn Andrews arguably shouldn't have made it. He wasn't nearly as good as he was last year.

I can't believe Fred Taylor was snubbed again. :nonono:

No Jaguars made it.

The votes for NFC strong safeties ended up being:

Darren Sharper
Roy Williams
LaRon Landry

Landry should have been the starter but hes only a rookie. He will get in next year because people finally realize Roy Williams is an average football player.

No one on that D-Line deserved to go. I live in the heart of Viking country and watch each of their games. Their own media and fans have called the defensive tackles rather large underachievers, Kevin Williams in particular.

Average?

At this point Roy dreams of being average.

Atogwe should have made it at Safety but the Rams suck so he didnt. Maybe he'll be the replacement.

Absolutely no one can rationally argue that Newman deserved the nod over Woodson. I would've put Woddson in over Harris for that matter. But I might be one of the few Packer fans who think Woodson hs proved to be a more important part to the defense than Harris.

garrard from the jacksonville jaguars should be in the probowl instead of ben rothlisberger. what jack del rio has done with this kid is outstanding. and his team going into pittsburgh and beating them down at pittsburgh was a good win.

the jaguars are a team on the rise, and its happened due to coach jack del rio, and their QB garrard.

It must suck to have a DT that has returned two INTs for Tds. If hes underachieving id hate to think what hed be like at his potential.

As for Redskins. I'm very happy with Cooley making it. Samuels is a good pick even though hes heck of a lot better than Flozell Adams. Nice to see them paying respect to Sean

Would have liked to see London Fletcher, LaRon Landry and Andre Carter. Maybe Clinton Portis but it was a bounce back year for him and he should be back in form with a healthier offensive line next year.

No.

in no particular order, I'd go with

Roman Harper
Michael Lewis
O.J. Otogwe
Atari Bigby
Jermaine Phillips
Chris Harris

over any of those three.

Maybe you guys have high standards. The games that I've watched of them, both Kevin and Pat have been impressive. :dontknow:

(Of course, I am subject to the bias that I've had very limited viewings of them, so take my comments with a truckload of salt)

As for no Jaguars making it... I'm not surprised. No one really stands out for them, and the two that usually make it (Henderson and Stroud) have been mired by injuries this season, and several DTs in the AFC have outplayed them.
