CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2004 NEW YORK -- Donovan McNabb and Terrell Owens were among nine Philadelphia Eagles voted to the Pro Bowl, the most representatives for a team since 1998. The Eagles, who already clinched home-field advantage for the NFC playoffs with a 13-1 record, easily had the most Pro Bowlers in results announced Wednesday. Joining quarterback McNabb and wide receiver Owens, who had ankle surgery Wednesday and is out for the rest of the regular season and perhaps the playoffs, were tackle Tra Thomas, linebacker Jeremiah Trotter, placekicker David Akers, special teamer Ike Reese, and three of four secondary starters: cornerback Lito Sheppard and safeties Michael Lewis and Brian Dawkins. "You just try to encourage all the guys," McNabb said. "It's good to see that Lito, Mike and Ike have made it and get an opportunity to get over there and get a good feel of All-Star play and to say that they've been a Pro Bowler. It says a lot for this organization, it says a lot for those players and it says a lot for this team. "We're going to continue this thing on and continue to open up eyes." Pittsburgh, the league's other 13-1 team, had the next-most selections in balloting by players, coaches and fans. The Steelers had six: linebackers Joey Porter and James Farrior, safety Troy Polamalu, center Jeff Hartings, guard Alan Faneca and wide receiver Hines Ward. That led the AFC, ahead of Baltimore and Kansas City with five each, while Indianapolis and New England had four apiece. Green Bay, Atlanta and Dallas had four each in the NFC for the game in Honolulu on Feb. 13. For only the third time, a set of brothers made the same Pro Bowl. Cornerback Ronde Barber of Tampa Bay and running back Tiki Barber of the Giants were selected - the first twins to make it. The other brothers were Bruce and Clay Matthews in 1989 and 1990, Sterling and Shannon Sharpe from 1993-95. Peyton Manning set a record in the fan voting and was a runaway choice for AFC quarterback, along with the Patriots' Tom Brady and the Chargers' Drew Brees. "I certainly appreciate it," said Manning, who is one touchdown pass short of Dan Marino's record of 48 in a season. "I know it's voted on by my peers, by the coaches and the fans, and I'm proud to represent the Colts there." The other Colts on the AFC roster were wide receiver Marvin Harrison, running back Edgerrin James and defensive end Dwight Freeney, the league's sacks leader with 15. On becoming first Colts defender since end John Dutton from 1975-77 to make it in two straight years, Freeney said, "You want to make it a consistent thing." Two consistent Pro Bowlers, Vikings wideout Randy Moss and Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher, did not make it, mostly because of injuries. Curtis Martin, the league's leading rusher with 1,511 yards, was one of three Jets chosen, joining defensive end John Abraham and center Kevin Mawae. Martin is having one of the best seasons of a 10-year career in which he has rushed for at least 1,000 yards each time. "It feels good to do it in your 10th year, especially at the position like running back," he said. "There are so many other good talented running backs in the NFL, some of whom I feel have much more talent than I do. To be chosen over some of them, it feels good." The other AFC running back was San Diego's LaDainian Tomlinson. The NFC runners were Shaun Alexander of Seattle and Ahman Green of Green Bay. Joining McNabb as NFC quarterbacks were Michael Vick of Atlanta and Daunte Culpepper of Minnesota. The Pro Bowl teams are made up of the consensus votes of fans, players and coaches. Each group's vote counts one-third toward determining the 43-man rosters. The starters for the annual all-star game, to be played Feb. 13 in Honolulu, will be announced during one of the halftimes of the wild card games to air on ABC on Jan. 8. They should have just voted the entire Eagles team to the NFC roster. Same difference. Antonio Gates made the AFC squad, which made me happy. I love watching him play.

KingPK 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2004 Eh, Dillon was a victim of too many good RBs in the AFC. I'd put Bruschi in over Ray Lewis (who is having a fairly mediocre season by his standards), though, but that's just me thinking he's the most underrated player in football. Can't fault Farrior being there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustJoe2k5 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2004 Michael Vick going to the Pro Bowl is pretty sad.

There are plenty of other quarterbacks in the NFC that have had better years than him, being a fast-runner shouldn't make you an automatic Pro Bowl selection considering a quarterbacks job is to pass. I agree with that, but I figured that they'd throw the fans a couple of bones, and that was one of them. Still, let's compare Vick to some other NFC QBs not playing in Chicago, New Jersey, DC or San Fran. Name - passing TDs - running TDs - INTs - 300+ yd passing games - completion % Josh McCown: 6, 0, 7, 1, 57% Michael Vick: 11 , 2 , 10 , 0, 57.3% Jake "The Boy": 21, 0, 14, 2, 57.3% Vinnie Testaverde: 14, 1, 17, 3, 59% Brett Favrerererere: 22, 0, 13, 3, 63.0% Joey Harrington: 15, 0, 8, 0, 54.9% Aaron Brooks: 17, 3, 14, 2, 56.9% Matt Hasselbeck: 18, 0, 13, 3, 56.6% Mark Bulger: 17, 2, 12, 3, 65.3% Brian Griese: 16, 0, 9, 2, 69.6% Draw your own conclusions...

NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2004 Redskins should have more starters on Defense then just Marcus Washington. Antonio Pierce has definately had a better year then Trotter, as Trotter has not even started the entire year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustJoe2k5 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2004 The fact that they put him on the team even though Culpepper and McNabb can do everything he does and are infinitely better passers gets to me. Jake Delhomme would've been perfect for the Pro Bowl team, he has had a great year and his favorite target, Mushin Muhammed, is also on the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conspiracy_Victim 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2004 Interesting choice of CBs for the AFC. Just for shits and giggles, a comparison: Champ Bailey 72 tackles 3 ints 10 passes defensed 0 sacks 0 forced fumbles Chris Mcalister 36 tackles 1 int 8 passes defensed 0 sacks 0 forced fumbles Tory James 56 tackles 7 ints 10 passes defensed 0 sacks 2 forced fumbles Dunta Robinson 76 tackles 6 ints 19 passes defensed 3 sacks 2 forced fumbles Nice to see that they're rewarding the best players at the position, eh? Now give Defensive Rookie of the Year award to part time player Jonathan Vilma (he plays for NY, he must be good ya know) and screw Robinson all the way.

therealworldschampion 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2004 Anyone else find it hard to get into this game? I would rather see it played in mainland United States and rotated around and treated like Baseball's all-star game. The Pro Bowl is definitley the worst of the 4 major sports' all-star games. Mostly because it's at the end of the season and everyone half-asses it to avoid getting a serious injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know, I was just about to start making a case of why Favre should have made it over Vick, but it appears you already did the homework for me. Thanks! And I agree about Westbrook making the Pro Bowl over Green, even though I'm not sure if I'd classify Westbrook as a premier running back, but he is probably the best receiving back in the NFC now, since Faulk's definitely has hit the decline, with only LT in San Diego being a better receiving back. Scary thought is, the AFC roster looks EXACTLY like the ballot I voted in. I love the irony of San Diego taking a QB with their first pick and then having the incumbent Brees make the Pro Bowl. Way to go, Drew! The NFC Roster is silly. I'm happy Javon Walker made it, but I don't know about the offensive linemen that got voted in from the conference. AFC should stomp on the NFC this year, though of course it depends on who decides to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Happy Medium 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2004 Roy doesnt deserve to make the team this year. However, Jason Witten does. Not only has he puts good numbers catching the ball, but he has been a very good blocking TE as well. I haven't been watching to see how Glover has been for the Cowboys...but eh. Meanwhile...Kruetz is a much more overrated player than Brian Urlacher (who is overhyped if anything). Even when he has a healthy line to play with, he often commits penalties and just isn't all that great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2004 Fred Smoot deserved to be higher, he hasn't given up a single passing TD this entire season. Shawn Springs should get comeback player of the year, IMO considering the last couple of years he has been injured, and everyone figured he was done as a #1 corner, but he has played EXCELLENT in Washington. I know I am a Skins fan, which makes me a shill for my team, but come on their defense is ranked #2 in the league and they have ONE starter on defense?

Damaramu 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2004 Why doesn't Roy deserve to make the team? And if he doesn't why is he on there? Is it some Cowboy conspiracy?

Precious Roy 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2004 I don't have a problem with Vick making it, even with the sketchy stats, because his team wins games, and not many QB's in the NFC can say that.

Prime Time Andrew Doyle 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2004 A good alternate Pro Bowl squad from Pete Prisco from Sportsline The Pro Bowl voting is part popularity vote, which doesn't always do the players justice. When fans are involved, it's going to be that way, especially since their votes count a third in choosing the two teams To help get a better gauge of what we think should be the real Pro Bowl teams, we talked with a handful of scouts and personnel directors to come up with our own Pro Bowl teams. Popularity matters little here. This is based on football. Forget salary. Forget name recognition. Forget what happened in the past. This Pro Bowl team is based on production. Reputation is damned. If your name is here, you've earned it -- at least in the eyes of the scouts and, most importantly, me. So here are the 2004 SportsLine.com Pro Bowl teams. AFC offense Quarterback Starter: Peyton Manning, Colts. Reserves: Drew Brees, Chargers; Tom Brady, Patriots. Just missed: Trent Green, Chiefs. Comment: Who else could be the starter but Manning? The choice of Brady over Green was a tough one. Running back Starter: Curtis Martin, Jets. Reserves: Edgerrin James, Colts; Corey Dillon, Patriots. Just missed: LaDainian Tomlinson, Chargers; Fred Taylor, Jaguars; Rudi Johnson, Bengals. Comment: A deep, deep position, with Martin and James the definitive choices since they are 1-2 in the league. Fullback Starter: Daimon Shelton, Bills. Just missed: Lorenzo Neal, Chargers. Comment: Shelton is a sledgehammer blocking linebackers. Wide receiver Starters: Jimmy Smith, Jaguars; Chad Johnson, Bengals. Reserves: Marvin Harrison, Colts; Andre Johnson, Texans. Just missed: Derrick Mason, Titans; Drew Bennett, Titans. Comment: Smith leads the top receivers in yards per catch at 16.4, while Johnson just edges out Harrison. Tight end Starter: Antonio Gates, Chargers. Reserve: Tony Gonzalez, Chiefs. Just missed: Randy McMichael, Dolphins. Comment: Gates has proved to be a big-play pass receiver, which might open the door for more basketball-playing tight ends. Tackle Starters: Willie Roaf, Chiefs; Marvel Smith, Steelers. Reserve: Jonathan Ogden, Ravens. Just missed: Willie Anderson, Bengals. Comment: Roaf continues to improve with age, while Smith had a dominant year for the Steelers. Guard Starters: Brian Waters, Chiefs; Alan Faneca, Steelers. Reserve: Rick DeMulling, Colts. Just missed: Pete Kendall, Jets; Edwin Mulitalo, Ravens; Will Shields, Chiefs. Comment: Waters is now the best guard in the AFC, while Faneca is close behind. Center Starter: Jeff Saturday, Colts. Reserve: Kevin Mawae, Jets. Just missed: Jeff Hartings, Steelers. Comment: Saturday is the guy who makes all the line calls in the Colts' complicated offense. AFC defense End Starters: Dwight Freeney, Colts; John Abraham, Jets. Reserve: Richard Seymour, Patriots. Just missed: Aaron Smith, Steelers. Comment: Freeney is as explosive as they come, while Abraham is again playing like he did two years ago. Tackle Starters: John Henderson, Jaguars; Marcus Stroud, Jaguars. Reserve: Jamal Williams, Chargers. Just missed: Dewayne Robertson, Jets. Comment: Henderson has played slightly better than Stroud the past month. Williams is the best 3-4 tackle this season. Outside linebacker Starters: Keith Bulluck, Titans; Terrell Suggs, Ravens. Reserve: Joey Porter, Steelers. Just missed: Eric Barton, Jets. Comment: Bulluck remains a steady player for the Titans, while Suggs has become much more than a sack specialist. Inside linebacker Starter: Donnie Edwards, Chargers. Reserves: Ray Lewis, Ravens; James Farrior, Steelers. Just missed: Al Wilson, Broncos; Jonathan Vilma, Jets. Comment: This is a strong position in the AFC, and Edwards has been a key to the resurgence of the Chargers. He gets a slight edge over Lewis. Cornerback Starters: Sam Madison, Dolphins; Dunta Robinson, Texans (rookie). Reserves: Champ Bailey, Broncos. Just missed: Tory James, Bengals; Patrick Surtain, Dolphins; Rashean Mathis, Jaguars. Comment: Madison is having a nice bounce-back season, while Robinson has been everything the Texans thought he would be. Safety Starters: Ed Reed, Ravens; Troy Polamalu, Steelers. Reserve: Rodney Harrison, Patriots. Just missed: Eric Coleman, Jets. Comment: Reed should be the defensive player of the year, while Polamalu has made major strides as a second-year player. Specialists Kicker: Adam Vinatieri, Patriots. Punter: Shane Lechler, Raiders. Return man: Terrence McGee, Bills. Special teams player: Jarrod Cooper, Raiders. NFC offense Quarterback Starter: Daunte Culpepper, Vikings. Reserves: Donovan McNabb, Eagles; Brett Favre, Packers. Just missed: Jake Delhomme, Panthers. Comment: Culpepper gets the slight edge over McNabb based on his better stats. Running back Starter: Shaun Alexander, Seahawks. Reserves: Tiki Barber, Giants, Brian Westbrook, Eagles. Just missed: Ahman Green, Packers. Comment: It's a down year for backs in the NFC, but Alexander and Barber both put up nice numbers. Fullback Starter: Mack Strong, Seahawks. Just missed: Justin Griffith, Falcons. Comment: Strong is the best blocking fullback in the NFC, opening up holes for Alexander. Wide receiver Starters: Joe Horn, Saints; Terrell Owens, Eagles. Reserves: Javon Walker, Packers; Muhsin Muhammad, Panthers. Just missed: Torry Holt, Rams. Comment: Horn and Owens are both 30 and up, so the old guys rule. Walker is a star in the making. Tight end Starter: Jason Witten, Cowboys. Reserve: Alge Crumpler, Falcons. Just missed: Eric Johnson, 49ers. Comment: Witten has emerged as a big-play tight end in his second season. Crumpler can catch it and block well. Tackle Starters: Walter Jones, Seahawks; Tra Thomas, Eagles. Reserve: Chad Clifton, Packers. Just missed: Orlando Pace, Rams; Bryant McKinnie, Vikings. Comment: Jones is a perennial, while Thomas bounced back from a subpar 2003 season to have a much better year. Guard Starters: Larry Allen, Cowboys; Kynan Forney, Falcons. Reserve: Mike Wahle, Packers. Just missed: Steve Hutchinson, Seahawks. Comment: Allen has bounced back with a big season, while Forney is a power player who doesn't get the attention he deserves. Center Starter: LeCharles Bentley, Saints. Reserve: Olin Kreutz, Bears. Just missed: Al Johnson, Cowboys. Comment: Bentley is a force in the middle after moving from guard, and clearly gets this nod. NFC defense End Starters: Julius Peppers, Panthers; Simeon Rice, Bucs. Reserve: Patrick Kerney, Falcons. Just missed: Bertrand Berry, Cardinals Comment: Is there a better end in football than Peppers? Rice has come on strong. Tackle Starters: Shaun Rogers, Lions; Kevin Williams, Vikings. Reserve: Rod Coleman, Falcons. Just missed: Cornelius Griffin, Redskins. Comment: Rogers is the class of the NFC linemen, while Williams gets a slight edge over Coleman. Outside linebacker Starters: Marcus Washington, Redskins; Lance Briggs, Bears. Reserve: Derrick Brooks, Bucs. Just missed: Karlos Dansby, Cardinals. Comment: Two new faces get the starts this year since both had outstanding years. Brooks is still steady. Inside linebacker Starter: Dan Morgan, Panthers. Reserve: Antonio Pierce, Redskins. Just missed: Nick Barnett, Packers. Comment: A tough position to pick because there are no real standouts. Morgan is when healthy, but he missed time. Cornerback Starters: Fred Smoot, Redskins; Marcus Trufant, Seahawks. Reserve: Lito Sheppard, Eagles. Just missed: Shawn Springs, Redskins. Comment: Smoot has excelled with Champ Bailey moving on, while Trufant has come into his own in his second season. Safety Starters: Brian Dawkins, Eagles; Adrian Wilson, Cardinals. Reserve: Sean Taylor, Redskins. Just missed: Mike Green, Bears. Comment: Dawkins is the best safety in the conference, while Wilson is a rising star. Specialists Kicker: David Akers, Eagles. Punter: Mitch Berger, Saints. Return man: Eddie Drummond, Lions. Special teams player: Torrie Cox, Bucs. Just missed: Mel Mitchell, Saints. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
