Pro Bowl: Jake Long starting LT

Jake's the only Dolphin to make it.

The NFL's best blocking fullback and first down machine loses out to Le'Ron McClain's 902 yards in 2008.

Neither he nor anyone else got a sniff this year.

 

I'm at least glad Long made it again. IMO, he's our best player right now. Polite definitely got snubbed, but I'm not sure you can really make a case for anyone else. Maybe Starks, but that's about it.

 

Polite should have made it. And it's insane that Randy Starks didn't make it. He is arguably the best 3-4 defensive end in the league. Jake Grove and Vernon Carey deserved to make it, too.

 

Polite not being voted into the Pro Bowl is absolutely criminal. Jake Grove probably should have been in, if not for the injury causing him to miss games. Also would have liked to see Randy Starks get in, but this is a popularity contest and 3-4 DEs go unrecognized.

 

Grove and Carey should have made it, IMO.

 

polite and starks are the only other ones worthy imo. so not too bad.

ricky would've been nice....

 

Ricky's my dark horse for Comeback Player of the Year. Though I suspect that award will go to Vince Young up in Tennessee.

 

Polite not making it is ridiculous. There is not a single FB playing better than Lousaka right now, IMO.

 

Brian Cushing and Brian Orakpo defenitely deserve it. Both have been great this season.

 

Left tackle Jake Long makes Pro Bowl, only Dolphin on the team

Here is an article on Jake Long's second Pro Bowl appearance:

Boy, if you're a Bengals fan, you've got to be pretty upset with getting zero recognition.

 

Kind of surprised to see DRC making it, to be honest.

 

Im not sure how you can think Carey deserves to make it. He tends to be penalized quite a bit and is not nearly reliable as the three tackles that did make the team. Jake Grove played well but was also injured for 3-4 games.

 

You know who didn't make it? Your boy Rey Maualuga or Beanie Wells. :tongue2:

 

Carey has been a disappointment this year. he should not have made it.

 

Maualuga's playing OLB I thought?

 

Here's a fair question....how many of these players actually play in the PB? I dont care how much the NFL fines me if I'm the owner of the Colts and I'm superbowl bound my dudes are NOT playing in this meaningless game before the superbowl.

 

Call me crazy but I think if you have Orakpo or Cushing in there, you've got to find some room for Michael Oher at tackle.

 

I thought for sure Polite was going to make it. Kinda pissed McClain got in.

 

Good for Big Jake. Im surprised Polite didn't make it. Actually im not really surprised, im rather ticked off about it. That guy deserved to be there. No Ifs, ands or buts about it.

 

Polite and Starks got snubbed. Matt Schaub got snubbed, Brady should not be ahead of him. The Bengals and Falcons got snubbed. The 8 Vikings=overrated along with the 6 cowboys, but thats always the case with them.

 

But over the course of the entire season, Carey has played very good. That's what counts.

 

This statemant is ridiculous. He's having a great season.

 

Too bad about Polite and Starks. If the team had shown up for the 1st half of the last two games, they probably would have made it.

 

The fact that an O-Lineman from Minny got in made my laugh :lol:...they are absolutely terrible...and Polite definitely got snubbed.

 

The Pro Bowl is played after the Super Bowl.

Polite and Starks should have made it too...

 

No its not...not this yr. Its before the superbowl.

The PB is Jan. 31 this yr.

Wow...thanks alot I didn't know that...WTF is up with that? Freakin' ignorant.

 

I think Grove would've been in had he not gotten injured. Carey, eh, it's a close call, but the way he's played the last two weeks, I'm not surprised he's not in it.

 

He is for now. Sad to see a broken ankle derail his rookie year. I think that once Dhani Jones is no longer a Bengal, Maualuga will move to the middle. The way Brandon Johnson has played the last month would warrant a starting role for them IMO.

Having Rivers, Maualuga, and Johnson with a mixture of Rashad Jeanty isn't a bad situation for down the road. I know they're also trying to develop Michael Johnson to play some OLB in the future a la the Cardinals defense last year in pass-rushing situations with Dansby and LaBoy.

 

Disappointed as hell since Im going to the game. If it was publicized harder that it was in Miami, we would've gotten more votes. But that's the problem with the ProBowl. Since its always in Hawaii, people in the Continental US dont care since its never been near them. It should ALWAYS be in the States.

 

Schaub and Brady have very similar numbers. Brady' team has lockedup the AFCE and of course, Brady has his history and popularity. Not sure Schaub got snubbed.

I think Vincent Jackson got snubbed but his numbers and Marshalls are similar. What about Santonio Holmes.

 

Mike Roos got snubbed again, as did Ocho and Palmer.
