    Re: Pro Bowl AFC

    To cover a guy really well and make interceptions is a great thing but, if I had to make a choice if I could only have one from a player would be, good coverage skills.

      I just don't get it.

      Kemoeatu is a third alternate and Ike Taylor isn't even on anybody's list? Is he overshadowed by Troy or is it anti-Steeler bias? Or is it he doesn't pick off passes? We all know he is a top 5 CB in the league.

        there is no logic to it which is why the pro bowl and every all star game in any sport imo is crap and not watchable. im shocked kiesel didnt make it as well as ike but there are a ton of snubs. how marshawn lynch, cam newton and london fletcher didnt make it is beyond me. fletcher is leading the nfl in tackles!!!

        ive always hated how some players always make it based on reputation. troy makes it every single year. how can anyone justify ray lewis being in the pro bowl? it reminds me of cal ripken making the all star game in his twilight years when he really didnt deserve it

          I agree, Pouncey hasn't been at pro bowl caliber but, neither is Ray Lewis.

          Had Ray Lewis missed as much games as Harrison or Woodley or missed even more games he, would still be elected.
          Harrison and Woodley have 10 starts each in 15 games to this point. Lewis has 11 starts in his 15 games.
          Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

          Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

          We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

          We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
