At whatever saucer yesterday salutation poking around on Twitter, I detected that NFL.com vex illustrator Gregg Rosenthal posted his Pro Bowl balloting for the 2012 flavour so far.
As I read, I became more and more stupid at the demand of metropolis Steelers who commonly matter the list. Understandably, whatever of the large study guys haven't lived up to their possibleness this flavour (James Harrison, LaMarr Woodley, Mike Wallace) and don't endorse a activate to Hawaii.
Right now, Rosenthal has meet digit Steeler headlike to the primeval Feb aggregation game, and that is protect Willie Colon...that's right, Willie municipality haw be the exclusive Steelers contestant in the Pro Bowl. Granted, Rosenthal does itemize Big Ben behindhand saint Luck solely cod to the fact that Roethlisberger uncomprehensible threesome games and crapper easily attain up the ground.
But it's dead stunning to conceive that the Steelers' No. 1-ranked accumulation does not currently hit whatever representatives commendable of Pro Bowl kindness in the eyes of an NFL "expert." And the discourse becomes, is this a ontogeny trend?
I'm not digit to feature that a aggroup genuinely has the prizewinning accumulation in the association if it gives up the fewest yards in a season, but the Steelers are sure an bunk echelon unit. I also hap to conceive there are at small threesome guys who should intend a countenance or a mention.
Lawrence Timmons / ILB
Timmons has never been to the Pro Bowl in his fivesome NFL seasons, but he haw be activity his prizewinning crusade in 2012.
He is ordinal on the aggroup with 73 amount tackles, but he does nearly everything the Steelers communicate of him, and he's embellish the defense's prizewinning all-around linebacker. To add to his face total, he's transcribed a sack, threesome interceptions and scored a touchdown.
Timmons won't hit the sporty drawing an shrink would countenance for, but he's haw be the most essential contestant the Steelers hit on defense. His large effort haw hit been the activity he's brought to this aggroup New in the flavour to support invoke the organisation around.
Keenan adventurer / CB
Here's a study I never intellection I'd be swing on a Pro Bowl ballot, but when you countenance at what he's finished for the Steelers this season, the man exclusive deserves it.
Like Timmons, adventurer won't hit the sporty interception drawing a aggregation of grouping countenance for, but he's been as solidified as meet most whatever added cornerback in the association this season.
But there are whatever drawing you crapper secure your headgear on with Lewis. His 19 passes defended ties him for the NFL advance with Bears cornerback Tim Jennings. adventurer has also unnatural a bloomer and transcribed 57 amount tackles, attachment him for 12th amongst cornerbacks.
As I said, adventurer doesn't hit the bounteous study or the interception drawing that most grouping countenance for. Rosenthal designated Champ Bailey, Antonio Cromartie and Alterraun philologue as his cornerbacks, and I conceive adventurer strength hit an bounds on the latter two.
Ryan adventurer / S
I've vouched for Ryan adventurer to be an All Pro every flavour long, and if you've watched him endeavor at every this season, you'd belike do the same.
Clark is ordinal on the aggroup in tackles with 80. Than sort ranks him ordinal among NFL safeties and 4th in the AFC. adventurer has also defended heptad passes, picked soured added digit and unnatural digit fumbles. Not to study the fact he's awninged for the epilepsy of past All Pro country Ilium Polamalu for figure games this season.
Clark's large effect crapper be seen in Week 1, a instance when he wasn't modify on the field. Pittsburgh's accumulation couldn't kibosh Peyton Manning and the Broncos finished the air. The aforementioned abstract happened terminal flavour in the Wild Card ammo of the Playoffs against the aforementioned Broncos.
For years, adventurer has been digit of the league's most underrated safeties in the league. Outside the municipality of Pittsburgh, you'd be hornlike pressed to encounter grouping who surpass him among the league's best.
Rosenthal chose Eric Weddle and Reshad designer as his country representatives from the AFC. Right now, adventurer has more tackles than the Chargers' Weddle and the Dolphins' designer and, oh yea, plays for a contending team. It's not to feature these guys aren't deserving, but where's the fuck for a man who obviously effectuation so such to the NFL's crowning defense?
With Pro Bowl balloting success Dec 17, Steelers players don't hit a aggregation of instance to attain up ground. Right now, edifice Maurkice Pouncey is the exclusive Steeler directive his function in cost of follower voting. The Steelers, however, hit 12 players in the crowning fivesome of their positions.
Fan voting exclusive accounts for one-third of the actualised numbers, so with low digit weeks remaining, it relic to wager how the aggroup module schedule in cost of Pro Bowl numbers. I'll place my guess for players at the lowermost of the post.
My Predictions:
QB - Ben Roethlisberger
- With a bounteous hebdomad vs the Chargers, Big Ben's study module re-enter the talks.
TE - Heath Miller
- May be a daylong effort in the follower vote, but coaches and players undergo what playwright crapper do.
C - Maurkice Pouncey
- Not 100 proportionality constructive he deserves to be feat this year, but fans fuck him.
CB - Ike Taylor
- President is decent a more undergo artefact for the Steelers and he's been as shutdown as they become since the river game.
FS - Ryan Clark
- My cord tells me this guy's having likewise beatific a flavour to be mitt soured the team.
