Fletch gets snubbed by Vilma

Re: Redskins in 2010 Pro Bowl
 

Lame as usual. I can't wait until Orakpo moves to DE, he'll be there every year.

Re: Redskins in 2010 Pro Bowl
 

#59 yet again gets snubbed. A damn shame.

Nice to see Rak get in. Should be the first of many.

Re: Redskins in 2010 Pro Bowl
 

How did Laron not make it?? Talk about a snub.

definitley

i started another thread at the same time if you wanna close it

Re: Redskins in 2010 Pro Bowl
 

Congrats to Orakpo, but how Vilma makes it over Fletcher is beyond me.

Re: Redskins in 2010 Pro Bowl
 

London Fletcher WAS MLB 134 89 45 2.0 -- 7 1 0 2 2 1 -- --
Jonathan Vilma NO MLB 110 87 23 2.0 -- 11 3 0 25 11 0 -- --

London had 24 more tackles, the same amount of sacks, 2 less int's, and 1 FF to Vilma's 0

Re: Redskins in 2010 Pro Bowl
 

ProBowl................you kidding me..........there isn't one person deserving to go to the ProBowl. This is the ProBowl not the "he played hard every game bowl" Damn near everyone of these guys should be sweating whether they have a job with the Skins or any team next year. Fortunately every loss wasn't on TV up my way. So most of my resentment was focused at the information provided by ESPN Radio and TV. Always kept uptodate on how bad they were and still are.

People usually vote for players based on Madden Ratings and what team they're on, not on individual merit. Thats why some teams send double digit numbers to the pro bowl. The fact that the Saints for dominant much of the year combined with Vilma's name recognition got him voted in over Fletcher. Funny thing is that Fletcher might be the first player elected to the hall of fame without a pro bowl. Either way the pro bowl is a popularity contest.

Re: Redskins in 2010 Pro Bowl
 

59? What does Fletch have to do?

Re: Redskins in 2010 Pro Bowl
 

just to point out...

look at the offensive linemen and the teams they play for...

2 Saints OL
2 Vikings OL
2 Cowboys OL
1 Eagles OL
1 Giants OL

All of these teams have winning records... one one (G-Strings) not in the playoffs...

What can we deduce from this??

Re: Redskins in 2010 Pro Bowl
 

Surprising that Orakpo makes it as a rookie.

Haynesworth picks up $43M and no Pro Bowl in his first year with his new team. In the offseason Hayenesworth was considered the best player in the NFL and he doesn't get a selection to this popularity contest.

Not that I think he deserved it, it's just frustrating to see the front office bring in this one big fish when our depth was our biggest liability.

Re: Redskins in 2010 Pro Bowl
 

Worst move ever was letting the fans vote for the roster. Fans do not know if a guard or a DT is any good. They vote by flashy stats like sacks (Orakpo).
I liked it better when the players and coaches voted.
The players actually appreciated it more when they were selected by their peers.
This thing is a shame.

If you think Fletcher didn't deserve to go, you're letting your emotions get the best of you.

Re: Redskins in 2010 Pro Bowl
 

I have vastly more respect for London Fletcher than I do for the entire Pro Bowl institution.. honestly couldn't care less about a glorified popularity contest

Edit: Love how the Bengals win a tough AFC North division against the Ravens and the defending Super Bowl champs but apparently did so without a single Pro Bowl quality player on their entire team

Next stop, Defensive Rookie of the Year.

I know right. He's easily the leader in missed tackles and blown coverage. Most defensive backs can only dream of putting up those numbers in a career let alone a single season. Landry deserves to go to Anchorage.

Hey he made that one tackle, didn't you see his 5 minute dance?

Re: Redskins in 2010 Pro Bowl
 

[quote=WaldSkins;647694]Hey he made that one tackle, didn't you see his 5 minute dance?[/quote]Well, we don't score defensive TDs, so the guys now have to choreograph for basic tackles. To keep from looking like fools, they've compensated by tackling less frequently.

Re: Redskins in 2010 Pro Bowl
 

I dont get why Fletch isnt making it.

People know he is legit, everytime we are on primetime, all announcers mentions he is a probowler who has been snubbed. People are aware, I guess he isnt the big name sexy pick.

Re: Redskins in 2010 Pro Bowl
 

Did Fletch get 1st Alternate at MLB at least? Because the chances of Vilma playing in it are kind of slim, since he could be playing late into the post season and has a better chance of getting hurt

Re: Redskins in 2010 Pro Bowl
 

Fletch, Haynesworth and Carter snubbed. Blah. Poor Fletch again.

Re: Redskins in 2010 Pro Bowl
 

Fletch is 2nd in the entire league in tackles and doesn't get in. Bullshit.

Re: Redskins in 2010 Pro Bowl
 

[quote=GMScud;647712]Fletch is 2nd in the entire league in tackles and doesn't get in. Bullshit.[/quote]

That's putting it nicely.

Re: Redskins in 2010 Pro Bowl
 

Tackles are tackles, but at some point, someone has to have the balls to put Fletcher on top of their list of pro bowl MLBs.

Last year, when Beason made it over Fletcher, that was a crock. This year, Vilma was at least as deserving as Fletcher was, and while it would have been nice to see Fletch get in, I don't see them starting to give him that overdue respect now.

I think Fletcher will still end up playing though. Unless that schmuck Keith Brooking gets in because he plays for Dallas.

Re: Redskins in 2010 Pro Bowl
 

^^If brooking makes it over him, you know then that its rigged.

Re: Redskins in 2010 Pro Bowl
 

Title should read "Redskin", not "Redskins".

The ProBowl is really a sham, and this year, the players in the SB won't even play in it...

London Fletcher clearly should have been in, I feel bad for him.

Re: Redskins in 2010 Pro Bowl
 

It's criminal that Fletch misses out again...

Re: Redskins in 2010 Pro Bowl
 

I feel really bad for Fletcher who is possibly the best MLB in the game but good to see Orakpo get in as a rook and hope he wins DROY

Re: Redskins in 2010 Pro Bowl
 

To me, the most interesting thing is that Orakpo, who as we all know is listed as a LB/DE made the pro-bowl as a outside linebacker, not a defensive end. I would say that as a linebacker, Orakpo is mediocre, at best. He's made the most plays when he's had his hand in the dirt, lining up as DE. To be honest, if he didnt make the pro-bowl as a DE then I really don't think he deserved to make it. Surely, there's got to be a more deserving linebacker out there.

Re: Redskins in 2010 Pro Bowl
 

For fletch to get in the team has to be winning, it has to become a team goal. Vilma got in because the Saints are one of the hottest teams in the NFC. Rak should win the DRoy. Is he the only rookie to make it to the probowl?

Re: Redskins in 2010 Pro Bowl
 

The Pro Bowl is a joke apparently. How could it be taken seriously? No Fletch...no credibility.

Re: Redskins in 2010 Pro Bowl
 

Fletcher's chances rest with Saints; Carter is 2nd alternate
There is a chance that London Fletcher could play in his first Pro Bowl after all. Fletcher was named a first alternate to the NFC's team, which might not have meant a whole lot in past years. But this year, the Pro Bowl is being played one week before the Super Bowl, so any players who have a role in deciding the league's championship will sit out the all-star game.

What does that mean for Fletcher? Well, if New Orleans reaches the Super Bowl, linebacker Jonathan Vilma would be unable to play in the Pro Bowl -- clearing a path for the first alternate.

Fletcher has never played in the Pro Bowl but was a third alternate each of the past two seasons. He was also alternate in 2002, 2005 and 2006.

Andre Carter has been chosen to the team as a second alternate. Minnesota's Jared Allen, Carolina's Julius Peppers and Philadelphia's Trent Cole were selected ahead of Carter to play defensive end for the NFC's team.

Re: Redskins in 2010 Pro Bowl
 

^^this is according to Jason Reid of the washington post.

at least fletch is a first alternate

I think Byrd and Cushin also made the Pro Bowl

And I'm pretty sure I saw that Andre Carter is an alternate as well as Fletch

[quote=SmootSmack;647816]I think Byrd and Cushin also made the Pro Bowl

[B]And I'm pretty sure I saw that Andre Carter is an alternate as well as Fletch[/B][/quote]Yeah, I just read that Fletcher is a first alternate, which would mean that if the Saints make it to the Super Bowl he'd probably be in since Vilma wouldn't play in the Pro Bowl.
And Carter is a second alternate, so he probably has an outside shot.

EDIT: What Cult said...

Cushing made it in and he is a rookie I'm pretty sure
