Pro Bowl Questions

Say Indy-Vikes in Super Bowl. That's 15 players that have to be replaced on the roster for the Pro Bowl game this year? (am I wrong?)

On top of all the marquee names withdrawing due to "injury", are all the alternates that get to go as 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th choices all eligible for contract bonuses for being "Pro Bowl" players?

I was not a big fan of the Pro Bowl in the past but at least it served a purpose in rewarding players who had a good season. I did not think it was possible to make this game more irrelevant, are NFL execs being recruited from NBC?????

I like the fact that it's before the Super Bowl. More people will watch it now. Once the Super Bowl is over, most people don't give a crap about the Pro Bowl. Now, they might tune in. As for the players from the Vikes and Indy not playing...great! The Vikes had too many in the game to begin with. Now just as deserevd players will suit up. Now DeAngelo will see more time if Peterson is off preparing for the big game. As for the ones "pulling out", that's not going to happen every year if they stay with this new format, but I also tend to not believe Brady and Fitz. They're banged up and sore, sure, but I'd bet they just don't want to bother with this game.

I don't like the present format. The probowl used to be a reward for a great season by going to Hawaii on a paid trip and taking family and firends. The game was a not a big deal nor did anyone really care about watching it. It was more about getting picked.

Who cares about going to Miami for a meaningless game played by alternates and guys 4th and 5th on the list. it is alot like the Senior Bowl- many of the top players aren't there either and it is no big deal.

      Renfrow is like a litmus test for Bryce and Dave's misses. And Ejiro's D is no D at all

      And, yes, I've been a slow boil, but watching continually watching shitty displays of football for weeks has me frustrated.

      Bryce just didn't maximize Hunter Renfrow's skills. ***rant incoming*** But this isn't just about Bryce Young mistiming passes to Renfrow so bad that he's going to get Renfrow killed or hurt, this is also about incompetentence by Dave Canales. Renfrow can still play. He's putting DBs in a blender out there---making them play twister at the top of routes to keep up with him, and dumb Dave has the nerve to cut him. How about putting Hunter in the best position to help the damned offense by appreciating his skill set, DC? You're letting Bryce's apparent inability to make an accurate throw, or at least his timidity to push the ball down the damned field cloud your judgment and miscalculate talent---or maybe just miss on talent just as much as Bryce misses passes due to playing pussified football. It's fúcking unacceptable.  Speaking of misjudgment, I don't know if it's Dan Morgan or Canales, but Eijiro Evero is not the business at DC. I have said a few times that his scheme is not conducive to run-stopping efficiency. Hell, and after watching some clips of plays, now I absolutely know why. The gaps are at least half open before the play even fúcking starts. You are setting the opposition's RBs up for success with too much damned space at the line and in the second level. If our guys are taken out in these areas---at the line and in the second level---then the defense is screwed because it must rely on the safeties to cover too much ground to make the tackle. At least put Ransom in who is motivated to seek and destroy if you're going to effectively leave the safeties on an island.  And speaking of rookies, get our two new defensive ends more snaps to see if we can't generate more of a pass rush. For all the good the continued sorry display of defense that you're putting out for fan's to see (Ejiro, Dave and Dan), you may as well get the rookies generously involved. Fúck that money we gave second-rate (maybe second-rate) vets, we need a damned spark getting after the QB. Watch it, it's just another breakdown of the sh¡t we were subjected to last week. I say this with all respect: Fúck you, Dave! Fúck you, Dan! Learn how to run a fúcking franchise. Maximize the players, regardless of what you think you're supposed to do by the book. Cut the dead weight before another season is lost and fans lose interest in September. EE is "Ew!" Or for emphasis "EEw!" /end rant

      But nobody is saying he is a good deep ball passer.  But the facts are since he's returned from his benching, he has been throwing downfield.  Whether you want to credit the scheme, Bryce himself, or whatever, he has been pushing it deep.  Not to any positive results mind you, but it has been happening.
