Twitter: Six Cowboys are in the top 10 in pro bowl voting

Being 6th at FB and 10th at LS is essentially like being last. I’d imagine Lamb, Aubrey and Turpin make it.

Out of everyone on there I’d say Aubrey and Turpin deserve it but Aubrey has a few misses….he probably won’t either.

Martin being on the list shows how hollow of an accomplishment this is.

 

[JW82]

Lol.

IMO What it shows is that "name" gets voted without an ounce of factual knowledge.
I'm so glad this got posted. When I made the same argument as to why Zack's accolades these past few years weren't warranted based on performance I was told how robust the process & how knowledgeable the voters.

Before anyone goes down this road, I understand that Pro Bowl & All Pro are different but my point still stands.

Far too often players earn it & don't get it because people are voting for the "perception" of the guy who is already established.

Totally! Maybe Overshown and Parsons have a shot too depending on how the year ends up. But frankly other than special teams not many deserve it.

So essentially, our special teams is pretty good.

Name me 5 better FB’s than Hunter!!!! Or gold jacket Hunter as he’s known as around these parts

We are special teams gurus.

I do believe that is mostly Fassel. He might rightly get ripped at times for some of the risks he takes (when they fail), but he seems to have a pretty good eye for special-teams talent ... and how to shop for it under the Joneses — cheap players.

Of course, maybe McClay plays a major role there as well, but Aubrey especially seems to be a Fassel find.

No Zeke? What a rip off.

 

[75boyz]

Aubrey and Turpin have earned theirs by on the field performance.
Not so much with all the others.

 

[Thrill99]

Who is ahead of Aubrey?

Yeah Micah is ending his season strong shockingly. I think Overshown is a year away but he’s played very well for his rookie year.

I’d wonder if it was Justin Tucker or the Chiefs kicker if it’s on popularity. Tucker certainly has struggled.

Someone is going to the USFL and finding talent.

This only matters if we don't go to the super bowl.

I LOVE Zach Martin, but I saw him "Ole" defenders. He may have been playing injured, but it's substantial to see the Offensive line playing better without Martin.

 

[loublue22]

Someone could have offered me a 100 mil to name our long snapper and I'd be at work the next day.

The probowl voting is like national voting…many just vote straight ticket or in this case straight team…makes sense we would have a lot on there even as bad as we are
