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

Surprised Ricard(FB) isn't leading for the AFC. Dude is a OL dressed as a FB.

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.

I really wish he would just tell Aubrey to boot it through the end zone. Don't overthink it and get cute with the landing zone. The risk far outweighs the reward.

I hope the only guys that make it are Aubrey and Turpin

Give you a break about what? The pro-bowl is supposed to be the best players at a position per year. He's a sure fire hall of famer. Should be in his first year of eligibility. But his play this year is undeserving of pro-bowl honors.

His 80% is a lot better than 95 % of the players who play his position in the NFL. Has he had a down year yes, but this year he got voted in because his has the heart and soul of a true Pro Bowler who plays hurt, when most guys wouldn't even dress for the game and in the eyes of his peers he has earned the right to be voted in even though in your eyes he's not worthy of it.

 

[Proof]

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

maybe bates from the lions. he's having an aubrey-esque season w/ the leagues new darling

probowl is not voted by peers. and he's not voted in, he's 6th in votes for guards. he doesn't deserve to be in the probowl whatsoever this year.

Who is ahead of Aubrey?

Chris Boswell (PIT) is the best kicker in the League right now.

 

[Bigrandrn]

How is Martin anywhere near there? He hasn’t played well….at least not nearly as good as in past….maybe the tape isnt that bad vs other guards? Overshown not being on there is a travesty.

 

[Bigrandrn]

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 haven’t seen the other LB too much but Overshown has had quite the year….i could see him in the PB, he earned it. Maybe not starter, but I don’t know how well the other LB in the NFC have played

Fan voting to date:

Fullback: Hunter Luepke, #6
Kicker: Brandon Aubrey, #2 (Boswell is #1 if you're wondering)
Long Snapper: Trent Sieg, #10
Return Specialist: KaVontae Turpin, #1 (Yay!!!)
Wide Receiver: Cee Dee Lamb, #5

Biggest surprise: Jalen Carter not even listed in the top ten. Sorry Eagle fans. And yes, he should be top one or two IMO. Dude is a menace.

Surprised Cee Dee is 5. He’s leading the league in catches at WR (Bowers actually leads the whole league as a freakin TE).

In his prime maybe but even then the gap to the second best guy probably wasn't that large.

But this isn't about the past or his heart or any other attribute. It should be very simply the players who are performing the best this year.

I don't think he's 80% of what we've been accustomed to. Probably closer to like 56% maybe. Playing hurt doesn't get you pro-bowl honors. Playing well does. And the fact the line has improved since he's been out would lead some to believe that it may be best he had sat and healed up.

I don't doubt it one bit, but there aren't too many linemen that would continue to play hurt like Martin has. This is one reason why his peers are all in with him making the 2024 Pro Bowl. Also, everyone knows that if a player of Martin's stature is being elected every year to the Pro Bowl that name recognition means something too. At this point in Martin's career and this being his last year under contract with the Cowboys I'm betting that Martin calls it a career, takes a couple of years off and comes back to coach with possibly the Cowboys.

Only sensible people think your way.....LOL!

I agree, he doesn't but the Pro Bowl anymore is voted on by name recognition ............

 

[Pola_pe_a]

Pro Bowl- popularity contest based on name recognition
All Pro- an actual achievement

 

[kskboys]

There's only 6 FB's in the league!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kskboys]

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

There's only 3 FB's in the NFL aside from Luepke. 4th place was a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, 5th place was Rob Dyredek.

Isn't the Pro Bowl pretty much a running joke anymore anyways?
