trimee Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Okay I got to say, I have a problem with anyone picking Alexander over Tomlinson?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikaros Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 good to see Moss get some love for his big plays. Marcus deserves it. wow i didnt expect Mike Sellers for STs and the comment about our kick coverage being the best...interesting. the only pick i dont like is FS Bob Sanders. i think it should be Dawkins or Taylor IMO. other than that i agree with everything, good read.

illone Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Alexander is dominant, though. Seattle's got a great oline;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SittingBull Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Wow someone in the media, from Dallas no less, said we have the NFL's best kick coverage unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikaros Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Alexander is dominant, though. Seattle's got a great oline;). yup, after seeing how good the seahawks are doing lately, it makes you kind of proud knowing we beat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Okay I got to say, I have a problem with anyone picking Alexander over Tomlinson?!? You could make a valid case that LT's better, but Alexander IS having a better year. This was the most spot on All Pro analysis I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonnyJ Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Excellent list. LT had that game against Philly - 7 yds on 17 carries. That sticks out like a sore thumb, sort of like the Skins game against the Giants. It may very well have been an aberration, but it still is a chunk of this season's resume. As the Skins have been knocked down in power rankings for that performance, so LT gets besmirched with that one. Think he also didn't start off the season terribly strongly, too. So, based on this season, Alexander is a clear choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Sellers has always been excellent at coverage. I'm shocked anyone outside of DC has noticed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Diggler Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 3 Skins and no Cowboys on a Dallas writer's list. Interesting stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouvan59 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Sellers has always been excellent at coverage. I'm shocked anyone outside of DC has noticed though. Just like baseball's gold gloves going to the best hitters who can field, Sellers is being rewarded for his special teams' play because he is doing well on offense.

Beaudry Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I still think that Thrash is a better ST player than Sellers. Wow, nobody can say the media is bias against us with this All-Pro team! This isn't even the conference ProBowl team, so it really is amazing that we can have 3 players representing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabidFan Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Sellers has always been excellent at coverage. I'm shocked anyone outside of DC has noticed though. They only heard his name first for his TDs then wondered where he's been hiding then see he's been a ST monster for yrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3CardMonte Posted November 11, 2005 Author Share Posted November 11, 2005 Gosselin is known for his Draft list and his end of season special teams grades here is how he has done forecasting the draft. top 100 boards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
we_want_56 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Why is it that they always have to say something like Marcus is the best LB on his team not LaVar. It may or may not be true. But the point is that they're teamates. They are also good friends they doin't compete against each other they compete against the other team. They should be talked about together as the best OLB duo in the NFL. This is the kind of stuff that causes a rift between the team, and I 'm tired of seeing it.

we_want_56 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I'm not saying it will. I'm almost positive it won't. BUt this is the kind of stuff that can usually start it. It happens all the time. The question of which player is the best/leader of the team. Luckily we've got too character guys. (Oh my Gosh I'm starting to sound like Joe Gibbs Now.) They won't let this come between them. But I don't like how the media would try to say something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brown_Hornet Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Peppers over Strahan is a joke. There are several players better than Santana Moss as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
we_want_56 Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Name one WR better than Moss this year other than Steve Smith. No matter who you bring up I'll have the stats to prve they can't match him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F Landry Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 The part about Marcus Washington being better than LaVar... I mean... I can't really disagree at this point, until LaVar gets comfortable playing again (hes still adjusting, I think). I really think we have one of the best outside linebacker tandems in the NFL... Can you guys think of another really good outside linebacker tandem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F Landry Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Still no love for Springs. Man is he underrated. Yeah, he is probably (I think) the most underrated CB in the NFL... I mean, the man leads one of the best (if not the best) pass defense in the NFL. Give him some love! Haha. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
