Mister Happy Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 For a defense that is slightly above average and a team that probably won't make the playoffs, Atlanta sure does have a lot of players there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullbackIsKey Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 So, I call on you loyal extremeskins.My brothers feel that Chris Cooley doesnt deserve a pro-bowl nod because he "isn't a fullback." Can you a) Define the H-back position and think of some evidence as to why he is more of a fullback than a tight end. :gaintsuck he is a fullback becasue when they line up for the play, he is standing right in front of portis, in the fullback position, if he went up at the start of every play and stood next to one of the tackles, then he would be a tight end. It doesn't matter where he goes when he's in motion, even if he goes in motion and stops next to the tackle, he still came there from the fullback spot. He just doesn't take handoffs up the gut, instead he goes in motion and catches touchdown passes, which is something that other fullbacks do, although not nearly as often as cooley does. He is called an H-back, or hybrid back, because he lines up like a fullback, but his in-play responsibilities are what you would normally attribute to a tight end, and the normal fullback duties are redistributed to other players.

Bangee7 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I have no problem of Manning going ahead of Brunell. At this point, they're top dog and he is a big reason why. I would like to see MW, SS, ST, Moss, and Portis make it. Randy Thomas was probably our most consistent O-lineman, so he couldn't go anyway at this point.

Art Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 What really makes Cooley great is the fact that he's the best tight end in the league right now with the ball in his hands. No one is close to him in yards after the catch at his position. Hell, he's EIGHTH in the LEAGUE in that category with 394 yards after the catch. Gates has two more yards but 18 more catches. Cooley is amazing in that he rarely goes down on first contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojo Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I agree, his YAC is amazing. I think his wrestling background helps in that area.

SkinsFTW Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Marcus Washington better make it again. He has been the defensive leader and has not missed any time. He is a beast on every down. 18th in tackles and 16th in sacks, 2 FF and 1 int. Great numbers overall for a LB. Urlacher has more tackles but has no ints and only 1 FF and fewer sacks and he is supposed to be the best this year on that defense with a great DL as well. Portis should be the 3rd RB also since nobody else is close to his yards and scores for the #3. Nothing else to say. Moss doesn't have the stats for receiver other than yards but they must consider that the Arizona receivers numbers came due to their team always being down and no running game. Moss has actually had an unbelievable season considering everything like no real #2 receiver and a mostly rushing offense. He is #5 in receptions, #2 in yards and #9 in TD's even though that one in the Dallas game would have put him tied for 6 if they had counted it. He has great numbers for a player in his first season here in an offense that several other receivers wanted out of. He also benefits from Brunell not looking at other alternatives. Brunell actually has the 2nd best passer stats since Bulger hasn't played in weeks and was #2 previously. Brunell has actually put up career numbers this year since fumbles dont count, but they dont count for the other QB's either like Bledsoe who has fumbled 2x as much. No other QB is even close, Brunell should be in the Pro Bowl and also comeback player of the year surprisingly. If Griffen hadn't missed a few games he should go too. He is probably the most important player on the defense right now. When Griffen is in the defense is 100% better against the run, that means alot but doesn't get noticed by the 'tards at ESPN since they pick games based on last weeks games and the solar pattern of several large bright things in the sky during the week. Parcells has obstructed their view twice this year before facing the Redskins by breaking blue glow sticks and pouring the contents all over himself while attaching himself to a long string. Unanimously they picked the Cowboys over the Redskins both times for a total of 16 miscalculations in those games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
