Drunken Master III Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 http://myespn.go.com/blogs/nfcwest/0-5-205/Fitzgerald-seventh-in-Pro-Bowl-voting.html Portis, Cooley, Moss, and Campbell are in the top 10 in votes. *Honestly I personally don't care about the pro bowl. To me its a popularity contest. Any time Roy Williams makes the pro bowl with a season like last season something is wrong. Fletcher definetly deserves it though.

RocketCitySkins Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Wow. If you've read this board the last few days, you would think JC would be in the bottom 10. I'm not surprised at Portis or Cooley but I thought the other one would be Rogers or Fletcer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin101 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Adrian Wilson, SS, Cardinals: second among strong safeties with 53,622 votes. The Redskins' Chris Horton leads the way with 164,271. Darren Sharper is third, trailing Wilson by about 2,000 votes. Atari Bigby and James Butler both have more than 45,000. Nice job Horton! Also noted, Fletcher, Rogers, Springs, Samuels, Griffin, Golston all lead their positions!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Kaos Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Julian Peterson, LB, Seahawks: not among the top five at outside linebacker. Demarcus Ware is first, followed by Jason Taylor, Marcus Washington, Rocky McIntosh and A.J. Hawk. Three Redskins in the top five. Go figure. HELL YEAH!!! THAT"S WHAT I"M TALKING ABOUT!!!!!

Xero21 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 That is awesome. There is a Redskins player in every Top 5! Good job fans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Sassy Molassy Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 hahaha, we're stuffing the ballot. I mean I love it, but c'mon, Jason Taylor and Marcus don't deserve to be there. Heyer? I don't know about that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdmiralWaugh Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 http://theredskinsblog.com/ You might remember being asked once or twice to Vote the Redskins Ticket for the Pro Bowl. Perhaps you saw the lawn signs, or the bumper stickers, or the pins, and you said to yourself, “Self, that will never have any effect on the Pro Bowl voting.” Mike Sando, ESPN.com’s NFC West blogger, has the current vote standings, and he would have another message for your Self. Assuming Sando’s numbers are accurate — and if they’re not, someone has gone to a tremendous amount of effort to create a realistic-looking, detailed Excel file — the Redskins currently have four of the top ten overall vote-getters, in Clinton Portis, Santana Moss, Chris Cooley, and Jason Campbell. Sando’s numbers also have the Redskins as the leading vote-getters at running back, fullback (Mike Seller is leading by an astronomical 130,000 votes), tight end, wide receiver, center, guard, tackle, defensive tackle, inside linebacker, strong safety (Chris Horton leading by 111,000 votes), free safety, cornerback, kicker, punter, return specialist, and special teamer. Oh, and they aren’t leading the position, but have three of the top five at outside linebacker thanks to Jason Taylor’s wearing of number 55. Fan voting counts 1/3rd toward a player’s chances of making the Pro Bowl roster, so this shouldn’t be taken as an indication that the NFC Pro Bowl roster will be 85% Redskins, but it certainly reflects a motivated and dedicated fanbase. So nice work voting, everyone, and keep it up. The official Redskins Ticket campaign may have ended with the presidential election, but fan voting is open until December 9.

dfitzo53 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 hahaha, we're stuffing the ballot. I mean I love it, but c'mon, Jason Taylor and Marcus don't deserve to be there. Heyer? I don't know about that either. None of the three belong there, sadly. If the Pro Bowl had any integrity in the first place, I'd be more embarassed that the Redskins are doing this. Any time you open something up to multiple votes per person on the internet though, you throw validity out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins4tw Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 if you read the comments at the bottom... fans of other teams are complaining that the Skins have to many players leading.... lol Seeing those comments makes me proud to be a Redskins fan.

ZRagone Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Wow. I thought the "Redskins Ticket" was a brilliant marketing move but I NEVER thought it'd do this. We have a Redskin in EVERY top 5, and leading in almost every one. Hell PLACKEMIER is in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praise_gibbs Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 donnie jones, p, rams: Not among the top five punters. Ryan plackemeier, jeff feagles, derrick frost, brad maynard and saverio rocca comprise the top five. is plackemeier enjoying a great season? No, but he plays for the redskins.Allen Rossum, return specialist, 49ers: not among the top five. Rock Cartwright, Devin Hester, Reggie Bush, Felix Jones and DeSean Jackson comprise the top five. Yes, Cartwright plays for the Redskins. Sean Morey, special teams, Cardinals: not among the top five general special-teams players. Khary Campbell, Chase Blackburn, Jarrett Bush, Keith Davis and Corey Graham lead the voting. Yes, Campbell plays for the Redskins. hahaha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EthanThorn Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Skins players who are in the top five votes in their position: Jason Campebell Clinton Portis* Santana Moss* Chris Samuels* Stephon Heyer Cornelius Griffin* Kedrick Gholston (2nd) Jason Taylor (3rd) Rocky McIntosh (5th) London Fletcher* Marcus Washington(4th) Sean Springs* Carlos Rogers (2nd) Chris Horton* LaRon Landry* Shawn Suisham* Ryan Plackemeier* * indicates lead vote getter I'm a Giants fan, but even if i was a Redskins fan this would be evidence enough that the Pro Bowl is a joke. Don't get me wrong, guys like Portis, Moss, and Fletcher certainly deserve it, and you could make an argument for some of your defensive backs, but 10 pro bowlers (with a possible max of 17!) on a 6-4 team? Have to give credit to your fan base's enthusiasm though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdmiralWaugh Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I've tried to keep the integrity in the process, so I've only voted once. that is admirable, but the entire public voting for Pro Bowl is designed for multiple voting. Their web site encourages it and when you are finished voting, the NFL site asks you "vote again"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HapHaszard Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I'm not sure how many times I have voted,its been a lot so I'm glad we fans are having an effect. Hoping to see a lot of Skins helmets this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZRagone Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Thankfully fan voting doesn't do everything. I really wouldn't want all of those guys to get it. I mean, I'd be happy for them if they did...but really... Cooley, Fletcher, Portis, and Moss are all worthy. Campbell, Horton, Carlos, Sellars, a nd LaRon can all make cases. Springs had one good game though. Golston and Griffen really aren't worthy. Rocky is having a solid year but not like last year and not probowl worthy. Taylor and washington, way to injured to have had any worthy impact. Suisham and Plackemier, no way. I hope the stuffing of the box doesn't hurt the Red Snappers chances of being put on the team. Also hope that the obvious fan voting doesn't bias the other 2/3rds to go extremely anti-redskin cause some of the guys do deserve a fair shot. Hopefully this will be a good ignition point that they fix the pro-bowl voting some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
