RB: Chris Johnson, Marshawn Lynch, Ronnie Brown
WR: T.J. Houshmanzadeh, Andre Johnson, Randy Moss, Reggie Wayne

Thoughts?

Champ Bailey won't be in the pro bowl he is out for 4-6 weeks with an injury, but good list.

[HereWeGoSteelers219]

Jeff Reed should be the AFC kicker and Hines Ward one of the WR's.

[fansince'76]

Randy Moss - on name only, I presume, because outside of the Denver game, he ain't done jack this year. That's the biggest problem with the Pro Bowl - it's a popularity contest decided by the fans.

[bigben7MVP]

Ya good list an I think Hines should be on there also hes having a good year so far.

[SunshineMan21]

Randy Moss kinda depends on whether Matt Cassel steps up a bit. There's no question (at least in my mind) that talent-wise Moss is there, but if Cassel can't throw non-checkdown passes on teams with actual defenses then I say Brandon Marshall is next in line.

And yea, Jeff could be the AFC kicker. I honestly didn't think about kickers too much, I just chose Prater because he's played well this year.

[lilyoder6]

i would put moss on that roster b4 i would t.j. both of them are not having good/great seasons.... and i don't think jake long should go this yr

[missedgehead]

All I got to say is that a one Brett Farve better NOT be put in the Pro Bowl. Like Fansince76 said, it is a popularity contest, I do think players and coaches vote too, no?

[Rhee Rhee]

i think it's funny how madison hedgec0ck's name is filtered...

but on a serious note maybe sean morey gets the nod for the NFC ST player... i'd say his blocked punt is what basically started a downward spiral of the cowboys and rise of the cards..

i wouldn't mind him also because he is an ex-steeler

[The_WARDen]

you forgot Brett Favre...he is in a NY market now.

Also, don't forget about the great Carson Palmer...
