4 Steelers named to Pro Bowl

BB2W · 12-21-2005, 03:11 PM

Guard Alan Faneca, center Jeff Hartings, linebacker Joey Porter and safety Troy Polamalu were named to the team today. All four were Pro Bowlers last year.

Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Hines Ward was passed over for the AFC Pro Bowl team, just like he figured might happen. Ward expected that his statistics (61 catches for 830 yards 10 TD's) might not garner him a Pro Bowl bid this season.

Four Steelers named to Pro Bowl

Wednesday, December 21, 2005

By Ed Bouchette, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Four Steelers were named to the Pro Bowl today, all repeats from last season. Guard Alan Faneca, center Jeff Hartings, linebacker Joey Porter and safety Troy Polamalu will play for the AFC in the all-star game in Honolulu Feb. 12.

It's the fourth straight trip for Faneca, the Steelers' starting left guard since his rookie season in 1998. Hartings made it for the second time, Porter the third and Polamalu his second time in just his second season as a starter.

The Pro Bowl starters will be announced later.

The Steelers placed nine players in the Pro Bowl last season, when they were 15-1.

Just shows you how bad it is when you have fans do the voting.
Hartings doen't deserve to go. Porter niether. Only Steelers that really deserve it are: Hines, Faneca, and Troy P. In my opinion.

Hines Should Be There. He NEEDS TO BE IN HONOLULU!

Sorry about the double post. I didn't see the other thread.

Hartings is a beast, Im glad he's going..he's had a very good year but sometimes gets lost in the troubles that simmons and starks have at times on that side of the line.

faneca and troy p are definate good candidates.

Hines still should have made it, the man is invaluable to this team and means everything to us.

Porter has been having a decent year despite his stats not being as high as they once were, but according to lebeau Porter has been doing all he's been asked and then some so who knows.

I'd have liked to see Casey get in, that is a true travesty IMO. And Im also surprised Ike didnt get atleast an alternate consideration.

Would have loved to seen Hines go. Congrats to the Steelers who made it!
