OFFENSE
QB - STARTER Drew Brees. Romo despite making only 8 starts is a reserve... Wow. 5 or 6 good games gets you in the pro bowl. Kinda ridiculous, but it's really an indictment of the QB position in the NFC... If that's the criteria, why not Grossman, Manning, or Vick? Bulger also makes it, he has pro bowl numbers.
RB - Frank Gore starts, Barber, and Jackson. All having good years, still seems like a Westbrook snub. Westbrook has carried his team to a better record than any of these guys. It's possible that none of the pro bowl RBs will be in the playoffs...
TE - Crumpler & Shockey
Center - Matt Birk & Olin Kreutz
Guards - Shaun Andrews & Steve Hutchinson
The "Big Kid" gets a well deserved start in the pro bowl. He's been amazing this year and I expect he'll have a place in Hawaii for many years to come.
Tackles - Jamaal Brown (Saints), Walter Jones, Chris Samuels
Wide receivers - Anquan Boldin, Donald Driver, Torry Holt, Steve Smith
Fullback - Mack Strong
DEFENSE Defensive ends - Aaron Kampman Green Bay Packers, Julius Peppers Carolina Panthers, Will Smith New Orleans Saints
Interior linemen - Tommie Harris Chicago Bears, Kris Jenkins Carolina Panthers, Kevin Williams Minnesota Vikings
Outside linebackers - Lance Briggs Chicago Bears, Julian Peterson, Seattle Seahawks, DeMarcus Ware Dallas Cowboys
Inside linebackers - Lofa Tatupu Seattle Seahawks, Brian Urlacher Chicago Bears
Ha Ha! Antonio Pierce doesn't go again... Waaah!
Cornerbacks - Ronde Barber Tampa Bay Buccaneers, DeAngelo Hall Atlanta Falcons, Lito Sheppard Philadelphia Eagles
Lito is a no brainer here. The former pro bowler has had a stellar season bouncing back from last year's injury.
Strong safeties - Roy Williams Dallas Cowboys, Adrian Wilson Arizona Cardinals
Free safeties - Brian Dawkins Philadelphia Eagles
Duh. No brainer here.
Specialists
Punter Mat McBriar, Dallas Cowboys Placekicker Robbie Gould, Chicago Bears Kick return specialist Devin Hester, Chicago Bears Special teamer Brendon Ayanbadejo, Chicago Bears
So it's 3 Eagles headed to Hawaii Shaun Andrews(1st pro bowl), Lito Sheppard(2nd pro bowl), & Brian Dawkins(6th pro bowl).
Brian Westbrook, L.J. Smith and Jeremiah Trotter were named as alternates.

Sheppard and Dawkins
I'm really, really happy for Lito this year. He looked awful last season -- the guy everyone was beating for big plays. Now, he's the one making the big plays. Until the last two games, I'd have said he was the Eagles defensive player of the year, easily. But #20's made a very strong case for himself.
Romo certainly deserves it
You'll find out first hand xmas day why he was voted to the team.

He may deserve a Pro Bowl bid
It's tough

Over the past 6 or 7 games maybe...
He's on a pace to throw twenty INTs in a full season. Twenty! He's thrown for more than one INT per start and under 200 yards a game... I don't even see where he has the numbers over the games he did start to make the pro bowl.
At least he has that QB rating over a half season to fall back on...
actually

that explains it
BTW, he might be on pace to throw 20 INT's over 16 games, but he also is on pace to throw 32 TD passes. They both sound like Brett Farve numbers to me and I remember that guy making a few pro bowls in his day.

When he was making pro bowls
thats not true
I'll take 10 picks for Romo's first 8 games starting as I'm extremely confident that number will go down once he really learns how to play. Romo is just learing the qb position, which should be scary for you and the rest of the league.

Just learning?
Westbrook
