LeSean McCoy, Jason Peters Named To AP All Pro Team

by JasonB on Jan 6, 2012 2:11 PM EST in Philadelphia Eagles News

The All Pro team is basically the Pro Bowl if conferences were ignored and fans had no say. So, in other words, it's a much high distinction than making the Pro Bowl. The Associated Press named their 2011 All Pro team today and two Eagles made it, Jason Peters and LeSean McCoy. It is the first All Pro honor for each.

McCoy will share the backfield with Maurice Jones-Drew, who led the league in rushing. McCoy, however, led the league in TDs.

"There are so many things I can do better," McCoy said. "I look at the numbers and see so many plays I left on the field, so many yards. I can perfect my game a lot more."

Jason Peters, who is coming off his best season as a pro, is joined on the offensive line by fellow tackle Joe Thomas, Steelers' Maurkice Pouncey at center, and the pair of guards from the Saints Jahri Evans and Carl Nicks. Evan Mathis had a better year than either of those guys... but that's the only other Eagles that I would argue belongs on the All Pro team.

Babin made second-team, too.

Good for all of them.

Well deserved. However, Mathis or Yanda should have made it over Evans. There are also about ten other centers that were much better than Pouncey.

Maurkice Pouncey might be the most overrated player in the NFL.

Both 2nd team All-Pro corners, Johnathan Joseph and Carlos Rogers, were free agent signings.

I really hope Nnamdi performs better next year.

I wonder who said it would’ve been better to sign Joseph than Nnamdi for a zone scheme. Dude is a genius.

Well… Whoever signed Nnamdi, traded for DRC and drafted Curtis Marsh and then ran a zone scheme is retarded.
