Name the NFL DE who hasn't. This is the NFL, guys. You can't be dominant all the time. You can scheme dominant players right out of the game if you want to. Double, triple, chip, run away from. And--as you mention--its easier to do all of those things if the player next to him doesn't concern you. Khalil Mack disappeared for half the season. Doesn't mean that he's not a great player deserving of a Pro Bowl who will tear your world a part the minute you take focus away from him. Sheesh.

Exactly! J. Bosa made it and he was invisible for all of the game Sunday. He's also behind Danielle in sacks, tackles and forced fumbles. Danielle is tied for 3rd in the league in sacks, while at the same time being well ahead of all three of the others in total tackles. He definitely deserved it.
Not that we want the Vikings players to be available, but if they are I'd guess than Cousins and Kendricks are near the top of the list for alternates. I'd also hope that Ham is too... and even Harris is showing up on some snub lists.
* Just now listening to the Power Trip podcast with Zimmer on this morning. He said he thought several others are deserving, specifically mentioning Cousins, Kendricks, Griffen, Ham and Harris.
I'm just saying the most consistent playmaker on the Defense from game to game is Kendricks. If the Pro Bowl was actually about consistent performance and not splash plays and reputation he would be the most deserving.
And no one has even mentioned Ham! Like I said: popularity contest. It's stupid when the talking heads debate how great a player is, based on the number of Pro Bowls they've made.
Am I the only one that really doesn't care about pro-bowl votes anymore? Just boring IMO.
Yup. The Joke Bowl. Where it's such an honor to be named but none of the super bowl bound teams show up to play. Pure popularity contest.

No more stupid than grown men (and women) spending hours talking about and debating a "game" they don't participate in. No doubt, it's popularity contest, but don't forget that many contract incentives use Pro Bowl selections as a metric.
Of the top 50 in sacks, Hunter has the second most combined tackles. Doesn't sound like he's disappearing all that much.

Didn't say he was having a bad year, just said he there is not playing at a pro bowl level. Watch the tape of the Seahawks game, he was consistently giving up on the play every time Wilson broke the pocket. He is a great player, with all world talent, but personally I have not seen an all world effort from him.

So make a case for the DE you think deserves it over Hunter.
