I'm hoping that those guys are able to go as alternates because they all deserve it in my eyes. I also think that Mikell deserved to get a nod. Strong on tackles, good coverage, few picks, 5 forced fumbles which gives him 3rd in the entire NFL (there's a tie for first with 6).... The biggest thing about those FF though is that everyone else near him on the list are OLB and DE.... Mikell does it as a safety.

He had a quiet year in terms of nobody really noticing him, but he put up probowl numbers if you ask me. Just like Long, JL, and SJ. If it was my choice they would have gone.

Thanks for the read and comments. I agree, all played at a pro bowl level, although SJ39 did it over an 11 game period.

In a liberal sense, loosely, they were snubs.

However, in a stricter sense, none were true snubs in that they were clearly more deserving (to me) than others who made it. They all could have and perhaps at least a couple should have, but none were "obvious" choices.

Yeah, that's how I felt. I hope that at least one of them will be able to go rep the Rams for whatever reason, at least they're all alternates.

I hope so, too.... I think it would mean a ton for any of the three, but particularly the would-be first timers: Long and JL.

I hope no Rams go since no one watches it and it would be our bad luck for a good player.......to get injured. No thanks.

The Pro Bowl is a joke. All-Pro awards are what truly separate the elite from the rest.
