God the pro bowl is such a joke. The game is Sunday and the players dont even know who they are playing with yet. The "draft" is tomorrow
Good grief

 

[RamsJunkie]

It is a joke, I remember one year they made it like an all weekend thing and had the players doing random competitions like jet ski racing and all sorts of stuff. I enjoyed watching that more than the probowl. I dont know why they only did this one year.

Hey, I doubted the new setup too... but it was better than the year before where players were treating it like scrimmage. If nothing else now, we have the lul factor of defense giving a good smack to offense of the same team. (Happened to both Browns and Chiefs last year).

They still need to move it back to after the Super Bowl though... the whole concept of an All Star game where the players from the presumably best two teams don't participate is laughable.

But as to the OP of the thread, I asked this very question in another thread after the game, and no one had an answer.

Also, on a personal note, one thing I despise EA for is not caring enough in Madden to do the Pro Bowl right (at least as of the PS3/360 generation) and give the players individual helmets rather than a generic one. That's the coolest part about the game is seeing the teams all wearing their own helmets.

Antonio Cromartie (replaces Richard Sherman)

Boo-urns.

EJ Gaines was better then Cromartie. Hell, he was better then Peterson this year. I don't understand how he doesn't get more recognition.

I like the kid, but he'd likely have to starting for us full time before he gets PB attention.

Thats tough for a 6th round rookie on a 6-10 team. but yes he got shafted he was the best corner on our team.

 

[TheDYVKX]

Don't think Janoris was very high on the list of alternates.

Don't think Janoris was very high on the list of alternates.

Probably a good thing because I bet hes been very high since the season ended.

Andy Dalton in the pro bowl? I dont think he could rank even second best in his division....

All it takes is for one player to suffer a serious injury in this "game" and the crap will hit the fan for sure

2015 Pro Bowl to feature narrowed goal posts

This year's Pro Bowl will feature a pair of new rule tweaks.

Confirming a report from last month, the NFL announced Tuesday that the width of the goal posts will narrow from 18 feet to 14 feet for Sunday's all-star game, which kicks off at 8 p.m. ET at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

Goal posts in the NFL have sat at a width of 18 feet 6 inches since the 1920s, but the league continues to toy with making kicks more challenging. This preseason saw the NFL move the extra point back to 33 yards, which led to eight misses in 33 games -- as opposed to just five whiffs from 19 yards during the 2013 regular season.


Sunday's Pro Bowl also will help both coaching staffs -- led by John Harbaugh of the Ravens and Jason Garrett of the Cowboys -- with increased timeouts. Teams will be granted two timeouts per quarter instead of the customary three timeouts per half. If teams use just one timeout in the first or third periods, they can carry over one to the second and fourth quarters, respectively.

Along with these rule changes, the game will feature the following aspects introduced in last year's Pro Bowl:

Offensive and defensive MVPs: The media will choose two game MVPs, one offensive player and one defensive player. Each MVP will be presented with a new GMC vehicle and an MVP medallion.

Game within the game: A two-minute warning will be added to the first and third quarters, with the ball changing hands after each quarter.

No kickoffs: A coin toss will determine which team is first awarded possession. The ball will be placed on the 25-yard line at the start of each quarter and after scoring plays.

Rosters: The rosters will now consist of 44 players per side, including an additional defensive back for roster flexibility.

Cover 2 and press coverage: Defenses will be permitted to play Cover 2 and press coverage. In previous years, only man coverage was permitted, save for goal-line situations.

Stopping of the game clock: Beginning at the two-minute mark of each quarter, if the offense fails to gain at least 1 yard, the clock will stop as if the play were an incomplete pass.

Game timing: The game clock will start after an incomplete pass on the signal of the referee, except inside the last two minutes of the first half and the last five minutes of the second half

Play clock: A 35-second/25-second play clock will be adopted instead of the typical 40-second/25-second clock.

Sacks: The game clock will not stop on quarterback sacks outside of the final two minutes of the game. The game clock currently stops in these situations outside of two minutes of the second and fourth quarters.

I think the Pro Bowl might be more entertaining than this years Super Bowl :/

 

[TheDYVKX]

Donald and Atkins are on the same team? That's a tiny interior. It's not serious or anything, but damn.

 

[Boffo97]

Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald, Jets defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson

Jock Holding Duties to be determined later.

 

[TheDYVKX]

Quinn and Donald both on Team Irvin in case ya'll wondering. I'm gonna be watching this.

Yeah, was hoping they'd be paired on the same team. Go Team Irvin!
