NFL network is revealing the Pro Bowl teams. It appears the Pats will have 8 pro bowlers, including Matt Slater, with 7 starters (Brady, Welker, Gronk, 2 OL, Carter, Vince)

2012 Pro Bowl rosters

Hernandez is stiff to be overtaken by Antonio Gates. Pleased Slater made it. He's proven to be invaluable on Special Teams.

** Ray Lewis making the Pro Bowl is pathetic.

Arrington snubbed IMO for bigger names (Revis obviously deserves it). He's been our best CB all year and played well, 7 INTs, bad QBR/comp % against, sure tackler, oh well.



Victor Cruz as well, but he had very stiff competition in the NFC.

8 according to Mike Reiss, all are starters:

QB - T. Brady
WR - W. Welker
TE - R. Gronkowski
LG - L. Mankins
RG - B. Waters
DE - A. Carter
DT/NT - V. Wilfork
ST - M. Slater

Hernandez was edged out by Gates, total snub IMO.
Gates - 59 catches for 672 yards (11.4 avg, long of 27) and 6 TDs
Hernandez - 72 catches for 772 yards (10.7 avg, long of 46) and 6 TDs

This is called getting in by reputation and/or being overshadowed by a beast named Rob Gronkowski.

Arrington was edged out by Bailey, Revis, and Joseph.

According to Reiss, Arrington has allowed the second lowest QB rating in the entire NFL when QB's threw at him (Revis was #1) and he is currently tied for 1st in interceptions.

Can't argue with 8 being valued as the best at their positions in the AFC, but I believe it should have been 10.

Edit: 8 on Roster, 7 are "starters" as STers aren't counted as starters.

Kyle Arrington deserved a trip to Hawaii

Without him as the best player by far in a bad secondary and a guy who has stayed nearly injury free and also those key INTs....where would we be?

Funny how going into this offseason RG and DE were 2 of our biggest needs, and now we have pro bowlers at both positions Good offseason for BB aside from the DB situation

Great to see a couple of Bill's scrap heap reclamation projects get the nod. Couldn't hardly find two more deserving guys. Perhaps he hasn't lost his touch... Next order of business to to insure no Patriots actually attend the event.

Aaron Hernandez getting some love from NFLN as a snub. . . . and GRONK will be appearing a little later on the show.
