Buftex Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 According to Chris Brown: Lynch and Stroud alternates for Pro Bowl By Chris Brown - Posted December 24th, 2008 Buffalobills.com has confirmed that Marshawn Lynch and Marcus Stroud were named alternates for the AFC squad for this year’s Pro Bowl. Lynch is ranked fourth in the AFC this season in rushing with 1,036 yards on the season. He needs 80 this week to top his total from 2007. Marcus Stroud is fourth on the team in tackles with 77 and is tied for second on the team in tackles for loss with 6. He also has 2.5 sacks. Congrats to them both. I was kind of surprised that Stroud was selected. Not so much that I think he isn't deserving, just the only "reviews" I have heard of his play this season, have been negative. Imagine what he could do with real NFL defensive ends on each side... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't the general line before the season about how Stroud was going to make our defensive ends look better by eating up potential double teams on the inside? That hasn't happened.

That hasn't happened. I wonder how much better our DE's would look if our best DE wasn't out most of the season, though. It's not like any of us expected Kelsay and Denney to be top level DEs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Wasn't the general line before the season about how Stroud was going to make our defensive ends look better by eating up potential double teams on the inside? That hasn't happened. That was the general line and Stroud has been double teamed. Our defensive ends are just awful. They're backup caliber players, one of whom commited highway robbery against the Bills with his salary. Congrats to Stroud and Lynch. Well deserved. Maybe next year we can feed Lynch the ball a bit more, while surrounding Stroud with actual talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justice Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 The Pro Bowl is a sham! Every year these guys love making the Pro Bowl so that they can negotiate for more money and at the same time many of the Pro Bowlers opt not to play in the game. By the time the Pro Bowl comes around there are like 75 so called "Pro Bowlers" in each conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganesh Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Wasn't the general line before the season about how Stroud was going to make our defensive ends look better by eating up potential double teams on the inside? That hasn't happened. Actually he has improved the RUn defense tremendously....However, with Schoebel missing most of the season, it has been hard for STroud to continue penetrate the inside and rush the QB....Look at Strouds play before and after Schoebels injury.

Denney is better than Schobel, yes that's right, better than Schobel. You can't be serious. I do think Denney is better than Kelsay, though. I guess the bottom line is that these aren't the 3 DEs you want heading into the future, for a lot of reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like any of us expected Kelsay and Denney to be top level DEs I think our best defensive end is the one we draft in Round 1 of the 2009 Draft, unless there is somebody in free agency that we can lure away (unlikely).

ans4e64 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 HA HA HA!!!!! Denney better than Schobel!!!!! HA HA HA!!!!!!! thanx, I needed a laugh! Tell me what Schobel gives that Denney doesn't, because Schobel hasn't been able to rush the passer in over 2 years. His skills and quickness is gone, he even said it himself. Now people still like him because he's "good against the run." Well, aside from the occasional lapse on reverses, so is Denney. And I believe Denney also has the most sacks on the team. 2 years ago it would be a travesty to compare Schobel and Denney. But right now, they are equal players.

Buftex Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 Actually, those are precisely the two names I would have guessed. I would have guessed Marshawn, and either Moorman (a perenial) or McKelvin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
