Who has the best chance of being the next Pro Bowler for the Bengals?


Recommended Posts

There are just so many options. My peronal list may be homer long, and they all might not make the Pro Bowl, but here's my top five breakout guys for next year

1. David Pollack- From what I've read about the guy, he is going to do nothing but succeed, it's all his work ethic allows. He's my #1 breakout guy for next year. I expect big things

2. I'll put Odell here, but you could argue he's already breaking out

3. The comeback of Madieu Williams. All of us has been talking about this guy coming back for too long now. Injury prone concerns me, but this is his YEAR

4. Everyone's favorite local drunk, Justin Smith. Something about those contract years, I wonder what it could be :rolleyes:

5. We'll go two for one, and say the Perry's, Chris and Tab. Carson's big ? makes Perry a great #2 running back option to help burden the load and be a perfect outlet for whatever backup. Tab will continue to shine returning kicks, blossom on a few punt returns, expand his role at the reciever position and the h-back position

Housh, Chad, Willie, Levi, Carson, Deltha, and Steinbach will represent us in the pro Bowl. I could name more, but once you get to 8 your just a blind homer. Great, everything just went dark on me :P

Everyones forgetting Shane Graham ^_^ .

I think he has already made a probowl unless I'm mistaken. I think Levi has the best chance. All of the great AFC tackles are getting old and IMO Levi leads the new class.

Yeah he went last year :yes: , my bad.

Ok...lets think this out logically and not as a homer. First off, Odell would have to have the best year of any Bengal LB in history to make the Pro-Bowl in the AFC simply because of the other LB in the AFC. Ray Lewis being back next year knocks him back a spot. And I know he isn't as good as he once was, but as long as fan voting is part of the process, he will be there if he plays 13+ games.

Pollack and Justin Smith also sit in a bad position as far as other guys in the league that can keep them from making it. Dwight Freeney will be there every year as long as he keeps getting to the QB.

Madieu will probably have a Pro-Bowl year if he stays healthy BUT, since he isn't as well known yet, I think it takes 2 good years in a row to get the recognition needed to get to the Pro-Bowl.

On Offense, everyone sees how long it took Willie to get to the Pro-Bowl, well Wille Roaf still in the league along with Ogden, it will still take Levi another year to get to the big island. Same goes with Steinbach, sitting behind Will Shields. It's all about publicity.

As for the one guy I think could make it....Tab Perry as the Special Teams player. He returns kicks and guns. If he also steps into the punt returner spot this year that would be a bonus. Dante Hall has fallen off greatly, and last years starter Mathis is a Dallas Texan so his chance at consistancy isn't so favorable.

Well I guess this is why they play the games...(Chris Berman)

:sure:

Levi and Steinbach were already alternates, so their day is coming. Housh puts up big numbers... but there are so many good receivers out there, they won't be able to justify putting 2 Bengal WR's out there.

Madieu and Odell should be the first ones on the defense... but with how highly sacks are regarded these days, Pollack might make it before either of them.

I think it will be DPollack for what DShank said I think he will have a lot of sacks with SAdams taking on double teams then MWilliams then OThurman...

Someone seems to have missed NEXT Pro Bowler. Shane already is a Pro Bowler :) Never mind, this was cleared up!

That being said, the next Pro Bowler will be Levi Jones. Yeah, it's a tough market, but this guy shut down Freeney and company last year, and there was a lot of talk about it. He'll get more press this year as our team continues to improve.

There's only one way Houshmandzadeh makes the Pro Bowl, and that's if Chad Johnson goes down for the season. TJ's a no. 2 WR, and on a team with a Pro Bowl no. 1 WR and a 1400 yard RB, he'll only get so many catches and yards. He can't put up the kind of numbers he would need to beat out all of the no. 1 WRs in the AFC.

TJ puts up great numbers, and he's getting a lot more attention lately. I don't see him beating out Harrison, but Chris Chambers? Maybe. Rod Smith? Easily. Eddie Kennison? Easily. Reggie Wayne? Maybe. And he's a number two guy too.
