    In fact, I go to a Pro Bowl party every year. We eat, we drink, we watch anything other than the Pro Bowl.

    Letting go of Michael Turner after Tomlinson's selling out his team in the AFC Championship was a massive mistake.

    Mike Sellers, who couldn't get 1 yard in 2 tries last week, is a joke at full back.

    In fact the FB position is not a serious position these days. Brandon Jacobs should be a fullback.
    It would be fun to see a team revert to the Csonka/Kiick mold.

    Giant should use Jacobs and Bradshaw in the same backfield[giantsfaboi]

    Can Jacobs block? Is it worth it to waste his body on blocking? Its better to use a disposable player as lead blocker.

    I think NFL.com has a handfull of their experts or something like that pick their own Pro Bowl rosters, and when you look at them side-by-side you get more of a feeling for the players who probably deserve to be there.

    I think the Mario-Williams-is-a-bad-pick debate has been ended.

    In that article, every single NFC defensive end picked had a first name starting with a J: Julius Peppers, John Abraham, Justin Tuck, Jared Allen. That's creepy.

    This makes Albert Haynesworth an unrestricted free agent. Now there's an agent!

    At least Sellers is actually a fullback.

    Does L'Ron McLain ever even line up at fullback for the Ravens? He only played tailback against the Steelers this past Sunday. Lorenzo Neal is Baltimore's fullback.

    I keep wondering when somebody is going to try an old-school offense that uses a fullback as a runner so they have two threats to carry the ball in the backfield. With most offenses now, a handoff to the fullback is a trick play, about as common as a reverse.

    Only if they use him primarily as a lead blocker. With 2 backs capable of running the ball in the same backfield, the defense can't key on one, you can always fake the trap and have the other go wide.

    BTW, Anyone in Houston going to publicly apologize to Charlie Casserly for drafting Mario Williams ahead of Young and Bush
