Pro Bowl
 
Mario and AJ made the pro bowl. Congrats to them for their well deserved recognition. Hopefully next year, Schaub, Slaton, OD, Winston, Walter, Dunta, Demeco, and an DT to be named later can join them.

very well deserved by both Mario and AJ. The full list is on nfl.com. once we get to playoffs we'll have plenty guys maturing and getting recognition.

Congrats to Mario and AJ. We are ever so close to turning that corner and becoming a contender. Next year's draft is going to be very interesting to see.

And both named as starters.

Maybe I'll actually watch it this year.

I think Slaton deserved to be there over Ronnie Brown. But who knows... aren't these things selected in about week 8?

Five Texans named as alternates:

Quote:

Texans tight end Owen Daniels and linebacker DeMeco Ryans, who started in the Pro Bowl last year, were named first alternates for the AFC squad. Fullback Vonta Leach, guard Chester Pitts and running back Steve Slaton are second alternates for the game.
And the one cheerleader, of course:

Quote:

Third-year Texans Cheerleader Ashley, selected by a vote from her teammates, will represent the Texans in Hawaii with Johnson and Williams.

Congrats to them!

I want to watch Mario opposite Freeney and see what happens.

Member the good ol days when we had 9 probowlers on offense with the Oilers?

I was looking at the AFC team and that is one impressive bunch. And then I looked at the NFC...now I hate the cowgirls but loved the fact that Whitten made it and crybaby owens didn't.

I'm OK with the guys we got named as alternates....probably one or two will get to go. Slaton's probably the easiest to make a snubbed case for....and I've heard at least one writer do it. He's a rookie who didn't become "the man" for us until a few weeks into the season, so I'm not surprised or upset. Leach should be there as well IMO as a "true" fullback.


I've said it before, but I don't think Walter gets enough recognition. I know I could put up a few catches with AJ opposite of me. I'm not saying that he should be there, but a guy who will probably crack a 1,000 yards and is second in the AFC in TD's for WR's should at least be in the conversation. Even among Texans fans I think he's really really under-appreciated. It must be because he's white....yes, that was a joke that no one should take seriously.
