i meant i don't think he deserved it. not that i had running tallies on every safety in the afc but i just don't think he played probowl caliber safety. he played well, just not probowl well....to me anyway, and who am i to question how probowlers are selected?

Fast forward a couple years, and he was pro bowl player, why because he matured.
Let Kubiak's and Smith's guys mature, they have completely redone this roster and we have not started their 3rd year. I see potential in these guys. Not all of them will work out, but many will.
BTW I agree the LB is top priority, along with RDE.

i think i was pretty clear with what i wanted...but yea, i'll take an all-star team as long as they are in the right uniform.
...and it's not like we got to see either of the brandons' play. i mean neither one of them got a shake last year and
I almost played safety for the texans the way they were going down
...i know one was IR'ed. their guys are starting to surface in the lineups everywhere but the defensive backfield, save fred bennett coming out midway through the year. S is still capserly'ed up with brown/earl and demps was a free agent so...unless you're banking on barber or harrison to develop into something great by the 2009 draft we still need help at S. having a guy like demps is great but it's just that much better to have a playmaker next to him. we've got 'em at every level of D except S mario, amobi on the d'line, demeco LB, dunta and fred CBs and......?
to be honest i wouldn't care if LB, DE, and S were the first 3 selections next year, but i love defense. that gets me going on every play as much as it does when the offense scores. if they really wanted to round out the line with a complete DE not just a pass rusher i say do it. but if they are just looking for a pass rusher...i wouldn't be so thrilled about spending a high pick on it.
