Nice bit of recognition. I'm little surprised JJo is a starter. He had a better year in 2011 since injury has slowed him significantly this year. I suppose he is being judged here based on a healthy version of himself.
On a side note, feel bad for Cushing. He's in his prime and playing on a top defense, yet injury has erased his 2012 season. Watching clips from last year's defense (which, at least since Cushing's injury, has been better than the 2012 defense), and I can't help but feel a little depressed knowing the team won't have him for the playoff run.
Back to the Pro Bowl... happy for Antonio as an alternate. He has been quietly having a nice season, overshadowed because of how uniquely special J.J. Watt has been. Which makes me wonder if this the Antonio we always had or if he is really just getting the full benefit of having Watt next to him. I'm sure there is plenty of both, but when it comes to Antonio's contract figure, makes me wonder what a suitable (and cheaper) replacement might do next to Watt.
