If Mario and Andre don't go it will be another travesty of justice.

I heard the radio guys talking about Slaton to the Pro Bowl yesterday. He's a rook and plays for the semi-obscure Texans but, he's right up there in the top 5 AFC running backs in statistics...

The following stats belong to AP and Slaton respectively: Rk Player Team Pos Att Att/G Yds Avg Yds/G TD Lng 1st 1st% 20+ 40+ FUM 1 Steve Slaton HOU RB 180 15.0 904 5.0 75.3 8 71T 43 23.9 10 4 1 2 Adrian Peterson MIN RB 270 22.5 1,311 4.9 109.2 9 59 59 21.9 15 3 4 Add onto that Slaton has caught 34, 250, and 1 TD. Peterson is 18 for 94. Totals are Slaton 214 touches for 1154 and 9 tds. With 5 plays of 40+. Peteron has 288 touches for 1395 for 9 tds. With 3 plays of 40+. AP has more touches more yards, more rushes of 20+, and one more rushing touchdown. He also has 3 more fumbles. Slaton has a higher per average, and one more run of 40+. Not bad for a third rounder.

The pro bowl has only slightly more respectability as a measure of performance than the gold glove in baseball....and that's not saying much.

Unfortunatly for Slaton the biggest thing most will look at is YPG, Total Rushing, and AVG. He only has AP hedged in 1 category. AP also does it almost alone, with no passing offense behind him, where SS has a big edge.
AJ is locked, Mario is possible but I doubt it ranked 4th for DE's and 7th for total sacks. Marios FF is about the average for top 10 sack leaders. Daniels is 4th in TE's for total yards and he has proven he is a decent run blocker to boot.I suspect he has a pretty good shot, but Gates could beat him out because he is more poppular. Pitts and Winston have been solid, if I had to pick one it would be Eric, but the likely hood of him going is slim to non, as we are not a winning team with a killer run game. |

Incorrect sir...look at the stats again by position...there are 3 OLBS in front of him IN THE AFC but no DEs there in lies the distinction. And as far as I know the OLBs don't qualify for the DE rankings anymore than a CB qualifies as a S. But in case you want to check yourself try to vote for Joey Porter as a DE, and let me know if you can. While you are at it throw a ballot for Johnson, Daniels, Slaton and Ryans.

Slaton and Andre are the only ones that deserve to go. I hope Mario "Show Up Every Other game" Williams doesn't get in and he unleashes his potential next year.
Crap, people worship the guy and he's consistently NOT double teamed...but he is better than Vince and Reggie. ![]() |
