I thought each (fans, players, coaches) had 1/3 of the final vote.
I'm shocked that Keith keeps getting snubbed by coaches and players year in and out. It really does grind my gears (No Peter Griffin :ha

Fan voting accounts for 1/3 of the votes
the coaches and players account for the other 2/3 - not sure of the %
in other words, not sure if they account for 1/3 equally
personally, I think KVB should have gone in front of Jason Taylor
Small market players won't draw the ratings like big market players.
It's all about selling deodorant, beer, sports cars. It's an effin shame that KVB and KB didn't get picked by the players and coaches.

I'm just a casual fan, but I just don't get the snub. I wonder what coaches and other players don't see in Bullock that fans do? Early in his career you could say that he hadn't earned the respect, but now he's been around long enough and proven himself and still isn't getting respect.

Got screwed? Not really. KVB is the only one that should have been considered at all. Bulluck didn't have a good year....He didn't have that much of an impact at all on D this year he got a few sacks and a few picks....but really he made way too many tackles 10+ yards downfield...He did get screwed last year though. Bulluck has a lot of tackles yeah...but how many were near the LOS...he whiffed on too many tackles, and got way to many downfield. He didn't deserve a pro bowl berth this year. I say this despite Bulluck being my favorite player on my favorite team.
And what's with the Cato June bashing? He has had a great year on a good team and is deserving of a pro bowl...he has 5 picks to go along with his good play against the run.
excellent post and I totall agree about Bulluck. playing 4-3 the LB are supposed to get a lot of tackles. Bulluck outplayed the MLB, but that ain't saying much is it.
I have to agree. I think that KVB is the only player we had that stood out enough to go to the pro bowl.

As long as our players aren't involved!
Remember Robert Edwards? He pretty much screwed himself over playing flag football on the beach....he had a real bad injury from that.
Stop with the "small market" sob story. KVB is a decent player, but the Titans had a crappy year.
It's not like they went 13-3 and got snubbed.

All Burgess has is sacks, KVB was a great rusher and run stopper. No guarantee Burgess will end leader in sacks. Thats all I got to say.
KB still might have a chance. I think I saw on NFL Net. that Cato June is gone for the rest of the year. Anyone else see this?
I was argueing with someone on irc about this, and keith bulluck in particular. He said "How can fans be expected to know who Keith Bulluck is, and what he's doing when he's playing for TEN?"
It really would look that way, apart from the fact that he was leading OLBs by fans. It's the coaches and players who have snubbed him, and they are the ones who have to watch film on him.

I agree with SK on this one. The players themselves don't even care enough to go a lot of times, and no one takes the game seriously. They should just name the teams (after the season is over, not with 2 games left!!) and not even play the game.
There may already be a post about this, but did anyone see the story about Tarik Glenn. The league told him he made the Pro Bowl, and then called him 90 minutes later, saying there was a computer error, you really did not make the Pro Bowl. Had to be pretty embarrasing for Glenn to call all the friends and family back and explain that situation. Good job NFL???
I agree with Starkiller, who cares?
It seems that to make the pro-bowl two things really help a player. One is to have a history of being a pro-bowl player. Second is to play on a good team and be viewed as one of the main reasons for the success of that team. If the Titans were one of the better defenses in the league, regardless of their overall record, KVB and KB could have easily been selected because they would get alot of credit for the success. Our defense isn't that good so they get snubbed. If we improve dramatically next year and these guys put up the same numbers I bet they go. I still don't understand the snub of Bulluck however. He has been playing great for quite a few years now, is known as one of the best OLBs in the game and has the stats to prove it. He should go before a guy who just happened to have a good year.
