Lacy got robbed. Flat out deserves to be there. That said, it's not uncommon for a player or two to drop out so he's got a shot.

Rashad Johnson is a definite snub. Julio needs to be starting! Otherwise it is like "Shakespeare in Love" over "Saving Private Ryan"!

Being name Pro Bowl "starter" means nothing. The teams are drafted by two coaches, and so all this is is a vote total formality. Julio isn't being snubbed by being a reserve, he could be one of the team's first WR taken.

As for Lacy, he didn't get snubbed either. Three of the top 5 backs in the League this year (Murray, Lynch, McCoy) just happen to be in the NFC and beat him out. Eddie only averaged 69.3 ypg while battling injuries. It just wasn't his year, no shame in that. It's likely that one of them won't be playing in the Pro Bowl, though, and he should be the 4th man in line so he might make it after all.

Even though some didn't make it,it's good to know a lot of our players have still become very productive in this league.And hopefully now the media will stop with the Alabama players are largely busts narrative.When a total of 7 of our players could have easily been named pro bowlers.

Murray and Lynch? Sure. McCoy? Not so much. Eddie had more total yards, more yards from scrimmage, more than half a yard per carry more and 2 1/2 times more TDs (13 to 5). McCoy had more carries and so he had more yards. That's it. Eddie was more deserving than McCoy.

I'll give you McCoy purely stat wise.
