Would be 4 if Landry was healthy.. but it takes 7 other players to make a good defense. Hopefully we can find those 7 guys in the offseason.

ATX, I guess you can look @ it like they are only getting is as alternatives which for me is like saying "your not good enough but if something happens to the guy better than you than your in".. which is essentially what happened. Fletch.. definitely.. Hall..eh, but who else??.. Orakpo.. I just don't see what he did THAT good all season, I guess the list for that position must have been pretty hollow.

D.Hall did win us 2 games. I'll be happy to see all 3 of those guys representing the 'Skins in the Pro Bowl, but Fletch deserves it the most IMO.

Agreed. Imagine if we hadnt faced the bears and Orakpo wasnt held all year long...

For starters, itg takes a NT to make the 3-4 work. I sure hope we can find 1. That would go a long wat to a return to respectability.

It will always be a shame that Fletcher didn't get more recognition in his career, but I'm really happy that he's going again this year.

Fletch definitely deserves to go heck he should have at least 5 under his belt. I also think that this year was his best year in da NFL since he's played in a 4-3 his whole career and now he gets switched to a 3-4 and he's still just as productive. Hall eehhhh that 4 int game against the Bears is what go him in obviously....He prolly should have been an alternate just too inconsistent. Rack is about where he should be if the refs would have actually called some of those holds that would've helped a lot. I look for him to add a few new moves to his arsenal in the offseason to make him a true beast and continue to improve his run stopping skills and work in pass coverage some more. I actually think the Pro Bowl will help him since he can't blitz.
HTTR!!!!!!!!!!!!
