I would pretty much saddle up almost our entire defense. Maybe swap out a couple players here and there with obviously elite talent, perhaps an Earl Thomas at safety....
And I'd feel good about them facing off VS almost any "pro bowl" offensive roster.
He's got outside linebackers Chandler Jones and Jadeveon Clowney, so he has no spot for a traditional WLB like Telvin Smith, which is very unfair in my opinion. Clowney and Jones are 3-4 OLBs, which are really defensive ends.
I agree. I like 4-3 defenses with 3 traditional LBs. I think Smith will be robbed his entire career on making good a Pro Bowl. Him and Jack both, are some of the fastest backers in the entire league.
Basically, he's running 8 linemen and 2 linebackers.
We should have about 5 or 6 pro bowlers if it has any credibility. No one really goes that's voted in anyways but the vote counts more than anything since it's based on league, player and fan personnel. I don't think we have a single offensive pro bowler but half the defense should go.
Too bad our guys will be busy when the pro bowl is being played.....

I think the Pro Bowl should move away from the DE/OLB/MLB labels and move to DL/EDGE/LB.
Defensively I would take Ramsey, Bouye, Campbell, Ngakoue, Jackson and Smith without hesitating on my team this year. You can make a STRONG case for Church and Gipson as well.
