Which Dolphins Do You Think Have A Chance Of A Pro-Bowl Season?

Jake Long, Wake and maybe Fields.

That is it.

 

Wake
Long
Pouncey
Bush
Fasano
Vontae Davis
Soliai
Odrick

 

Dansby
Wake
Pouncey (Depending on injuries to other C's)

This is offbeat, but Marcus Thigpen or whomever or returner is.

 

Ryan Tannehill




Couldn't resist.

 

Suspect we see lots of KR and PR's this yr, either the D will be great, or we will see long Td plays often with young S's, either way whomever the returner is will see lots of opportunites which means more yds and potential Td's.

As for Dansby, what I'm thinking is our DT's are good enough to keep blockers off of him allowing him to make more plays

 

Long and Wake, that's about it.

 

Don't read to much into that Bpk, camp legs, could have been trying new techniques etc.

We know what Starks is.

 

If Davis plays the entire season the way he did the last 8 games last year, then there is a good chance he can do it. I think it really all comes down to getting him focused sooner rather than later.

 

Starks, Long, Soliai, Wake, Fields, and Carpenter (assuming his 1st game woes do not continue) are the players with the best chances IMO.

 

That's basically what my list would look like, but I'd replace Davis with Sean Smith. I know he was beat on friday, but I think he could have a big year.

 

I'm still under the impression Starks is a better 3-4 End then 4-3 DT. He played that in Tennessee but only flashed. Then immediately was very good when placed in the 3-4 as an end. We will see...

 

Cameron Wake ALWAYS has a legit chance. As does Jake Long.

Charles Clay won't make it because no matter what the ball will be distributed between he and Anthony Fasano, and when you're in conference with Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez, not to mention Antonio Gates, Dustin Keller, Owen Daniels and Heath Miller, to go along with upstarts like Greg Olsen and Jared Cook...just too tough to crack into the Pro Bowl.

Randy Starks has an outside chance although tough competition abounds with Geno Atkins, Haloti Ngata, Marcell Dareus, Kyle Williams, Vince Wilfork and Richard Seymour.

With Nick Mangold, Chris Myers and Maurkice Pouncey all in the AFC...it's going to be difficult for Mike Pouncey to get in.

Believe it or not both of our Guards may actually have a shot. I know that sounds crazy, but in this system it's true, and the AFC competition isn't fierce.

Karlos Dansby has a shot this year but he's got this weird curse of always being the runner up.

Are we counting our kick and punt guys?

 

Chad Johns.... Nevermind... Umm Anthony Fasano maybe? He appeared like a top target first week of preseason

 

Actually that first year in Miami, Mike Nolan had him essentially playing what he had already been playing in Tennessee...which is DT in a four man front. He hardly ever (if ever) played DE in 2008.

 

Ignoring the K/P/ST crowd I'll go conservative...Jake Long and Cam Wake.

 

Rookies get hype, he'd probaly have to do less this year than next.

Yes, but wasn't he in the 3 technique in Nolan's defense?

 

Unless Clay lines up enough at FB to where they classify him as such? Or no..I don't know how classification works.

 

Long, Wake and maybe Bush/Solia...lol @ everyone else

 

Daniel Thomas. His hamstring is healthy.

 

My opinion is that no matter how well individual players play, we're going to struggle to get notoriety with almost anyone until we start winning. A winning team, obviously, makes even "just above average" players stand out. We've seen time and time again: a player on a winning team with lesser stats beating out a guy who looked all world. That being said, as of now, we don't have many all world players on our team. Not yet. I'll agree with several people here: Jake Long, Cam Wake, and possibly Bush. Fields is a wild card as well.

I honestly don't care if any of our players make the pro bowl. I just want to see them grow as a team. I want to see progress. Pro Bowls will come after that.

 

Besides the obvious choices, Long and Wake, I think Dansby will make a case for the Pro Bowl.

 

Long..Wake..Bush..Dansby..Solai..Fields..

 

Not to be too anal but Paul Pasqualoni's defense. I don't know if I agree he hardly ever played DE, but he went from playing both 1- and 3-technique in Tennessee to almost completely a 3-technique in Miami. When Nolan came they shifted to more of a 2-gap base defense, and if anything that's been something that would alter or limit Starks.

 

I'm not sure how it's listed, I think it seems to go by what the player is listed at on the roster.

If Charles Clay is listed at fullback, I'd pretty much call him a lock.

 

Maybe I am wrong, but I thought he was almost exclusive to the 1 technique in Tennessee. Either way, my point stands about him being in the 3 technique his first year. I think that fit him best personally.

Not saying he won't be successful, or he will have a down year. But, I think it bears watching.

 

Long, Wake, Marshall and long shot with Wallace

 

Only if he buys a plane and game ticket to Honolulu

 

You could be right, but I was under the impression it was a switching thing between him and Haynesworth.

 

i don't really have much interest about the pro bowl. if they selected pro bowls spots with zero fan voting, and only players/coaches/scouts/and good analysts, it might be a little less of a popularity contest, but it'd still be one. For instance, you know Revis will make it, barring him losing a leg in the first game or something. In that same regard Jake will likely make the pro bowl, even if he isn't very effective, just on name recognition alone.

all that said, i'm not trying to down this thread or anything, it's a valid conversation. With that, my guesses would be Cam Wake, Jake Long, Reggie Bush (maybe), and thats about it. Fields could sneak in there but who knows.

 

Long and Wake. No surprises. I think Pouncey has the talent, but I don't think he'll surpass the other Pro-Bowl centers in the AFC in the minds of the voters. Likewise for Reggie Bush and the other AFC running backs.

 

Vontae Davis
