1. Antoine Winfield was long overdue.
Problem was, he hasn't ever gotten a lot of interceptions. He's just an excellent cover corner who tackles better than 99% of the players in the league. Not flashy, just reliable. His big plays this year (sack, strip, recovery, TD against Carolina, returned blocked FG for a TD on national TV against the Saints) probably made the difference.

3. Not getting a lot of ints can at times be a compliment, of course.

2. Congratulations to Brown alum and (relatively) local kid Sean Morey
Making the pro-bowl for NFC special teams.

4. I am in no way a 'Skins fan but London Fletcher got ripped
he has been all over the field all season. He kept them in several games with outstanding plays.

Matt Ryan should not only be in the Pro Bowl but should be at least the NFC MVP.

5. Yes he did.
The Skins have IIRC the 5th ranked defense in the NFL and didn't get any Pro Bowl invites, Yeah, I'm biased, but Fletcher, as well as Chris Horton, both deserved to be there. And I also agree with you on Matt Ryan.

6. Corey Webster
is a glaring omission. He leads the league in passes defended despite getting very few opportunities. He's basically shut off half the field in most Giants games this year. Woodson and Samuel are there off reputation.
