rmackman Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I went to the Pro Bowl, I enjoyed it, but it could be done better. My dad and I both said it seemed to be missing something. Seems like they cut back a bit on the NFL Fan Experience as well. So, yes I had fun, but I won't shell out $100 for that again. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.

It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 I have a bit of a question about the strength of the rosters this year. Why were they thin? Were they worse than usual? Why were players more prepared to play the week after the Superbowl but not the week before? 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I saw two plays while flipping channels: a field goal where the D-linemen simply stood up and raised their hands (no rush at all), and an Aaron Rodgers TD pass where had the left defensive end given even a Pop Warner effort he would have crushed Rodgers but instead he stood there and let him throw the pass. What a joke.At least there was some humor...on the FG, you could hear one of the players yell, "Miss it!" That was about as much resistance as the offenses got I suppose.

BBTV Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I have a bit of a question about the strength of the rosters this year. Why were they thin? Were they worse than usual? Why were players more prepared to play the week after the Superbowl but not the week before?Well 14 players that were named couldn't play due to the Super Bowl, so that means that 14 alternates had to go, plus, some players claimed injury as an excuse to get out, while some (Sheldon Brown for example) just flat out said they weren't interested. So you get mediocre players masquerading as all-stars. Another reason why it needs to just stop.I saw two plays while flipping channels: a field goal where the D-linemen simply stood up and raised their hands (no rush at all), and an Aaron Rodgers TD pass where had the left defensive end given even a Pop Warner effort he would have crushed Rodgers but instead he stood there and let him throw the pass.

I'm pretty sure the "no pass rush on special teams" thing is an actual rule. Not sure if it's to prevent injury, or to protect the kickers, or what. Maybe because a blocking unit for kicks / punts takes more than a couple of practices to get it down? Not sure.
