Title: Another Dolphin Makes the Pro-Bowl Post by: Jim Gray on January 20, 2011, 11:14:39 am Long snapper John Denney was a "coaches selection" for the Pro Bowl. http://www.miamidolphins.com/news/john-denney-chosen-coach-s-selection-2011-pro-bowl Title: Re: Another Dolphin Makes the Pro-Bowl Post by: CF DolFan on January 20, 2011, 01:12:49 pm I would guess this is based on historical reputation. Then again ... with so many FGs I guess he really did do a good job. I don't think he blew one snap this year that I can think of and he had plenty of chances.
Title: Re: Another Dolphin Makes the Pro-Bowl Post by: Brian Fein on January 20, 2011, 05:34:26 pm I honestly can't remember the last time he blew a snap. Long snapper is one of those positions no one cares about until you have a bad one.
Props and congrats to Denney, the real unsung hero or the team.

It's always "interesting" to watch games where the long snapper gets injured. There's rarely a replacement and having the timing off on kicks can add a lot to an otherwise dull contest.

If the long snapper's name is mentioned on TV during a game, something has gone wrong. I would have to say long snapper is the position that is least likely to ever get recognition.

Replaced one of the Steelers, Keisel. Title: Re: Another Dolphin Makes the Pro-Bowl Post by: Pappy13 on January 25, 2011, 10:13:08 am Do these players that get added to the team after the fact get counted as "pro-bowlers" officially?

Based on what I read elsewhere.... Yes, Both the guys who originally named and the guys who play are considered pro-bowlers. However if you are named as replacement and skip you are not. I.E. if Wake is a no show he will still be considered a pro-bowler, however, if Starks plays he will be a pro-bowler, if he skips he won't be.
