There's a guy on the Bills with 9.5 sacks. Geno has 4.5.
Many Pro Bowl voters go for a name they know, and many are undeserved.
Geno is still a man that most times requires two men to block him effectively. Just because he's not lighting up the stat sheet, does not mean that teams don't have to prepare especially for him.
Weather getting by on past rep or not, congrats Geno!
Good for him...I guess? He hasn’t even been close to our best DL (Dunlap & maybe even Hubbard), but whatever. This is why the PB should never be used as your main point in an argument.
Congrats to Geno. In this season where many Bengal "fans" are suggesting Bengal players are looking out for themselves. Geno has laced them up and went out there every week.

Why wouldn’t he? We made him one of the highest paid defensive players in the league. And iirc the highest paid at his age.

FWIW, he made him one of the highest paid defensive players in the league, we just flipped the bill. There's cases of those highly paid that do not go out there on a weekly basis. It appears the Bengals have gotten there money's worth. They paid a quality player who gave them all he had in each game.
Pro Bowl is a popularity thing and the game is 2 hand touch.

You'll not get me to disagree with this; as my favorite Bengal of all time never made the Pro Bowl while making 1st team All Pro 4 times. But that shouldn't stop us for congratulating one of our own receiving the recommendation from his peers.
I'm suprised.. he hasn't done a whole lot this year.
This just reminds me why the pro bowl should be voted on by coaches and players not ******** fans
Why do fans seem to strictly grade DT’s on the sack stats?

Because education isn't thought of as a particularly noble endeavor anymore? That's all I have there.

If a guy is taking on 2 guys, I’d say there’s some real value there!
Popularity is about it. Many people have a few players or just one they want to vote for. Most cases you must select multiple players at each position so after they pick who they really want, the rest is just clicking on familiar names. Or being a homer selecting every player on their favorite team. I wish everyone could only select one player period. This would cut down on just clicking familiar names to get through the selections.
