Did Freddie Jones get hosed by the Pro Bowl voters?

Shockey: 48 grabs for 535 yards, 2 td's, 29 first downs
Crumpler: 44 grabs for 552 yards, 3 td's, 26 first downs
Jones: 55 grabs for 517 yards, 3 td's, 19 first downs

Jones didn't have as many first downs, but he also had zero fumbles.

Shockey only played in 9 games, which is amazing considering his numbers.

Truth be told, I'd love to have Crumpler or Shockey over Jones.

That's not a slam to Jones--the guy can play; but I just like both Crumpler and Shockey better.

Shockey made it this year because of the hype/being in NY.
Given our offense, Freddie had a fine year.

The Cardinals are depriving some strip club of a perfectly good bouncer by keeping Bryant around.

I agree. I don't care for the man, but he's a kick arse football player.

We need some 'tude infused into the Cardinals organization in the offseason. I don't think we can continue to shy away from guys that might not tow the party line.

no, I'm just making the point that we could have gotten shockey instead of wendell in the draft. Wendell taken 12th, shockmiester taken 14th ... woulda...coulda...shoulda...

By the way section 11. If I were a strip club owner, I would seriously consider hand picking my bouncers from Wisco's D-lines.

Shockey seems to be a "cancer" waiting to happen. I don't follow the Giants that much anymore, but I recall Shockey dropping a touchdown pass and laughing about it, like it was no big deal. Soon after the whole team seemed to tank. I'm sure it wasn't all his fault, but he seems a little like a young Randy Moss, he'll play when he wants.

Jones fits the Cards better because he is a good blocker and has great hands. IMO, Jones is the better all-around player and very reliable.

Yes, he should have made it to the Pro Bowl.
