The initial Pro Bowl rosters were announced today and the Eagles are going to be well-represented in Miami. As of now, six Eagles have made the NFC team: K David Akers, DE Trent Cole, WR/KR DeSean Jackson, T Jason Peters, CB Asante Samuel and FB Leonard Weaver. Each player, with the possible exception of Peters, is very deserving of a spot and was basically a lock to make the team. Jackson was so good that he even made it for two positions, something that has never happened before.
It's hard to argue that the Eagles should have more players in the Pro Bowl, but a case can be made for Sheldon Brown. Brown has had an excellent year and would certainly be the first cornerback to make the team should one of the current NFC CB's get injured. A case could also be made for Brent Celek and even Donovan McNabb, but both were hurt by playing at positions filled with a ton of talent. Many players end up dropping out of the Pro Bowl so I wouldn't be surprised if an Eagle or two gets added in the coming weeks.
Of course, if all goes well, none of the Eagles will play in the Pro Bowl. Remember, the Pro Bowl is being played the weekend before the Super Bowl during the "dead week", so if the Eagles make the Super Bowl none of their players would play for the NFC. I'm sure they wouldn't be too disappointed if they don't get to suit up for the Pro Bowl.

Is the feild gonna be 99 yards long so jackson doesn't get confused...he did go to college but missed the math test as we all know....
Is Akers still gonna look up to the football gods when he misses....he's so good ...was hoping he's hit a tree or 2 before the gain by the way "gain" is how its said in Filthadlephia....not game its a gain.....just ask Hugh Douglas....its just a gain
wow can't wait reid is gonna coach for the next 3 years....so ya figure what 14 years in a row they don't win a super bowl....everyone else in the conference has but the Sparrows....maybe this year ....Reid hey hows his sons doing ...they get out of jail yet.....he's such a good father and the mother too .....good thing she owned those guns the one punk was waving around....such a nice family.
