London Fletcher starting in Pro Bowl?

[Dominique Skins]

I think London Fletcher starts in the pro bowl this week with Patrick Willis being hurt and leaving so Jon Beason came and replaced him. Note: Dont have a link but if you watch the pro bowl practice you will see them interview Jon Beason

I think you forgot something in your thread title. Like a ?.

Orakpo said he, Ware and Beason are starting.

I like Fletcher,plays with heart, great leader, and he dosnt complain or get hurt. That being said i can see why hes been overlooked,all he does is make tackles,not behind the line or behind the sticks,he dosnt get sacks, and he aint that great in coverage.Granted ,he may be our best player on D,but to be included in PRO BOWL consideration, you gotta have some FLASH,not saying its right just a matter of fact.

What a bunch of nonsense this is. MLBs don't tend to rack up a lot of sacks or even penetrate the line in most defensive schemes. Hell, Fletcher has 6.5 less sacks in his career than Ray Lewis and Lewis has been a starter in the league three years longer than Fletch.

i dont get how fletcher was the first MLB to be called up, and yet beason could start OVER him...

[Dominique Skins]

The reason is because its not true

well they said that he'd be replacing willis, who is a starter... could imply that he will be starting. i understand that vilma was out of the pro bowl first, but it still could be... beason is another great young talent

London Fletcher is incredible in coverage. Probably the best covering linebacker I've ever seen.

[Vooskin]

lol what? You haven't watched much football then. He's ok in coverage. Far from "incredible".
