Dumervil and Clady making all-pro

[gyldenlove]

We have 2 all-pro 1st teamers this year in Dumervil at OLB with Ware and Clady with Joe Thomas at OT.

Go Ryan and Elvis. Hopefully the first of many for Elvis. 2nd year Clady makes the All-pro team he was a 2nd teamer last year.

[Bronco Rob]

Nice....


WTG D00M & BG!

Dawkins was named 2nd team All-pro.

Wow, those are incredible honors. Congrats to Clady and Doom. Personally, I thought Clady struggled this year, more than last, but this is a great award for him none the less. Hopefully it boosts his confidence even higher than it already was.

[Hercules Rockefeller]

WR- 8 WRs received votes, Marshall and Vincent Jackson were both last with 2 votes
OT- Clady was 1st with 30 votes, Thomas had 18, Roos and Long both had 12

I'm not surprised Clady is the best tackle in the business.

Clady did struggle a bit this year, but he is still a formidable force on that LT position.

Bob's late. Where's the gif of Hali pushing past Clady?

The postseason individual honors continue to pile up for the Broncos.

Outside linebacker Elvis Dumervil and left tackle Ryan Clady on Thursday were named to the Associated Press All-Pro first team, marking the fifth time in the past 20 years that the Broncos have had multiple make the exclusive team. Both players made the All Pro team for the first time.

Safety Brian Dawkins was a second-team All Pro.

Dumervil led the NFL with 17 sacks, including 11 sacks on third down. Clady, who made the team in only his second year in the NFL, has been regarded as one of the league's premiere left tackles since early in his rookie season.

"I think I'm really thankful and honored to be recognized as one of the best at my
position," Dumervil said Thursday. "I'm blessed. It shows that hard work pays off."

The Broncos were one of seven teams with multiple players on the first team, along with Minnesota (RB Adrian Peterson, G Steve Hutchinson, DE Jared Allen and DT Kevin Williams), Indianapolis (QB Peyton Manning, TE Dallas Clark, DE Dwight Freeney), New Orleans (G Jahri Evans, S Darren Sharper), Dallas (DT Jay Ratliff, DE DeMarcus Ware) New York Jets (CB Darrelle Revis, C Nick Mangold), and Cleveland (T Joe Thomas, KR Josh Cribbs).

Tennessee running back Chris Johnson, who rushed for more than 2,000 yards this season, was the only unanimous selection on either offense or defense.

The All Pro team is selected by a panel of 50 media members, and does not designate separate teams for the AFC and NFC.

Denver cornerback Champ Bailey, voted to his ninth Pro Bowl this season, was left off the first- and second-teams despite not allowing a touchdown this season — while often shadowing the opponent's top receiver.

Denver cornerback Champ Bailey, voted to his ninth Pro Bowl this season, was left off the first- and second-teams despite not allowing a touchdown this season — while often shadowing the opponent's top receiver.

Is it me or do great players in their 30s have to fight a stigma that they are over the hill even though there has been little dropoff in their play?

When Champ was selected to the Pro Bowl this year, I read posts from other fans that remarked it was an undeserving honor and that Bengals CBs Jonathan Joseph and Leon Hall were more deserving. A Raider fan at work told me that Champ's selection was phony. The term "old" is used more frequently these days when Champ is mentioned among his place of great cornerbacks.

Bailey had a hell of a year this season! He certainly wasn't on Revis' or Woodson's level, but he is still a Pro Bowl caliber cornerback in the very least.

not a single vote for hillis? what an outrage!

Clady did struggle a bit this year, but he is still a formidable force on that LT position.

I've been a big fan of his. I just wish he had more explosion at the point of attack on running plays and played with a little bit more of a meanstreak.

Not bad for his 2nd year as a pro though.

Look how well Woodson is playing at the age of 33. I see no reason to believe Champ won't play well at the age of 33 either.

[TheChamp24]

[rastaman]
