It truly is amazing to me how many guys we have playing at a Pro Bowl level. We all know most won’t get in because they aren’t household names, but just playing at that level is good enough for me. You could make a case for all of our skill position players on offense, and a pretty good one at that (I don’t really consider TE a skill position). I thought Connor Barth was a lock, but he looks like he needs wider goal posts lately. I don’t know if it should be attributed to coaching, the off season, experience, or the scheme, but the improvement is extremely impressive.

Here’s a Hawai’ian vote in favor of the pineapple thing (even though we don’t really grow it here anymore)- love it, especially in reference to Lorig- one of my favorite Bucs- hanging out here and eating it. A couple of sources cited Martin’s lopsided stats with and without a lead blocker – read: Erik Lorig.

Luther , me too.Lorig has responded to the new regime’s coaching–Earnest Byner?? Starting to remind me of The Moose in Big D a while back.

@st augustine

Yes it does, too bad Lorig isn’t a power back he would make a great replacement for Blount on goal line.

Count me as one of those that had doubts about Lorig. The guy has proven me wrong and that makes be a very happy fan.

Relax on the pineapple references Joe… The first time it was clever, now its just getting annoying, its almost like your trying to coin the phrase…

Lorig is going to have tons of competition on being the first Buccaneer draftee to start a pro bowl.

Offensively, Doug Martin might not be the leading vote getter, but he is more likely to ATTEND the pro bowl over Peterson and Lynch, so he has a shot too.

Mike Williams has a ton of competition, but he is excellent in what he does. Josh Freeman has a shot as well, considering the likelihood that the other QBs (Brees, Rodgers, Ryan Manning) could bow out.

Defensively, Mason Foster and Lavonte David are playing at pro bowl levels.

McCoy has a shot if and only if he can add statistics to his disruptiveness.

Mark Barron has been a huge addition and there aren’t many great safeties in the NFC. Considering the Bucs D is #1 against the run, this bodes well for Buc defenders.

A fullback from the Buccaneers in the Popularity Bowl? Not happening.

We’re lucky the masses know who Doug Martin is.
