Update: Jake Long only Dolphins' Pro-Bowler

Update: The official Pro Bowl rosters are here. The only Dolphin to make it is Jake Long - who will start at tackle along with fellow second-year tackle Ryan Clady of the Broncos. This is Long's second time being named to the Pro Bowl in just his second season. But it's the first time Jake was named a starter. Congrats to him!
Meanwhile, Lousaka Polite was robbed at fullback - as Baltimore's Le'Ron McClain was named the Pro Bowler at that position. But I guess we should have expected this, as often times players get named to the team thanks to their name recognition more so than their actual season performance. [End update]
Tonight at 7 pm eastern, the 2009 Pro Bowl teams will be announced live on NFL Network. I'm sure they will also post the rosters over at NFL.com for you to browse quickly.
Speaking of NFL.com, Vic Carruci shares his thoughts today on who should make the Pro Bowl for both the AFC and NFC. And I can't help but question the man's opinions. On one hand, he says Lousaka Polite should be the guy at fullback - and we'd all agree. On the other hand, he doesn't even mention Jake Long, instead writing that Vernon Carey is a "worthy candidate." Seriously - does this man even watch Dolphin games?
Carruci also thinks Yeremiah Bell is worthy of the strong safety spot. While I'd love to see it, I'm not 100% sure he really deserves it. But we'll see.
In my opinion, the Dolphins with the best chances are Polite and Long. Hopefully we get at least one of those two in.
Use this thread to discuss the selections once they are announced.

First!
Why would any of those guys at NFLN care about the Dolphins! We are not “as good of a team” in their eyes compared to some of the other glamorous teams like the Colts, Chargers, and of course, the Patriots! I’m looking for Long to be the only one getting in, and Polite to get screwed out of a spot.

Polite deserves it
Not sure about Long. I don’t think he played as well this season as last. That being said, I don’t think I saw a better left tackle in the AFC this year.
so your saying long might not deserve it but hes still the best in the AFC?

Last year I thought he played real well
This year he has not been as consistent or dominant IMO. I thought he had a better year last year. But I don’t think I have seen a better left tackle in the AFC either, maybe Clady from Denver, but I didn’t watch that many of their games.
I guess I am sitting on the fence with Long. While I don’t think he played as well this year as last, I also don’t know if anyone played any better at his position this year. Does that make any sense?
Well at least we got Jake Long in there

Yeah, it's kinda sad that Lousaka and Ricky were overlooked, but no one else really has played to that level this season

I guess you can go perfect on 3rd and 1 AND 4th and 1 situations and still not be good enough to get in the Pro Bowl

And thank God his first and last name aren't the same word like coaches of the past.
It's honestly only because he didnt get as many carries as McClain. Otherwise, his numbers were better.

This should be expected
It is one big popularity contest, as with most things people just do what they are told. Whom ever commentators talk about the most is who the average fan votes for. Every year a whole bunch of top quality ballers get screwed. It is sad to see it happen to Starks and Lou, those guys are beasts and play how it should be played. Congrats to Jake, hopefully we will see his Michigan teamate behind him in a few years. Now lets kick some Steeler ass.
it's just a name game.
Brady shouldn’t be there, and quite a few others shouldn’t
