The first team consists of four Chiefs and four 49ers, three Raiders, two Eagles, two Vikings, two Cowboys, and two Jets. The Dolphins, Browns, Ravens, Bills, Broncos, Steelers, Packers, Commanders, and Patriots each had one participant on the first team.

That’s 16 teams represented on the All-Pro roster. Omitted were the Bengals, Titans, Jaguars, Texans, Colts, Chargers, Giants, Lions, Bears, Panthers, Buccaneers, Saints, Falcons, Rams, Seahawks, and Cardinals.

Pat and Trav got 50/50 first team votes, some raging idiot didn't vote for CJ who got 49/50.

Not bad.

Mahomes got 49/50 first team votes

Is there a more overrated player in the NFL than Patrick "Toast" Surtain?

Townsend made All-Pro? :eek:

Bolton snubbed.

Huh? Bolton is nice and all but he's still a massive liability in coverage.

Townsend is a really really good punter.

Ok, who's the homo who didn't vote for him?

Also Creed got snubbed and should have been 1st team. He was the top rated C on PFF, but he was also number one according to ESPN. He had a 98% pass block win rate which was #1 and was #2 in run block win rate with 76%. Kelce was 3rd in both categories.

Which clown didn't vote for Mahomes and for who?

Idk who it was, but they voted for Jalen Hurts.

Apparently five players received 49 votes or more. Those players were:

Travis Kelce
Patrick Mahomes II
Chris Jones

and a couple of guys from the other 31 teams (Justin Jefferson and Nick Bosa).

My oh my, how far we've come.

The Russian judge

Tiger

Wow, I was told that Tommy sucked. I'm not ready to admit CP may be wrong.

I guess I've only cussed him a few times this season. He has put up some monsterous bombs.

Do they still do an all Rookie team? Wonder how we fair on that list.

I believe so, yes.

Would imagine McDuffie is a lock for first team, George might have a shot but definitely at least second team for him. Pacheco, Williams, Watson and Cook all on the radar.

i don't even dislike Kelce but Creed is by far the best center in the league

Doubtful.

Sauce, Woolen and Jones all had better seasons. McDuffie missed too much time.

Who the hell is that?

The one poster on here who would suck Alex Smith's dick more than Elizabeth Smith.

He's the best C by ESPN blocking metrics and also by PFF metrics.

Yeah, it's strange to say that a team with an offense like ours has an elite punter, but Townsend is ****ing GOOD.

AJ Cole is the only guy in the AFC who might be as good as Townsend is. Maybe Hekker out of the NFC? or Michael Dickson?

But yeah, Townsend absolutely deserved the All Pro nod, even if Colquitt thinks he's a shitty holder.

Yeah, that's a career achievement award.

Humphrey is the best in football.

No he isn't.

It's not a strength and he's not Lavonte David out there. But guys like Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah are 'coverage backers' who aren't better than Bolton in coverage. Kenneth Murray was supposed to be a stud in coverage and he's...fine. He's essentially Bolton.

CJ Mosley is a liability in coverage. Shaq Thompson is a liability in coverage. Yamin Davis, Devin Lloyd, Jordyn Brooks - those guys are liabilities in coverage.

Bolton's just average at it.

give it up for Tommy!

the rest are to be expected

Yea, but Jason is as funny as **** on the New Heights podcasts and the writers are going to be drawn to that...

How did Townsend make the team?

The Chiefs were 3rd in the league with fewest punts. Typically, All-Pro punters come from crappy teams that punt frequently.

Because the only guy with a stronger argument and really high volume would've probably been Ryan Stonehouse.

And hey, I wouldn't have complained loudly if he got it. Dude averaged 53 yards/punt over ninety punts. So yeah, that kid has a friggen cannon of a leg. And a 44 yard net is nice as well.

But he only put 32 inside the 20 (about 1/3 of his punts) vs. 24 of 53 for Townsend. He also had 9 TBs and only generated 11 fair catches (Townsend got 16 on far fewer punts). So part of that distance came from simply drilling them flat and that's why his net was about a yard worse than Townsends. For all the distance he got, his hangtime was ass. He's kindof a one trick pony.

So when you have Townsend, who had a longer longest punt than Stonehouse had AND showed far better touch and accuracy with his kicking, you simply have a more versatile punter.
