Maybe it is a little early, but who do you think makes it to Hawaii this year?

From the two teams I watch most, the Patriots and Ravens, I'd say Asante Samuel and Adalius Thomas would be the first two I'd mention.

I never care.
Agreed. I cannot bring myself to watch the pro bowl.

I am in agreement with redlegs and DC. I never watch the Pro Bowl myself, has to be one of the most boring games ever. I do, however, love watching the contests before the game; strongest man, fastest man, etc. Those are cool to watch.
I might catch a little of it, but I won't wtach the entire thing. It's by far the most rewarding of all the all-star games, who wouldn't want a week in Hawaii, but it's also the least interesting. More players seem to drop out of the game than any other, and you're left with the fourth or fifth best QB in the conference trying not to fumble. It's like watching a preseason game.

Exactly, and given the time of the season that it's played everyone has either been resting for weeks (read: in off season mode) or those in the Super Bowl have put all of their efforts into something far more important.

I never watch, but seeing who goes is usually fun, and a better indicator of success than it is in other leagues (MLB, NBA).

I see a trend...
BTW, Suggs is a DE, not LB. So switch over to a 4-3, ditch Schobel, and add in Kelly Gregg (or somebody else who you feel is more deserving).

Suggs has been being utilized as a linebacker all season long. Even the Baltimore Raven's NFL Web site makes this fairly clear in its depth chart:

So I'll be staying with a 4-3 and keeping Schobel, who leads the NFL in sacks this season. Someone from Buffalo has to make it.

The Ravens use a base 4-3 defense, with Scott and Thomas as the OLBs, and Lewis inside. At least that's what I've seen, and I watch the games pretty much every Sunday.

Usually Pro Bowl teams are loaded with players from the previous year's conference champions. I don't think it's going to be that way at all this year.
Pittsburgh might land Willie Parker and maybe Joey Porter.
Seattle might land Darrell Jackson and R. Tobeck, W. Jones and J. Peterson.
Unless the voters have long memories, this could be a strange Pro Bowl.
