Sportstalk:
Are you suprised to see who is hosting the Steelers in the Pro Bowl? Well, you shouldn't be. Let's break down each player's season up to this point:
As the Steelers’ 1998 number-one draft pick, Alan Faneca has established himself as arguably the best guard in the NFL. He played in all 14 games so far this season at his left guard position. Faneca’s outstanding blocking has helped the running game improve from 31st in the league in 2003 to third in the NFL in 2004. This will be his fourth consecutive Pro Bowl appearance.
Hines Ward is producing another outstanding season and is on the verge of surpassing 1,000 receiving yards for the fourth consecutive year, becoming the first receiver in Steelers history to achieve that distinction. After 14 games, Ward has a team-high 75 catches for 972 yards and four TDs.
Joey Porter has rebounded from his 2003 season in which he had to recover from a gunshot wound received a week before the season to earn his second Pro Bowl selection. He currently has 58 total tackles (41 solos) and is second on the team with seven sacks.
James Farrior is having the finest season of his eight-year career. He leads the Steelers with 108 tackles (72 solo), five forced fumbles and three recovered fumbles. He has a career-high four interceptions this season, tying him for the most by a linebacker in the NFL, including one that he returned for a touchdown in Week 11 at Cincinnati — which was also his first career touchdown. He also has recorded four sacks this season. This will be his first Pro Bowl appearance, but it will not be his last.
Jeff Hartings, who has been named a first alternate four times in the past five years, earns his first trip to Honolulu. He has been an important part of the Steelers offensive line that has helped revitalize the team’s running game from 31st in the league in 2003 to third so far this year.
In his first year as a starter, Troy Polamalu, the 2003 number-one draft pick, has emerged as one of the top safeties in the NFL. He leads all Steelers and is tied for fourth in the AFC with five interceptions, and ranks third on the team with 91 tackles (62 solo). Polamalu returned an interception for a touchdown in Week 4 against Cincinnati. This will be his first Pro Bowl appearance.
We wish all six of our Steelers good luck in Honolulu!
