If voting closed today, Nov. 19, 2008, 20 Redskins would be in the Pro Bowl.

 

ASHBURN, Va. -- If the Pro Bowl voting were to end right now, 20 Washington Redskins would be on their way to Hawaii.

Fans have responded in droves to an aggressive get-out-the-vote campaign conducted by one of the most market-savvy teams in the NFL. They've put virtually everyone in the lineup -- even those who haven't played much or have played well below Pro Bowl caliber -- ahead of the pack in the NFC.

The Redskins' campaign has been so effective that the NFL felt the need to raise the issue in an e-mail sent last week to the digital media departments of all 32 teams by George Scott, the league's general manager, club sites, at NFL Digital Media.

The e-mail says this would be a great weekend to promote Pro Bowl voting to fans.

Samuels will not go if he is still injured. Cooley isn't having that great of a year, i love my home team and all, but vote for the best players people! None of our offensive line should go anywhere except to practice! Oh, and if Santana has a couple more 100 yard games and a few touchdowns, he'll be in Hawaii too. Tell Joe Gibb ... MORE >
  • The Danny Thursday, Nov 20 at 12:27 AM FLAG COMMENT You're an idiot. Portis is not only a pro bowler but in the MVP discussion. London Fletcher, Chris Samuels, Chris Cooley and Chris Horton are all worthy of Pro Bowl votes.
  • Daniel Snyder Wednesday, Nov 19 at 8:01 PM FLAG COMMENT This is pure grade A nuts. There isn't a pro bowler on this team.
