    Good, he deserves it. Its a shame that the Pro Bowl is a popularity contest since Rhodes has had a far better season than both Lynch and Polomalu.

    Is it just me are has Rhodes been slipping lately? He's still very solid but he's not playing like the star he was in the first 6-7 games of the season.

    It probably has to do with opponents wising up on Rhodes and realizing how the Jets like to use him in blitz packages. Against the Dolphins, he didn't manage to bring down McMichael, who scored the TD after breaking Rhodes' tackle, but other than that, he's been playing well. Besides, it's sorta unfair to expect a safety to be able to tackle a TE solo, anyway.

    Instead of getting sacks when he rushes the passer, he's been keyed on, but still, almost every time, he tips the QBs pass.... It's incredible how often it happens....

    He might not be making those big timeplays anymore, but he's still ridiculously productive.

    I remember alot of us were complaining on draft day when we traded up 4 slots to get him and gave up a 6th round pick to move up... :grin:

    Good deal, he deserves it.
     
  12. Teams are really avoiding his side of the field and he's being keyed on, on blitzes.

    He's essentially become a "shut down" safety.
