Jason Witten and Demarcus Ware will be going to the pro bowl yet again in their very successful careers and they have really earned it.
Jason Witten after not doing much in his first two games of the season since he was still recovering from a Spleen injury, burst on to the scene and has had a career season. He has the record for most receptions in a season by a tight end with 1 game left. And is on pace for a 1,000 yard receiving season. He is not starting in the pro bowl but that could simply be because of his lack of the end zone. Tony Gonzalez who has less yards and receptions then Witten simply has more touchdowns there for more popularity. Witten is a for sure hall of fame player. Year after year he his Romo's go to guy, Romo can always count on him to get open and make plays for a first down.
Demarcus Ware is having yet another sack filled season, recording 11.5 sacks this season. This number may not look that amazing but he is still the leader to this defense. After Lee and Carter got hurt he has really had to step up his game to help fill in for them. Ware is one of the best pass rushers in the league, he has had this status for years, meaning that offensive lines game plan for him. They double cover him and Ware is still able to get to the Quarterback.
But 2 players from the Cowboys did not make the pro bowl but should have definitely been invited.
Dez Bryant has been left out of this years pro bowl. He can still be a reserve but he should have really been one of those top 4 receivers for the NFC. In the NFC Dez is 4th in receiving yards and second in touchdowns. And he even got 3 of those touchdowns with a broken finger that requires surgery. Dez has earned Romo's trust over the past few weeks, he is making plays and finding the end zone consistently. Dez should definitely be a reserve and be there at the next pro bowl.
Anthony Spencer is the other Cowboy who has been left out. Everybody knows how Ware is such a good pass rusher but many have thought that he is the only one on the Cowboys who could. Well ever since Spencer has come back from his injury he has been the main show for the Cowboys. Week after week he has been making plays, sacking the quarterback, and getting tackles for loss. He will be a sure pick for next years pro bowl.
