I can’t really remember ever sitting down and watching a whole Pro-Bowl game but this year might be the one. Five Seahawks are heading to the Pro Bowl this year and I can’t wait to see them out on the field performing with some of the best players in the game.
Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor, and Brandon Browner will all be there and I would guess they will all be on the field at the same time for at least some of the game. That is 3 out of 4 starters in the secondary for the Seahawks and Richard Sherman was playing at a Pro Bowl level the last half of the season. This should be the best secondary in the game next year. All 4 guys can cover, all 4 guys can hit, all 4 guys can play the run, and all 4 guys can make plays in the backfield.
And in the backfield we will see Michael Robinson and Marshawn Lynch. You know nobody in the Pro Bowl will really want to try and tackle Lynch so I am expecting to see Beast Mode in full effect. Let’s see Michael Robinson lead through the hole and plant James Harrison into the Hawaii sunset while Lynch abuses Polamalu, Ryan Clark, and anyone else who tries to tackle him. The Skittles should be flying in Hawaii on Sunday.
Also Darren Rovell has been tweeting out some of the gear players will be wearing tomorrow. He sent a link to a gallery of the Nike Pro Bowl Vapor Jet Gloves many of the players will have on and I gotta say they are pretty awesome. Here are the Seahawks gloves:
Love the gloves Nike made for the Seahawks in the Pro Bowl
Nike will be taking over all the jerseys, uniforms, and sideline apparel from Reebok come April and while I don’t expect them to go all Oregon Ducks on us I do think there will be quite a few teams that will get some pretty awesome uniform upgrades. Nike has stated that this year they don’t expect any major changes for any team and they mostly want to get more advanced fabrics into the uniforms but I do think a few teams will see some tweaks this year.
I really do like the Seahawks uniforms as they currently are but seeing that they are the closest team to Nike headquarters I kind of expect to see them as the poster child for what Nike can do. If the league allows I can see the Seahawks having some of the best uniforms in the game.
