2012 NFL Pro Bowl Fan Vote Update: Michael Oher Leading Offensive Tackles

by Josh Kirkendall on Nov 16, 2011 4:52 PM EST

The NFL released an update on the 2012 Pro Bowl votes, which will conclude on Monday, December 19 following the conclusion of Monday Night Football between the Pittsburgh Steelers and San Francisco 49ers). teams will be announced Tuesday, December 27 on the channel most of America still doesn't have (NFL Network).

One issue that stood out isn't just Cincinnati's absense leading a vote at any particular position, it's that the one particular position that we'd have issue with right now is occupied by Baltimore's right tackle Michael Oher, who according to Pro Football Focus, has allowed three quarterback sacks, three quarterback hits and 24 quarterback pressures. Comparatively speaking Andrew Whitworth has allowed only one sack, two quarterback hits and nine pressures.

Here are the results so far:

I guess they’ll have to make a movie about big whit for him to get votes because him being one of if not the most elite tackle in the nfl isn’t helping his case none

The story of a guy who was born big, grew up big, and is still big. We couldn’t find any other interesting thing: The Andrew Whitworth Story

RE:

The Andrew Whitworth Story is currently in its sixth season and you can find it most days on CBS at 1pm. :) (yes, basically the same thing I said on Twitter)
