10 out of 10 Pro Bowl voters agree--the Seahawks have more talent on defense than on offense.
From 2002-2004, the Hawks didn't send a single defense-er to the Pro Bowl. In 2005, rookie linebacker Lofa Tatupu went. Last year, Julian Peterson joined him. But this year, fully 36.36% of the Hawks' starting defense are Pro Bowl starters, as Patrick Kerney and Marcus Trufant will travel to Hawaii as well.
We're happiest about Trufant, a Tacoma kid and Wazzu star who rebounded from a weak 2006--when he was known as "The Inconvenient Truf" at Seattlest HQ--and is now a Pro Bowler...and in his contract year, too. Now isn't that conveeeeenient. (Yes, that's a Church Lady reference. No, you're pathetic.)
On the offensive side, Walter Jones gets his eighth selection (can you say Hall of Fame?) and Matt Hasselbeck gets a well-deserved nod. Those two guys have basically been keeping the offense afloat.
Here's the full Pro Bowl roster.
