oldschooler Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 [size=6][b]Dalton, Atkins, Gresham headed Pro Bowl with Green[/b][/size] By GEOFF HOBSON Updated: 7:40 p.m. Tom Brady’s return to the Super Bowl means that Cincinnati's A.J. Green and Andy Dalton are set to become the first rookie wide receiver-quarterback combo from the same team in the history of the Pro Bowl next week in Hawaii. The club got the word Sunday night that not only is defensive tackle Geno Atkins going to join Dalton and Green, but so is Jermaine Gresham in becoming the Bengals' first Pro Bowl tight end since Rodney Holman in 1990 With Brady quarterbacking the Patriots into the Super Bowl via Sunday’s victory over the Ravens in Foxboro, Mass., Dalton got the nod to take his spot as the first alternate in next Sunday’s AFC-NFC All-Star game (7 p.m.-Cincinnati’s Channel 5) at Honolulu’s Aloha Stadium. Atkins became the first Bengals defensive lineman to make the game since nose tackle Tim Krumrie played in the game following the 1987 season. With New England’s Vince Wilfork going to Indianapolis with Brady, Atkins was next in line to take the spot next to Baltimore’s Haloti Ngata and Oakland’s Richard Seymour. Gresham, like Atkins a second-year player, caught 56 balls for six touchdowns in being named a third alternate. He takes the spot of New England's Rob Gronkowski as well as other unnamed alternates that can't go. Last month Green became the first Bengals rookie voted to the AFC team since wide receiver Cris Collinsworth 30 years ago when he broke Collinsworth’s club record with 1,057 yards in becoming the first rookie in five years with 1,000 receiving yards. Dalton becomes the first rookie quarterback to play in the Pro Bowl since Vince Young in 2006. Brady, a seven-time Pro Bowler, hasn’t played in Hawaii the since the week after he led the Pats to the second of his three Super Bowl rings against Carolina to cap the 2004 season. Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer played in the next two and his MVP performance following the 2006 game marked his last Pro Bowl appearance. http://www.bengals.com/news/article-1/Dalton-Atkins-Gresham-headed-Pro-Bowl-with-Green/b415fc59-1f85-4860-a996-a3afc562678e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschooler Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 [size=6][b]Fab Four to play Pro Bowl[/b][/size] By GEOFF HOBSON Updated: 10:45 p.m. Two weeks before Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton began one of the most remarkable rookie seasons in NFL history, he and wife Jordan got married in time to take a quick honeymoon to St. Lucia. But it turns out they have another coming just seven months later, courtesy of Tom Brady, Sterling Moore, and the rest of the Patriots that won Sunday’s AFC title game and opened up a spot in next week’s Pro Bowl for Dalton as the first alternate with New England headed to Indianapolis for the Super Bowl in two weeks and the AFC All-Stars ticketed to Hawaii for this Sunday’s Pro Bowl (7 p.m.-Cincinnati’s Channel 5) at Aloha Stadium. “Oh yeah. I was watching. No question,” Dalton admitted of his interest in the Ravens-Patriots game. “I was pulling for the Patriots. It’s a great thrill to grow up watching the Pro Bowl and then to get a chance to play in it. “I’ve got a good friend (Malcolm Williams) playing for the Patriots that I played with at TCU so I wanted to see him go to the Super Bowl. And, of course, it’d be nice to go to the Pro Bowl.” But even though Dalton is a newlywed, he’s the old man of the Bengals Hawaiian contingent at age 24, a redheaded exhibit of why the Bengals think the future is so bright. He heads the list of wide receiver A.J. Green, defensive tackle Geno Atkins and tight end Jermaine Gresham, all born in that magical Bengals season of 1988. “Those guys must be young,” Dalton said with a laugh. “It’s nice that four of us are going. It will be a good experience for us. I think it will help us. We’d rather be going to Indianapolis, but I guess this is not a bad place to be. I’ve never been to Hawaii. I’m looking forward to it.” Dalton may be married to Jordan, but he and Green have been wedded during a season Dalton became the first rookie quarterback in NFL history to start at least eight games and throw 20 touchdown passes and Green became the first rookie wide receiver voted to the Pro Bowl in eight years. Now, fittingly, they are the first rookie wide receiver-quarterback combo from the same team in the history of the Pro Bowl next week in Hawaii. “It makes sense,” Dalton said. “We’ve been linked together all year. We may as well be linked now.” Dalton joins perennial Pro Bowlers Philip Rivers of San Diego and Ben Roethlisberger of Pittsburgh at quarterback, but he’s not sure when he’ll get there because as of Sunday night he was still trying to make flight arrangements. He’s got time. The first practice isn’t until Wednesday and in vintage Dalton fashion there isn’t going to be anything fancy. The traveling party is going to be just two: he and Jordan. The last time the Bengals had as many as four players in the Pro Bowl was the 2005 season. Five players made it with right tackle Willie Anderson, kicker Shayne Graham, wide receiver Chad Ochocinco, cornerback Deltha O'Neal and quarterback Carson Palmer. With three of them going because of New England's 23-20 win over Baltimore in the AFC title game, at some point next week on the beach the Bengals Pro Bowlers can toast New England's Moore for ripping the ball out of the clutches of Ravens wide receiver Lee Evans in the end zone in Sunday's last minute in Foxboro, Mass. Atkins, Cincinnati's other first alternate, became the first Bengals defensive lineman to make the game since nose tackle Tim Krumrie played in the game following the 1987 season (Krumrie also made it in '88, but didn't play in the game because of his broken leg from Super Bowl XXIII). With New England’s Vince Wilfork going to Indianapolis with Brady, Atkins was next in line to take the spot next to Baltimore’s Haloti Ngata and Oakland’s Richard Seymour. Atkins led the Bengals in sacks (7.5) and tied for the NFL lead among interior linemen. He was the first tackle to lead the Bengals in sacks since 1996, when Dan Wilkinson led with 6.5. Atkins, a fourth-rounder out of Georgia, did in 32 games what his father didn't do as a very good safety in 143 games for the Saints and Dolphins and made a Pro Bowl. "He's going to be there. He feels good. He's happy I did it in my second year," Atkins said Sunday night. "It's my first time to Hawaii and I'm looking forward to that. It's great that four of us are going. It will be a good experience for us." Another second-year player, Gresham, caught 56 balls for six touchdowns in being named a third alternate. He takes the spot of New England's Rob Gronkowski and goes ahead of Gronkowski's teammate Aaron Hernandez and the injured Owen Daniels of Houston to become the first Bengals tight end to make it since Rodney Holman in 1990. Last month Green became the first Bengals rookie voted to the AFC team since wide receiver Cris Collinsworth 30 years ago when he broke Collinsworth’s club record with 1,057 yards in becoming the first NFL rookie in five years with 1,000 receiving yards. Dalton becomes the first rookie quarterback to play in the Pro Bowl since Vince Young in 2006. Brady, a seven-time Pro Bowler, hasn’t played in Hawaii since the week after he led the Pats to the second of his three Super Bowl rings against Carolina to cap the 2004 season. Palmer played in the next two and his MVP performance following the 2006 game marked his last Pro Bowl appearance. http://www.bengals.com/news/article-1/Fab-Four-to-play-Pro-Bowl/b415fc59-1f85-4860-a996-a3afc562678e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschooler Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 [size=6][b]Bengals' Dalton, Atkins, Gresham to Pro Bowl[/b][/size] January 22, 2012 FROM CINCINNATI BENGALS PUBLIC RELATIONS Three Bengals -- QB Andy Dalton, DT Geno Atkins and TE Jermaine Gresham -- have been added to the AFC squad for next Sunday's Pro Bowl, the NFL announced today. Dalton and Atkins were both first alternates in last month's voting, and Gresham was a third alternate. All three will replace New England players who were removed from the squad today when the Patriots won the AFC Championship and qualified for Super Bowl XLVI. Dalton will replace New England QB Tom Brady, Atkins will take the spot of Patriots DT Vince Wilfork, and Gresham will replace Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski. Two alternates voted ahead of Gresham are not available for the game, the league announced. The Bengals now have four players headed for the Pro Bowl, as WR A.J. Green was voted to the AFC team last month. The four players have a total of only six years' NFL experience, as Atkins and Gresham were second-year players in 2011 while Dalton and Green were rookies. Dalton and Green form the first rookie QB-WR duo from the same team ever to be in the Pro Bowl. The last time the Bengals had as many as four players in the Pro Bowl was the 2005 season. Five players made it in '05 -- OT Willie Anderson, K Shayne Grahan, WR Chad Ochocinco, CB Deltha O'Neal and QB Carson Palmer. Dalton is the first rookie QB to make the Pro Bowl since Vince Young of Tennessee in the 2006 season. A second-round draft choice from TCU, Dalton in 2011 led the Bengals to a playoff berth and became the first rookie QB in NFL history to start as many as eight wins and also throw 20 or more TD passes. Dalton also became the first NFL rookie to start every game of a 16-game regular season, much less start 16 and lead his team to the playoffs. Dalton's 20 TD passes were a Bengals rookie record, and in four of the nine victories he started, he led the team back from a fourth-quarter deficit. Dalton and A.J. Green are the first Bengals rookies to make the Pro Bowl since WR Cris Collinsworth in the 1981 season. Atkins is the first Bengals defensive lineman to make the Pro Bowl since NT Tim Krumrie in the 1988 season. Atkins led the Bengals in sacks (7.5) in the '11 regular season, and he tied for the NFL lead among interior linemen. He was the first interior lineman to lead the Bengals in sacks since 1996, when DT Dan Wilkinson led with 6.5. Atkins tied for the team lead in combined fumbles forced/recovered (four), and he had a fumble return for a touchdown. Gresham finished second on the Bengals in the regular season in receptions (56), and he was tied for second in touchdowns (six). He was third on the team in receiving yards (596). He is the first Bengals TE to make the Pro Bowl since the 1990 season, when Rodney Holman qualified. This year's Pro Bowl will be played in Honolulu, with kickoff next Sunday at 7 p.m. EST. The game will be televised by NBC. http://www.foxsportsohio.com/01/22/12/Bengals-Dalton-Atkins-Gresham-to-Pro-Bow/landing_bengals.html?blockID=651096&feedID=3665 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
