It's hard to believe with the numbers he's posted through the years he has never made a pro-bowl. I'm going to vote for him and hopefully this will be the year for him. IMO there's not many players in the league more deserving than London.

Is it just me or has he been kinda quiet lately?

He has been quite of late.

That is why it falls on us the fans, Redskins nation can do it. we had the most players in the league in first place for their position last year.

Was thinking the same. He had just one or two tackles last game, which seems almost unheard of for London.

This also explains I think why our run defense has been lagging. Haven't heard anything about London being nicked up so I wonder if he's truly slowing down w/ age :(

Going into the season I had this fear that this was year Fletch would just drop in production due to age...but I'm not sure that's necessarily the case right now. It was commonly thought that a strong DL would benefit the linebackers (namely Fletch) but I wonder if the DL is just so good that few opportunities are getting past them and to the linebackers. Thereby lowering the stats for guys like Fletch

I don't think Fletch get's in this year. He's been solid, no doubt. But how many tackles has he made behind the line of scrimmage, fumbles recovered, interceptions, sacks? He's a great tackler, but in my opinion, he hasn't been that much of difference maker this year.

Here's what's funny, I wouldn't be surprised if D.Hall made it, along with Carter and Orakpo of course.

Sadly, he has slowed down, at least statistically from that blazing start that would have guaranteed a Pro Bowl.

He's still one of the better LBs in the NFL, but his tackles have diminished lately.

Weekly tackle totals: 18,9,16,9,7,6,6,4,2

Still on pace for 136 tackles if he can regain his first-half form.



Still going to vote for him, he's been cheated out of it his whole career.

It would certainly reducle the number of tackles guys like Fletcher get, but it should INCREASE their opportunities for turnovers and big plays, shouldn't it?

I believe this could be the case, the sacks have steadily increased as the season has progressed...meaning the ball carriers aren't even getting into London's territory.
