<img src="http://www.miamidolphinsbahamas.com/images/ricky_46td_panthers.jpg" border="1" align="left" hspace="5" vspace="5">Ricky already has 1,200 all-purpose yards and 12 TD's. He needs just 25 yards to have 1,000 rushing yards this season with three games to play. He has done this while sharing time with Ronnie Brown for more than half the season. He gained 108 yards on Sunday against the Jaguars even though they were zoning in on him all day. Shouldn't he be in the Pro Bowl?

It looks like there will only be one more spot available because the first two will most likely go to Chris Johnson and Maurice Jones-Drew.

The third spot will most likely be between Ricky, Thomas Jones of the Jets, and Cedric Benson of the Bengals. If Ricky has 100+ yards in the next three games, he will finish with about 1,300 yards and let's say 13 rushing touchdowns. Those are Pro Bowl worthy numbers.

There is one week left for fan voting, so go vote for all the Dolphins: http://www.nfl.com/probowl/ballot

Other Dolphins who could be Pro Bowlers:

- Jake Long seems to be a lock at LT
- There is talk that Randy Starks could make it in (at least as a reserve)
- Ted Ginn might make it in as the kick returner

Anyone else deserving?

You can't miss a field goal late in the season and make the pro bowl. I think Dan needs to have 3 clutch games here in order to pull that off.

Ricky has been good and I'd say his toughest competition is Thomas Jones, who even though we hate the Jets is having a super year.

Yeah, I totally forgot about him, he will be in the discussion definitely! May it come down to who makes the playoffs? Or wait, I think the voting is complete after week 16.

Ricky has been dropping the ball lately which is bringing up the "can he handle the long season as a starter" discussion. I agree with Fish about Polite though. He should be a pro-bowler.
