Pro Bowl alternates

Quarterback Jeff Garcia, receiver Joey Galloway and fullback B.J. Askew are on the alternates list for the 2008 Pro Bowl. Should any players selected at their positions drop out, those three are among the next in line.

But still no one from the league’s top-ranked scoring defense.

"We know we have great players within this lockerroom, and we know we have players who are very deserving of that recognition," Garcia said. "But we’re about the team and I think that’s where this team is so solid and so great. It’s not about individual recognition; it’s about the team accomplishments. We have one focus on our mind, and that’s getting to Arizona somehow, some way, as a team. It’s unfortunate some of the guys weren’t recognized for their great play this year, but that’s just how it’s been for this team throughout the season, somewhat unrecognized in what we have been able to achieve. But that’s okay with us. It’s fuel that ignites the fire. We feel we have a lot to prove and we’re more concerned with what’s going to take place this weekend in San Francisco than what’s taking place in February in Hawaii."
