I don't know how they differentiate between OLB and DE. They have too many DEs to choose from so they need to call some OLBs I suppose.
Williams has been great recently. He is second in NFL in rushing yards, third in TDs and only 12GP. I think he belongs. Maybe you take Montgomery from Detroit over Swift if you want to contest the RBs. Swift has more yards but Montgomery more TDs so it's a toss up. Swift probably lost out on a handful of TDs because of tush push.
I don't think Hurts is having a better season than Stafford, but again maybe Goff from Detroit has an argument. Hurts is tough to gauge because he has really struggled in some big games but if you factor in his run ability and the tush push effect getting additional first downs and TDs maybe he does deserve it.
I was also thinking about Detroit having a really good running game, but I didn't know if either of their good backs had done enough.
I agree about the pass rushers. Those guys are all amongst the best players in the league, so they deserve the spots in that sense. It just goes against my instinct that the Pro Bowl team should resemble a real team and whether those guys are OLB or DE is about the scheme. Teams don't use two pass rushers at DE and then two more at OLB.

I think if any team got underrepresented it is the Lions and maybe the Bills but Bills have had so many injuries and Allen and Diggs haven't had great years.
Crazy the Bills can still get the 2 seed despite the up and down season. Ravens doing them no favours by sitting Lamar. They may need to win that game against Miami to get in.
