Golden Nuggets: NaVorro Back To The Pro Bowl

It was no surprise that NaVorro Bowman made the Pro Bowl, 1 year back from injury. He is tied in total tackles at 136 for the season. He has mostly had an up and down season. Some games it looks like he has trouble with some of the lateral movements, other games he's all over the field making plays. It's very encouraging for the future that NaVorro is able to play and play relatively well. Every game that he plays and stays healthy will give him confidence in his knee.

Joe Staley was also selected. This is his 5th straight Pro Bowl appearance. Reputation may have helped Staley reach the Pro Bowl. He was having a down year compared to his normally high standards. His QBs have been sacked 49 times and the offense is the bottom ranked and lowest scoring in the NFL. Obviously, most of the problems have been on the right side of the line, but Joe hasn't been without blame.

On Sunday, the Niners take on Detroit in the last road game of the season before they finish off the season at Levi's. With rumors swirling that Jim Tomsula is safe for another year, the last 2 weeks are important for draft position. The team currently sits 6th. The team has many needs to address in the offseason, but quarterback is by far the biggest. With Jared Goff potentially available in the draft, the team has some major decisions coming up to set the franchise back in the right direction.
