""It's like I don't know what else I could have done at that point," he said. "I don't know what else I could have done. Now, previous years, maybe you could have said he didn't have the popularity. Maybe he didn't get the fan vote. This year I was second in fan voting for NFC. It's like, what else did they want me to do? The popularity was there. You could say losing team, it didn't matter. I had the popularity.""
""I'm upset because there's only two individual things that you can get and it's Pro Bowl and All Pro," Sweat said. "And I got one taken away from me. I'm just flat out saying it was taken away from me -- and it ain't the first time.""
Josh Sweat expressed strong disappointment after being named a Pro Bowl alternate while missing a primary individual recognition. Sweat has matched his career high with 11.0 sacks and leads the NFL with a career-high 4.0 forced fumbles. Sweat credits a Cardinals scheme under Jonathan Gannon and defensive coordinator Nick Rallis that lets him move side to side and play free, contrasting with a more limited role in Philadelphia. Sweat was second in NFC fan voting, second-leading vote getter among NFC outside linebackers and fourth overall, and he believes popularity and production warranted full Pro Bowl selection.
