It's that time of the year again, when the NFL sets players up to either be praised or snubbed.

Pro Bowl voting for this season is now underway, and there's a long list of Dallas Cowboys' personnel present and accounted for, despite the team struggling with an overall record of 4-5 through their first nine games. While the roster as a whole hasn't consistently put the winning pieces together, a demerit more attributable to coaching than any purported lack of talent, there are still more than a few individuals who have been playing better than you'd suspect. Inside of that tally are those who take the field weekly with their hair on fire, continually attempting to lead the team out of the doldrums of mediocrity.

Although they should be locks to get in, there will inevitably be a snub -- or several -- and there's also still time for players who are showing recent progress to sneak into the conversation. Such things are far from exclusive to the Cowboys, but made infinitely more interesting when it's tied to a struggling Dallas team, as we work to figure out just how many pro bowlers they'll field -- or if they'll field any at all.

They would rather be playing in the Super Bowl, after all.

The Cowboys had a disappointing 9-7 finish to 2017 and saw only four players named to Orlando, but have now rattled off four-straight wins to climb from a dismal 3-5 to a 7-5 record and a shot at landing the No. 3 seat in the NFC. There are many who are responsible for this turnaround, and some who are being given more credit than they've earned this year, and with pro bowl voting now in full swing -- let's take a look at who deserves a nod, who doesn't and who will likely be snubbed.
