As the players continue to file onto the buses – coach Jim Zorn has a front-row seat in bus No. 1 – a few notes to wrap up the week here:

The Redskins are currently dominating the Pro Bowl balloting with their “Vote the Redskins Ticket” campaign. Even punter Ryan Plackemeier, who has been with the team for just over a month, is one of 20 Redskins leading in the balloting at his position.

Fans shouldn’t get too excited about the prospect of the AFC vs. the Redskins in Hawaii — fan balloting only counts as one-third of the final vote, with coaches and players each getting a third of the vote as well.

“I think in the end, the players vote and the coaches vote are going to decide that stuff,” linebacker London Fletcher said. “But it’s great for the ones who deserve to play the game.”

Antwaan Randle El was “a little ginger,” but is expected to play Sunday. “He’s going to fake me out,” Zorn said. “He’s just going to tell me he’s ready.”

Tight end Chris Cooley produced a short video with Comcast SportsNet about him playing every position on the field. Check it out on his blog.
