Madden 09: Cornerback Ratings

June 13, 2008 9:08 pm - Author: Shanker Srinivasan

 

 

Madden 09: Cornerbacks

We have no doubt that this will be one of the most popular of the ratings released. Good corners can lock down large areas of the field, force turnovers, or at the very least stay in position for you to manually make the play.

Assuming Lito stays put, Philadelphia will have a nickel back with a 91 rating. For franchise players this may be great trade bait but the online crowd may need to find a way to keep all three corners on the field on every play. Another team with an absolutely scary secondary is the Oakland Raiders. Asomugha and Hall may represent the premier tandem in the league now.

Many rookies will make an immediate impact in Madden 09. All boast great speed and acceleration ratings. At the very least, the depth of speed at this position should make it easy for anyone to find a quality return man.

Expect some difficulties passing this year...

Check back in over the next week and a half as SportsGamer will be breaking down ratings for every position culminating with the release of the full Madden playbooks. Also be sure to stop by our forums and share your opinions on the defensive tackle ratings or leave us specific requests and we'll try to get the answers!

Justin King 72 Ovr, 97 Speed
Posted by: Linkfish on June 13, 2008, 9:25 pm
Woodson should be a 94, he is the best CB on that team.
Posted by: KrazyJvilleD on June 13, 2008, 9:26 pm
I thought i liked these ratings... that was until i noticed there are 23 SHUTDOWN CORNERS NOW IN THE NFL......... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA WOW... guys like kelly jennings and fred smoot are shutdown... ellis hobbs is 1 point away from shutdown... dear god ea has lost its mind
Posted by: patsfan4eva on June 13, 2008, 9:26 pm

99 Man Coverage for Scrabble =0
Posted by: cowboyssb3 on June 13, 2008, 10:05 pm
One question??where is pacman jones??
more than likely he weill be reinstated.....or if he is will they add him to the game???
Posted by: DreZilla03 on June 13, 2008, 10:40 pm
Terrence Mcgee better than Al aka Predator and C-Wood. This must be a joke.
Posted by: Tommy_Trojan25 on June 13, 2008, 10:50 pm
As long as Nnamdi is given 99 man coverage and is a "smart" and "press" corner than I am generally okay with the ratings. So, not too man complaints here.

Yet again, the Dallas is overrated. Newman deserves his ratings no doubt, but Henry should represent a liability in that secondary, which he is and has been. But instead they make him one of the best #2 corners in the game when he should have no better than an 80-82 rating, if that. That team's weakest area on the field is their secondary and EA gave them an awesome corner tandem, which is ridiculous. While I think Jenkins wil be awesome, they can not justify gibing a late first round corner with average NFL athleticism an 82 overall and very good coverage skills across the board. Why are his coverage skills far and away superior to those of Leodis McKelvin's? Either base the ratings off of their actual skills or base them off of their draft slotting, but don't play favorites. Since when do the Redskins have one of the best base nickle defenses in the NFL with two "shutdown corners?" Their corners are average at best and they do not have a single corner worthy of a "shutdown" label. You can argue Rogers as a "press corner" but neither Springs nor Smoot should be higher than an 84 overall at this point. Kelly Jennings is slightly-above-average starting corner, not even close to being "shutdown."

Upon further review, these ratings are ridiculous.....

There are only 7 "shutdown corners" in the NFL today.

Nnamdi Asomugha
Champ Bailey
Rashean Mathis
Terence Newman
Marcus Trufant
Al Harris
Charles Woodson

Chris McAlister, DeAngelo Hall, Quentin Jammer, Charles Tillman, and Leigh Bodden are other corners who have legitimate arguments to be on the list. But no one, other than these 13 players should even be MENTIONED when talking about "shutdown corners."
Posted by: Tommy_Trojan25 on June 13, 2008, 10:53 pm
*12 players
Posted by: HenRoc81 on June 13, 2008, 11:10 pm
The speed on these guys is all wrong. It seems like EA just perceives certain guys as fast and others as not so fast. This is the one rating that they should be able to nail almost every time. Just about every player has a recorded 40 time. Perfect example. Chris Houston speed of 96. His real life 40 time was 4.33 sec.

Eric Wright has a speed rating of 92. His real 40 time was 4.36 How does .03sec relate to 4 points of ratings?

Then there is Deangelo Hall. Speed of 98. his 40 time is off the charts at 4.15 sec. But Fabian Washington has a speed rating of 98 as well, but his real 40 time was 4.25 sec. That’s a full 10th of a second and he has the same speed rating. I just do not get it.
Posted by: KrazyJvilleD on June 13, 2008, 11:23 pm
Tommy trojan, we both agree here for once... this is an absolute joke... shutdown corners are a very rare thing, but madden seems to think every team has one almost... this is such a joke, i was happy at first seing my team's ratings, then started seeing how inflated every team's corners are, and im like wtf... such BS..
Posted by: Mavrick29 on June 13, 2008, 11:27 pm
Cortland Finnegan hated on yet again my boy gets cheated out some serious speed.In week nine Finny is the reason Steve Smith(Panthers) goes 3/10 for 15 yards once again titans hated on.BTW his last recorded 40 time was a 4.31. come on it should look something like this 95spd 97Acc 81Tak and 91Mcv. Oh and his press game is up there too!
Posted by: goodwinb51 on June 13, 2008, 11:49 pm
They should put pacman jones in the game this year because theres no doubt that he will be reinstated by the start of the season and i bet that he would be rated between 85 and 90 ovr.
Posted by: Rush23 on June 13, 2008, 11:59 pm
Tommy Trojan you should post more on the forums, I haven't seen you o there.
Posted by: -904-Falconfish on June 14, 2008, 12:44 am
Rashean Mathis #1!!!! Why are their so many shutdown corners in madden?
Posted by: Raider21Magic12 on June 14, 2008, 1:11 am
Oaklands Speed and Accel are crazy. I hope some of the younger guys develop.
Posted by: cowboyscowboys on June 14, 2008, 4:31 am
Leodis Mckelvin is known for his crap ball skills they should have made his catch mid 60's so they could have added more to his mcv,zcv etc. it's like they almost rated Jenkins as Mckelvin and Mckelvin as Jenkins

Terence Newman should have his catch dropped from 79 to 74 and his prc raised from 85 to 88. Terence Newman is definately one of the best in the game though.

I can't believe ppl aren't angry about Champ dropping a couple spd lol
Posted by: titans1591 on June 14, 2008, 5:19 am
Nooooooooo wayy look at the chargers cornerbacks they are by far better!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: MaKyredlineMa on June 14, 2008, 6:13 am
Will people just quit about al harris and woodson they got burnt in the playoffs bad, there ratings are correct.
Posted by: 09_king on June 14, 2008, 6:29 am
Cromartie should be at least 96 ovr
Posted by: PhillyxFan on June 14, 2008, 6:39 am
EAGLES CB'S!!!!!!!
Posted by: ValorGideon on June 14, 2008, 7:30 am
I have to say philly oakland, chargers, green bay, then a ty between dallas and denver (because of the depth at corner back in dallas. at least in that order.
Posted by: Chef880 on June 14, 2008, 7:39 am
Are they serious? After the season Leon Hall had for the Bengals, His stats didn't move at all. He was on the short list for rookie of the year and he's an "80" still. I'm guessing they just forgot to do the bengals. Joseph and Hall should both be at least 85's.
Posted by: Chef880 on June 14, 2008, 8:04 am
Ken Lucas an '88'?! Are you kidding me?!?!
Posted by: DameonFromCincy on June 14, 2008, 8:04 am
How is dre' bly a 89 he got exposed last year in the AFC he should be a 85 and im not commented on terrence mcgee, because it most be a joke........
Posted by: 54Bruschi54 on June 14, 2008, 8:38 am
Pats secondary looking mediorcre. need not worry, wheatley will be a STAR!
Posted by: 09_king on June 14, 2008, 8:43 am

Posted by: cardinalredbird on June 14, 2008, 9:19 am
How do you find if they are shutdown corners
Posted by: Chef880 on June 14, 2008, 10:21 am
Pacman hasn't been activated yet by the nfl, DUH
Posted by: inevitable29 on June 14, 2008, 10:34 am
Asomugha isn't even dat good..he should be more like 90-93 because he plays in a division with not very good receivers at at..da best receivers are TE's like gonzalez n gates..n he don't cover them..plus da afc west division are a division with running backs n the raiders can't stop da run which is y asomugha barely gets test..y should teams throw when they can jus pound da ball against dat weak n overrated RAIDERS defense..if he was in da afc north division he'll get torch all da by those teams..there u go RAIDERS fans..believe it cuz it's da truth
Posted by: texanfan90 on June 14, 2008, 10:51 am
Come on dunta gotta at least be a 90....if it wasnt for that injury he probally would have been
Posted by: texanfan90 on June 14, 2008, 11:04 am
Theirs a alot of rookies rated a litlle high.... Antwaun Molden should be a 75...73 is to low
Posted by: C-Boys_4L on June 14, 2008, 11:55 am
They BETTER have PACMAN JONES in the game!!! and he better be in the 90's
Posted by: DieHardBronco on June 14, 2008, 12:03 pm
Ya bitches, Champ is STILL #1
Posted by: DieHardBronco on June 14, 2008, 12:08 pm
WAIT WTF, Champ 94 man and zone thats BULLSHIT,
and 56 tackling??? everyone knows champ is a fucking beast at tackling and they give him 56 while Mathis gets 60, thats a joke
Posted by: KrazyJvilleD on June 14, 2008, 12:09 pm
Bengals cb's got beat deep more than any other cb's in the game, thats why their they didnt go up nor should they... if i hear one more cowboy fan claim pacman is a 90 rating i swear to god, some of u are so pathetically stupid its not even right... dude wasnt even a 90 TWO FREAKING YEARS AGO, why is he going to be now... shut ur mouths u stupid bums
Posted by: LIL_SKIP_24 on June 14, 2008, 12:10 pm
Champ will be back this year, hopefully he is 100%
Eagles CBs are over-rated, Tons of ppl are over-rated, most obvious the eagles CBs Sheppard and Brown they should be 90 and 88 respecativly.
Posted by: LIL_SKIP_24 on June 14, 2008, 12:11 pm
Yeah i agree with you diehardbronco fan, its prolly cuz we watch all the games that we actually notice how good Champ is in run support. He should be a 70 for sure, but Blys should be like 25.
Posted by: DieHardBronco on June 14, 2008, 12:12 pm
Wow, after taking a real look at the ratings Champ got Shafted, his tackling should be higher than Asante and Namdi's, his M coverage should not be 94, EA is fucking INSANE to give Terrence Newman a 97 and Champ a 94???
EA should be burned to the ground
Posted by: DieHardBronco on June 14, 2008, 1:00 pm
Wow, why dont EA just give the brick wall defender icon to Marlin Jackson(Sarcastic), i mean they gave him a 86 tackling but Champ gets Shafted by getting a 56?, hope they fix that
Posted by: Tommy_Trojan25 on June 14, 2008, 1:05 pm
Champ definitely deserves a tackle rating in the high 60s to low 70s but Nnamdi deserves a tackle rating in the high 70s to low 80s, he is he best tackling corner outside of winfield who does not play in a base Cover-2
Posted by: keeganbrick on June 14, 2008, 2:08 pm
If you are going to complain about Champ not being able to tackle dont pick out Marlin Jackson and say he is overrated in that area....dudehas always been a good tackler eve when he was at scUM.
Posted by: PoundTheRock on June 14, 2008, 3:02 pm
In Response to comments made about marlin jackson;

Had he been a bit bigger he couldve played linebacker and even as a safety he is top of line at bring the ball carrier down.



As for the ratings in general, all I can tell is that,

1.Nnamdi deserves his 99 MCV.
2.If stanford Routt or Twon Branch develop, The raiders will have an a top 5 secondary
3.Mike Jenkins a 89 MCV?? Sure hes the best MCV rookie CB but, 89 is higher than like 7 of the top 40 CB's.
4.Ashton Youboty is better than a 71, I've seen him play in person and he's better than jabari greer, stats might not show it because he's only in on subs or distance plays but he should be around a 75 or 76.


And no don't think i'm a fan of the Raiders,Dallas or Buffalo.. I'm a miami fan and for me to complement 2 teams we play once(Raiders) and twice (Buffalo) shows that i'm not favoriting my own team.
Posted by: BigBadDice_22 on June 14, 2008, 3:12 pm
Revis should be higher.
Posted by: cowboyscowboys on June 14, 2008, 4:33 pm
Anybody saying Pacman should be a 90 isn't a Cowboy fan they are Band Wagon fans who change their teams like their clothes everyday lol.
Pacman IMO deserves 84 and if he plays like he did before his suspension then you can upgrade him.
Posted by: CowboysABeast on June 14, 2008, 8:29 pm
PacMan Jones is going to play this year so were is his rating
Posted by: tecook7 on June 14, 2008, 9:24 pm
Jereme Perry - not well known but runs a 4.3 forty. He was only given an 89 speed rating. Doesn't seem like too much thought was put into backups (but then again, there never is).
Posted by: inevitable29 on June 15, 2008, 9:25 am
Champ is obviously da most consistent n best CB in da nfl..asomughu is 99 mcv..please..dat is bull..he can't be better at covering receiver than champ..raiders players seem to be hella overated just because they were once coach by john madden..they aint all dat becuz if they was then they wouldn't be da bottom feeders in there division for hella years after da old guyz like gannon..brown..n rice left da team..n pacman jones at least 90 overall?..man dat dude can't cover at all..notice he made plays only against da texans n jacksonville..i dont see him doin dat against da colts..he's overated just like da raiders n cowboyz DB's
Posted by: Chosen0ne23 on June 16, 2008, 7:51 am
Eric Wright is so underrated.

Wow. Philly's worst corner could start in Atlanta!
Posted by: Chef880 on June 16, 2008, 3:36 pm
"Bengals cb's got beat deep more than any other cb's in the game, thats why their they didnt go up nor should they..."

That's not a true statement. They didn't lead the league getting beat deep. Joseph and Hall combined for 9 Int's and the tandem LED THE LEAGUE in passes defensed. The bengals's problem was shotty safety play, broken coverages, and no pass rush. That CB tandem will be one of the best for years.
Posted by: dmacfan4life on June 17, 2008, 12:00 pm
Raiders cbs r da best
Posted by: Daviddbusiness on June 17, 2008, 1:27 pm
I really hope that the Dolphins do something about their CBs. The difference between 1-15 and 15-1 (the playoffs) is DEFENSE and we need to bulk up these category!
Posted by: cowboys30 on June 18, 2008, 1:03 am
Ok im a huge cowboys fan and i will admit that

but i need to critic yall alittle bit....
1.Anthony Henery was leading the nfl in interceptions untill he was sidlined with a high ankle sprain for over 4 weeks.
2.Jaques Reeves was the secondary liability for the cowboys along with roy williams.(not to mention when henery was in Terence Newman was sidlined at the start of the season.
3.They should definitly have Pacman in the game he already has partial reinstatement. And if he stays clean he will have full reinstatement at the first of the season.
4. Pacman hasnt played in a year so no way he can be a 90 but i would put him mid 80s tho.
Posted by: northphilly87 on June 18, 2008, 10:13 am
I hope they show safeties
Posted by: northphilly87 on June 18, 2008, 10:19 am
They continue to overrate the cowgirls ! why do they wait until terrence newman turns 30 to give him a 97 in speed,if i recall correctly he got ran down pretty bad by lee evans from like 20 yards away last year even though they're both fast. on top of that they make his man coverage go up and take nate clements down..lol nate doesn't have demarcus ware and grege ellis to rush the quarterback and take pressure off of him like newman does
Posted by: DieHardBronco on June 18, 2008, 12:11 pm
Have they done safties yet?

Posted by: SamGriebs on June 18, 2008, 12:29 pm
Colts had the #1 or #2 pass defense in the NFL last year but their corner ratings don't show it at all, their safeties (Sanders & Bethea) better be monsters to make up for it
Posted by: BigBoi17 on June 18, 2008, 3:41 pm
Ummmmmmm Im waiting on the safties.....
Posted by: GrandKing28 on June 18, 2008, 7:22 pm
I have a question off topics but does anybody notice that Cb reacted to the ball in the air way better and faster then the actually Wr? try throwing a 12 yrd curve and you will see both the Cb and the Wr turn around when the ball is in the air but the Wr Stands there and actually runs to the ball in real life hell in high school they tell us don't wait for the ball go get it im wondering will they still have that in 09 cuz if they do madden still sucks
Posted by: alfred_18 on June 19, 2008, 2:12 am
Champ Bailey's speed should be faster he ran a 4.28 in the 40-yard dash. He speed should at least be back at 98 or 99. He is the best CB in the NFL. 6 more INT's to break Deion Sanders INT's. Champ Bailey is way better than anyone.
Posted by: giantcowboy on June 19, 2008, 2:22 am
Everyone get off the eagles nuts lito sheppard is gone before the season starts. Stop complaining about the shutdown corners because if you have been paying attention to the other ratings you could have seen it coming. I think the concept now when it comes to making madden is to make everyone happy and keep the teams as close as they possible can. Whether its having better corners, lb's, safetys or d line. Fuck it updates will eventually come and all of us we ll still have fun playing madden like we always had.

Posted by: ThizzUbz on June 19, 2008, 4:10 pm

Posted by: goodwinb51 on June 19, 2008, 6:11 pm
NorthPhilly87 is a idiot the cowboys aren't overated they are loaded at every position by the way how many times has the bills been to the super bowl 4 times and they lost all 4 of them and 2 came from the cowboys.
Posted by: usaaaaaa on June 19, 2008, 11:23 pm
Packers cornerbacks are overrated.
Posted by: cowboys30 on June 20, 2008, 10:25 am
Man the people that think the raiders have a better chance than the cowboys to get to the superbowl are dead wrong. Raiders wont even make the playoffs.
Posted by: TonyBlush on June 21, 2008, 10:02 am
Dam Thats ridicoulous with all these dam shutdown corners this year.. lol and another thing, Asomougha is a good corner, but 99 Man Coverage, get real, and Champ Bailey got worst in all his ratings, wtf Ea, went from speep 98 to speed 96, man coverage 100 to 94!!??, zone cvg from 99 to 94.. i kno he didnt have a great year, but still he has too much respect for his ratings to be this low... like i said.. too many overrated corners this year!!
Posted by: DieHardBronco on June 22, 2008, 5:23 pm
Damn i dont understand why Champs tackling is so low, he is one of the best tackling CB's in the NFL

Anyone who says pack's cbs are overrated...gimme some stats to back up your claim
Posted by: Dcooksey on June 23, 2008, 2:57 pm
Based off what we saw from Pacman before he was suspended,he should be at least a 90 overall. b/c he was the best corner in the game , but since he was out for a year 90 would be good. He is doing great at training camp and is in great shape. He has been training with Primetime ,so he hasnt lose much. At least 97 speed,99 agility and acc, 92 man coverage & zone coverage,prs. At least 78 catching.90 tackle and 86 hit power.
Posted by: Dcooksey on June 23, 2008, 3:05 pm
O yea how does Cromartie have 11 or 12 picks but champ has 3 but he is still the best. He had a off year,but just weird to me. Note had 1 or two in the pro bowl.
Posted by: starken on June 23, 2008, 6:55 pm
Help me figure this...Tampa was the number one pass defense in the league last year. Whose stats are these???? Ratings and real-world stats are opposite now? Steelers got shafted too. Number 1 defense...lol
Posted by: StillersPete on June 23, 2008, 7:43 pm
The steelers do have the number one defense in the league in 2007
Posted by: sg_PacManfan21 on June 24, 2008, 5:25 am
Wheres PacMan Jones
Posted by: StillersPete on June 24, 2008, 7:19 am
Cromartie should be better, when he has another break out season, his rating will go through the roof. don't be suprised if you see cromartie with that 99 rating pretty soon.
Posted by: goodwinb51 on June 24, 2008, 7:48 pm
If this years madden puts pacman on the cowboys i think that they would be as good as the eagles on pass defense

terence newman
anthony henry
pacman jones
mike jenkins
Posted by: goodwinb51 on June 24, 2008, 7:57 pm
Any one who says cowboys are overrated are dumb because their RECORD was 13-3 and Anthony henry is not overrated he lead the league in interceptions dumb asses green bay packer corner backs are not overrated either Al Harris is on of the best and Charles Woodsen yous to be one of the best but he is still a good corner
Posted by: jwzy13 on June 25, 2008, 9:24 am
Adam jones aint on it. is it safe to say he wont be in the game then. thats a shame if he aint
Posted by: jwzy13 on June 25, 2008, 9:30 am
Antonio cromartie is a beast. way better than jammer
Posted by: jymsteeler on June 26, 2008, 10:00 am
Madden 09 they messed it up one to many time ,the Steelers had the one defense all year and once again they sell us out. my corner r not shutdown corners i know that , so show them some love madden please, but my defense on a whole is by far the best in the game ,Lamar Woodley nobody knows , he had 6 sack off the bench . your FS Ryan Clark was our mvp for the first part of the season until he go hurt , James Harrison first year starter replacing #55 was a beast with over 6 force turnover , with a first year coach . on the other hand the cow girls are rated off the charts , a cant win a playoff game , with no major player missing . This is John Madden hating the steelers for all the super bowls we won .
Posted by: jymsteeler on June 26, 2008, 10:23 am
I've been a big madden fan , but each year madden goes out they way to make the steelers a average team , mendenhall runs a faster 40 time then the cow girls rookie and they make the cow girls faster , how , Holmes had a breakout year , and what madden do , make him average . terry glen played 2 games all year , drop his ratings , roy williams is a bumb , he should be a 74 or something , zak thomas is as good as ray lewis . stop the crap please, he hasnt played all year ! bradie james average at best maybe a 79 rating, demarcus is a beast ok i will give them that , but terrance newman is not a beast , please stop that. Big Ben rush for more yard than tony romo , give Ben some speed please , madden made sure he fix our o line , it the worst in the nfl according to madden . madden do whats right dont rate player because u like them rate them because of there on the field play

You cant have 13-3 record in the nfl and get kicked out of the playoff every year . And what so bad is the cow girl fan believe this slop, that madden does, We play the nfc east this year and we're going to sweep them like we did 4 year ago. madden needs to get this right for once please , When the steeler won the big game i dont remember getting this much love , like the cow girls get .not even after our 15-1 season . we're going to be right there this year again, second year for our coach , his feet are wet now, look out. MADDEN GET IT RIGHT PLEASE .

And why should brady james be a 79 rating if he lead the cowboys in tackles for the last 2 years and how do you know that the people who made the player ratings like the cowboys you dont they rated the cowboys a good team because they had a good season and roy williams is a good player just go look at his stats
Posted by: goodwinb51 on June 26, 2008, 11:08 am
Terry bradshaw is a cheater he used steroids just watch espn some time so really they should take his rings from his ugly ass
Posted by: MB-III_Cowboys on June 26, 2008, 3:47 pm
I wish they would go ahead and give pacman jones his rating...cause it WILL be high 90's by midseason or so
Posted by: goodwinb51 on June 26, 2008, 7:16 pm
The pittsburgh fags have gay ass fans and sucky ass defensive backs jymsteeler is a hater his steelers got knocked out in the first round and they had a 10-6 record and they could barley beat the dolphins and cowboys killed the dolphins your team fuckin sucks and steelers aint got shit on terence newman hopefully the cowboys and steelers go to the super bowl against each other and the cowboys will beat there ass
Posted by: jymsteeler on June 27, 2008, 12:16 pm
We will see, now wont we, i must have hit a nerve with the cow girls, dont worry , we well see Da girls this year , by the way, let keep it football please and with fact only . Steeler was the number 1 defense, and Ben had a higher pass rating than Roma, Roy is overated, that whole defense is overated, check the stats, we give up less first downs, less yards, less tds, less pass yards, less running yards, Bens threw less td than then tony 4, less ints than Tony 8, and had less Atts. The cow girls offense is better i never said anything about that. its just your defense, no way close . Plus you play in the nfc , who over there good, tell me thats please, name the ten best teams in the nfl, seven are from the afc. its just giants superbowls champs and cow girls over there of course four more teams have to be added , but dont know who. i know the top teams in that afc, and you do too.
Posted by: jymsteeler on June 27, 2008, 12:31 pm
Dont worry about terry, he got his four rings, can Tony win a playoff game, please!!!!!!!! i tell you what, if he dont go to the superbowl this year, Jerry will be looking for a new qb, and head coach, mark my words, Jerry cant take a loser, and so far, Roma is a loser!!!!!!!! thats why Bill left, he knew that he couldnt win with Tony Roma. thats the bottom line.
Posted by: jymsteeler on June 27, 2008, 12:49 pm
I love T.O. but if Tony dont get it done, he will flip out, he needs to win a playoff game, Ware is nice maybe the best in the nfl, Witten, and the o-line, Barber is good, let see if he can run over everybody as a starter, but everyone else, average at best . we had three coaches in your history in my lifetime, never had a season like 1-15 or 5-11, and we dont buy up the best player in the nfl, free agents we groom our players, we make them better than when we first get them, that why u dont know who on my team, but i study mine and your team, i study the whole nfl. thats why i know that the cow girls defense is overated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: jymsteeler on June 27, 2008, 1:03 pm
ROY WILLIAMS!!!!!!!!!! what a bumb!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if you go to the nfl.com and pull up last years season and go game by game with dallas you will see every td, that dallas give up , ROY and Bradie James was trailing the play, everytime, check it you will see it for yourself if funny. and then at the end of the year those two played in the pro-bowl !!!!! WOW it must be good to have a owner like Jerry Jones who can buy his so-called star-player a spot on the nfc pro-bowl team. WOW . Go check that go out.
Posted by: jymsteeler on June 27, 2008, 1:09 pm
And if your really what to see me, hit me up on madden 08 playstation 2 system, (nfl1967pitt) u can come see me whenever, and bring those cow girl please so i can chip them up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: goodwinb51 on June 28, 2008, 7:59 am
Dude when was the steelers 1 defense they could berly beat the dolphins they were 1# defense what 4 yrs ago just drop they cant beat the cowboys only one afc team beat the cowboys last year and the cowboys have beat the colts the same year he they went to the super bowl
Posted by: Ranjihn on June 28, 2008, 2:18 pm
They messed up everything!!! WORST MADDEN EVER! Looks like another year playing NFL 2K5

Why is nate clements 92 overall he should be at least 93
Posted by: polamalu043 on June 30, 2008, 11:32 pm
Woooooooo i aint no eagles fan but god dammmmm these cb's is gon be beastin. We all know Asante Samuel is raw along with Lito and Brown and then u throw Brian Dawkins at safety. I expect the eagles to be on top of the passing defense this year anything less is a expectation not met.
Posted by: polamalu043 on June 30, 2008, 11:34 pm
Champ Bailey is always the best corner he can cover anyone in the league and come out the game with great coverage.
Posted by: polamalu043 on June 30, 2008, 11:38 pm
Thatsss right steelers alll the way baby!!!! we are the #1 defense in the league and it gon stay like that. But Roy Williams is raw hes a beast at SS you know ur raw in the NFL when you get a rule made jus cusa you, the horsecollar tackle. But allll the same Steelers taking over aint nobody better!!!! STEEL CITY!!!
Posted by: baadbob2036 on July 1, 2008, 8:33 am
Philly has got the best shutdown corners in the league (and we're the only team on the game with 3 CBs with at least a 90 rating)
Posted by: xraidernationx on July 2, 2008, 12:57 pm
I am pleased with the raiders cb raitings but stanford routt should be a 85-88 he had just as many interceptions as sheldon brown last season wtf do ur research ea
Posted by: sf49ers2180 on July 5, 2008, 3:54 pm
Antonio cromartie should have about a 94 ovr rating he intercepted 10 passes last year, and 2 in the post season
Posted by: sf49ers2180 on July 5, 2008, 3:57 pm
I cant belive how the eagles have 3 CBs with ovr ratings over 90, dang, the 9ers need to do some things with there Defencelike pick up takeo spikes or other FA
Posted by: chargers619ed on July 8, 2008, 11:15 am
Antonio cromartie should be a 99
Posted by: zamora24 on July 9, 2008, 2:20 pm
Cowboys cb r the best
Posted by: letyergamespeak on July 11, 2008, 9:24 am
The only bad thing about philly is that they dont NEED 3 90+ CBs, they could be spending money elsewhere. Where they do NEED things. And kelvin hayden and marlin jackson need more love, they should be the hardest hitting CB's in the league. God im so glad we got rid of Nick Harper and Jason David, i apologize to the saints and titans, lol.
Posted by: ravensdefence1 on July 11, 2008, 4:20 pm
Nice ea did a good job on these no arguments here just think fabian washington should be an 80 but thats just me, and can you say shutdown for the eagles dayum if you all dont have the best pass defence next year, that would be sad
Posted by: darius_hord on July 12, 2008, 2:52 pm
Antonio Cromartie should be a 99. No doubt Chargers are the greatest!!!!
Posted by: bfab34 on July 23, 2008, 11:21 am
Most of these players are over rated! players have one good year and they rate them the best. hall has been consistent every year avg 5 picks n 60 tackles and yet hes not even n the top five. and asomugha is good but his stats dont come close to halls
Posted by: buff24 on July 24, 2008, 6:19 pm
The stats are good..im a raider fan so im gon talk bout my raiders corners..looking real good..i like where routt is..the reason people hate on asomugha cuz he dont get INTs..um 06 he had 8 and this year 1..okay he had 1 because no one wants 2 throw 2 his side..hes top 3 fo sho..HALL is still legit..people say hes overrated hes not..hes gon have a good year this year and madden online too for me lol...T.BRANCH is the future!!!!
Posted by: dawgpound21754 on July 25, 2008, 6:24 am
Brandon Mcdonald shut down andre jhonson last year you gave andre a 96 and McDonald only got a 82 he should be at least an 89.

and who is carlos rodgers?

leigh bodden played with one of the worst secondarys in the nfl last year and he is a 90 im a browns fan but i have to aadmit there secandary sucked last year
Posted by: dawgpound21754 on July 25, 2008, 7:46 am
Why isnt ellis hobbs a 99 all the other patriots are
Posted by: dawgpound21754 on July 25, 2008, 7:51 am
Where is pacman jones
Posted by: dawgpound21754 on July 25, 2008, 7:54 am
The browns signed an undrafted rookie why isnt he there
Posted by: detroitbowl09 on July 26, 2008, 2:31 pm
Yeeeea baby leigh bodden and brian kelly and a lil bit beefed up keith smith take us lions out of last in the league as far as worst secondary ! u know i kinda like these ratings the best out of all the positions so far that is. samuel i think is better and antonio cromartie is fuckin fantastic and should be even better
Posted by: xX_RaIdErS_Xx on July 27, 2008, 11:00 am
I am not arguing the fact that champ is the best but to me newman and asomugha are better man coverage coners...but champ is more balanced in zone and man coverage and dont forget 2 years newman wuz robbed out of a probowl spot bcuz he did not allow 1 TOUCHDOWN the whole SEASON!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: xX_RaIdErS_Xx on July 27, 2008, 11:06 am
And another thing when in the hell did chris Mcalister and charles woodson become because woodson was a 99 speed about 3-4 years ago and mcalister ran a 4.13 40 yard dash faster than deangelo hall champ bailey devin hester and randy moss and yet his speed is only on 93
Posted by: xraidernationx on July 27, 2008, 11:20 am
Eagles are going to be beast but their all going to be short...but i still think one of them are going to be traded

Champ's ratings r rediculous, how is his tackling so low 4 1, i mean hes one of the greatest raw tacklein cbs there is. Secondly how is his mcv not 99 how many td's did he give up this year? how many catches? People r sayin Hester got 100 speed and Brady got 100 awareness out of respect, well how bout showin respect 2 one of the greatest Corners ever.
Posted by: 121012 on July 29, 2008, 10:14 pm
Where is Pacman Jones 4 The Cowboys?
Posted by: emoneybk300 on August 4, 2008, 5:40 pm
Im very dissappointed with woodson being a 92.. he had the best year at cornerback last year.. he was mentioned as a defensive player of the year candidate.. i expected him and harris to be two of the higher cornerbacks.. woodson rated 15 at cornerback and hes clearly top 5 in the nfl..
