Dave's PS3 Online Power Rankings (Aug. 17 edition)

[dave]

If I learn to stop throwing so many pick 6s will I be able to lose the "win padding", whipping boy label?

Possibly. But I'm going to need to see serious improvement in your W-L before I take you out of the doghouse.

There's no excuse losing with an elite team like Tennessee. Other than at WR, that team is loaded.

[Rohtang]

Trust me, I am thinking about that. Their running backs are fast and I suspect both DSA and Zeus throw a lot of short passes to those backs, who are tough to stop this year.

nope..i dont throw a lot of balls to those back..Thats not real football when the back has over 5 rec in a game...Mcfadden is fast but fumble prone. DSA ...The man is a beast... u dont have to worry about him throwing in the flats...u worry about the middle of the field....ya digg....

[Rohtang]

I figured Zeus out after our 1st game, thats how i beat him in our tourney game.

Trust me...you did..lol....i was sleepy as hell....ill be on tonite... we will run...

I haven't played DSA in years, so to be honest, I don't know how he plays anymore.
I just remember him being a lot better on the sticks defensively than anyone I ever remembered ... and being absolutely mistake-proof on offence.

I have never played you Zeus, so I am not judging your game.

Lol...i know Dave...ur kool!!! I was just saying... DSA defensive presence is sick... You and I will play soon...oakland is fast but there ball skills are horrible. I cant tell you how many times Ive fumble on big time hits...U have to learn how to play with them.

I played DSA a few days ago and he was methodical. He made 0 mistakes on offense, was capable of driving 12 plays or more every possession for the score. Didn't try to many big plays but still had a few long gainers for TD's due to broken tackles. Defense was also good but you have to score every possession just to be in the game against him.

well someone is open on every offensive down. the issue is that many people who play madden always look for a big play down field all the time, when really you should be going to who ever you see open 1st. if you can get out of a big play attitude and to who ever is open there would be alot less errors.

and your offense is dictated by the second level of the defense and what they are doing, people are always watching the line, when you should be watching what the LB's and corners are doing. (ill stop talking ill give away too many of my secrets)

lmao coming from the Eagles fan who are loaded at every position and they are 100x better at qb than TN

I'm neither in the top 10 or on the cusp...

To qualify for next week's power rankings, you must have 8 games played.
7 or under don't count.

In two weeks, that number jumps to 12 games played.

There's no point having power ratings if no one is playing.

Nice work on these Dave

[Boss AZ]

Good thread Dave.

Sounds like I need to play you :ko:

[OnlyOneBeerLeft]

I've definately stepped it up to try and climb the rankings this week. Two big wins over Deejay and Steeljake as long as i dont choke down the stretch I'm hoping I can move up a lil bit.

[krulmichael]

Psssh...I'm not even on the notable list. 5-4 with the Lions, yet Chargersfan with a 4-3 record prob playing with the Bolts? Really? Hehe, I honestly don't mind. I feel like I'm hitting my stride now, I'll be in that top 5 soon enough.

Sidenizzle - Now this is more like it Dave, nice thread.
