No, I'm saying like they were up like a couple weeks ago. I think like two weeks ago i was bored and i wrote down all of the Steelers ratings on a peice of paper. Then two days ago they took them down because they weren't suppose to be up until today. Now they are up.

Oh sheet, didn't even notice that, lol.

Just in case they decide to take them down again.

 

[Aso]

lol...

 

[LopaKa]

dang i wish i saw that on espn before i made my update in the franchise. A lot easier to navigate that than the excel sheet....:doh:

Hmm. I don't like that Timmons is slower than Woodley and Harrison. He's their fastest linebacker. And Gay is only a 63? He played better than McFadden last year.

arent all the ratings specific to position though, he may still play fast.

i was just gonna say that thats probably why you would see some D linemen quicker than some recievers because ratings are specific to positions

The defending Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers are led by their #1 ranked defense and the leader of that unit is Madden NFL 10 cover athlete Troy Polamalu (99 OVR). Polamalu is a big time playmaker in the mold of Rod Woodson, making big time hits as well as spectacular interceptions. Joining him in the secondary are Steelers veterans DeShea Townsend (82 OVR) and Ike Taylor (86 OVR), as well as free safety Ryan Clark (83 OVR/90+ HIT POWER). The strength of the defense is at linebacker where Pittsburgh has the #1 unit in the NFL. The Steelers use a 3-4 defensive scheme which means that 4 LB's are on the field at all times. James Harrison (97 OVR) and LaMarr Woodley (88 OVR) rush the quarterback from the outside LB positions while James Farrior (95 OVR) and Lawrence Timmons (74 OVR) focus on stopping the run on the inside. The defensive front is built to stop the run (not rush the passer) and they do it very well. Nose Tackle Casey Hampton (91 OVR) is a wall and Aaron Smith (91 OVR) is one of the best run stopping ends in the NFL. Two-time Super Bowl Champion Ben Roethlisberger (93 OVR/97 THROW ON RUN) returns at QB and hopes WR Santonio Holmes (86 OVR) is ready to build on a tremendous playoff run. Dependable vets Hines Ward (89 OVR) and Heath Miller (88 OVR) are always there as a safety valve for Big Ben. Fast Willie Parker (86 OVR) and Rashard Mendenhall (72 OVR) are there to carry the Steelers ground game. The one weak spot for the Steelers again is the offensive line. Tackle Max Starks (83 OVR) and Center Justin Hartwig (86 OVR) are the only bright spots.

I'm sure Timmons plays fast, but he should be faster than Harrison and Woodley. Everyone in Steelers camp says he runs like a DB.

The Cleveland Browns offense comes into the 2009 season having not scored an offensive touchdown since week 11 of the 2008 season. So it's safe to say there are some weak spots that need to be addressed when you take the Browns over in franchise mode. It starts at QB where Brady Quinn (71 OVR) and Derek Anderson (70 OVR/95 THP) are in a fight for the starting position. The winner of this position battle will do a lot of handing off to Jamal Lewis (85 OVR/97 TRK/83 SPD) and throwing to Braylon Edwards (86 OVR/90SPD/99 JMP)... the one legitimate gamebreaker the Browns offense does posses. No more Kellen Winslow at TE (Robert Royal starting now) and Donte Stallworth is gone at WR (legal issues). One bright spot is the 11th ranked offensive line unit, with Pro Bowler Joe Thomas (97 OVR) and Eric Steinbach (93 OVR) dominating the left side of the line. First Round pick Alex Mack is someone to build around and/or trade for in franchise mode, he is a beast at center. On defense, DT Shaun Rogers (95 OVR/98 POWER MOVE) is a monster and you cannot run straight at this guy. Along with 3-4 defensive ends Kenyon Coleman (79 OVR) and Corey Williams (81 OVR), the Browns Defensive Line is the strength of the team right now as they have the 8th best DL unit in football. The secondary on the other hand is a pretty big weakness heading into 2009. The Browns have the 30th ranked Safety unit and the 23rd ranked CB unit in the NFL. Eric Wright (79 OVR) is the best CB and has a bright future. At middle linebacker, D'Qwell Jackson (86 OVR/97 TAK) is a tackling machine and will be counted on for an even bigger season after his 150+ tackle season last year. Joshua Cribbs (89 SPD/98 RETURN/94 ELUSIVE) is a weapon every time he touches the ball on special teams, try and kick away from him whenever possible.

I thought Ocho would be a little higher than 89...but his jump ...93!

 

[Aso]

I think their defense should be a little better. They were ranked 12th last year and really aren't that bad.

... I was bored. I think the Jets defense is the second best in Madden 10 just behind the Steelers. Oh and ratings from Pastapadre.com.
