Ah yeah my bad; meant Gus Frerotte (A season seems like so long ago...).

McBride wasn't horrible in that Week 7 Minnesota game;

Corey Graham was in on pass coverage for just 29 plays in that game and yet got thrown at 10 times.

McBride came in against Bernard Berrian (Who was having a good night) and covered well for the majority of the game. He allowed some big gains when the camera was on him but generally played well allowing only 3 catches in 42 drop backs and managed to get an INT. Add onto that generally positive support in run coverage and McBride had a decent game.

Yeah I agree that Graham is good against the run but his numbers are skewed by the amount of tackles he makes in the pass game, also a good cover corner will tend to get priority over a primarily run stopping one. Neither are superstars and perhaps McBride shouldn't be rated as high based on limited action but I imagine coverage ability influences CB OVR moreso than run recognition.

But having one bad game means having a lower overall then any corner on the packers?

Did you ignore what I posted before about Graham allowing 70% of his passes in over half of his games? This wasn't out of character for him.

And honestly I'm just telling you why his overall is low and not why it is lower than the rival teams CB's.

Kampman a 98 awareness? Sorry, but thats a joke, Donny. He's playing a new position.

To be fair, Kampman is extremely aware that he is playing a new position.

(yeah, I'm going to drop him down in that category when the game comes out)

[jimmyy201]

since other ppl named problems with there fav. teams i think im going to also...

- QB Brett Basanez not on the roster

- WR Brandon Rideau not on the roster

- TE Michael Gaines not on the roster

- RT Frank Omyale is most likely gonna start at LG and if he does LG Josh Beekman will be the backup center

- LT Chris Williams will most likely be the starting RT

- LE Isreal Idonije is actually a DT

- MLB Hunter Hillenmeyer is a LOLB

- LOLB Marcus Freeman is a ROLB

- OLB Pisa Tinosimioa(spelling?) is not on the roster

- FS Daniel Manning has been the bears Nickelback for awhile now he should be a CB on the game

- CB Corey Graham and SS Craig Steltz are competeing for the starting FS spot. Graham should atleast be a FS

Is there a place to find the ratings for the full rosters?

I honestly don't see why Madden doesn't just group LT's and RT's into OT's, OT's switch sides all the time and their success usually depends on their footwork rather than intelligence (E.g Some RT's can't make the switch to LT because of poor footwork and pass blocking technique as apposed to not knowing what to do. There shouldn't be a penalty for OT's switching sides but rather their stats should dictate how suited to the role they are).

It should just be OT's, OG's, C's, DE's, LB's, S's and DT's.

A couple of observations:

-It's a travesty that Percy Harvin comes into the league and is better than James Jones, Jordy Nelson, and a slew of other people. The rookie ratings apparently did not suffer the same "stretching" that everyone else has, and it makes rookie ratings seem even more inflated.

-Chester Taylor, at 78, is incredibly underrated. He'd be a starter on half of the teams in this league. I think he's right around Ryan Grant in terms of talent, yet Grant fared 7 points better with an 85.
