Posted November 24th, 2008 at 1:54 pm

With it being a holiday week the roster update for Madden 09 is set to be out tomorrow, Tuesday November 25th. This is the 13th update of the season and given the shorter period of time to put it together it isn’t quite as extensive as the previous ones. However there are a few notable changes such as the rating drop for Donovan McNabb , increase for Tyler Thigpen. and Felix Jones moving to IR. I’m still waiting on the significant boosts that Anquan Boldin and Matt Cassel deserve.

Continue on for the full details of all the changes including transactions, ratings up/down, injuries, and contract extension.

Transactions
CB Simeon Castille – Signs with Bengals
LB Marcus Buggs – Released to FA IR
TE Nate Jackson – Released to FA IR
S Josh Barrett – Added to FA
S Roderick Rogers – Signs with Broncos
TE Chad Mustard – Signs with Broncos
HB Noah Herron – Added to FA
LB Curtis Gatewood – Added to FA
LB Rob Ninkovich – Released by Dolphins
LB Erik Walden – Signs with Dolphins
WR Eric Weems – Added to FA
S Stuart Schweigert – Signs with Lions
TE Tyson DeVree – Added to FA
T Chad Slaughter – Added to FA
DE Brandon Miller – Signs with Seahawks
DE Jesse Nading – Signs with Texans
LB Kevis Coley – Signs with Texans
CB Eric King – Released to FA IR
CB Reynaldo Hill – Released to FA IR
CB Tyrone Poole – Signs with Titans
CB Tuff Harris – Signs with Titans
DE Earl Cochran – Released to FA IR
S C.C. Brown – Released to FA IR

Ratings Up
QB Tyler Thigpen – Chiefs – 75 to 78 – Has displayed good arm strength in the Kansas City spread offense. The top fantasy QB over the last month heading into week 12.
HB Michael Turner – Falcons – 89 to 90 – Topped the 1,000 yard mark in a monster 4 TD game vs. the Panthers in a big division win.
CB Corey Webster – Giants – 87 to 88 – While Ross was committing penalties and struggling Webster was playing solid man coverage. Webster is playing at a very high level this season.
DT Kris Jenkins – Jets – 94 to 95 – Has made the biggest difference of any free agent acquisition on the defensive end. The Jets rank #3 against the run and Jenkins has thrived as the nose in the Jets 3-4.
CB Chris Johnson – Raiders – 70 to 74 – Was picked on starting opposite Asomugha and played well vs. Denver. The Raiders pass defense is shaping into the strength of the team.
LB James Farrior – Steelers – 92 to 94 – Has not slipped a bit in his 12th season. The Steeler D is as good as ever and Farrior is having one of his best seasons.

Ratings Down
DE Elvis Dumervil – Broncos – 89 to 87 – Has 3 sacks this season when Denver needs a pass rush. No sacks in the last 4 games.
QB Donovan McNabb – Eagles – 93 to 91 – The uncertainty at the WR position sure hasn’t helped but his completion percentage is under 60% and he has been tailing off in prior weeks. Is still by far the best option they have and is still a top QB.
HB Fred Taylor – Jaguars – 94 to 93 – Disappointing season but the skills are still there. Big losses on the offensive line have hurt Taylor’s ability to run. His 3.6 YPC and no rushing TD’s are way down this year.
QB David Garrard – Jaguars – 92 to 91 – The Jags didn’t have 9 TD’s/8 INT’s and a 4-7 record when they signed Garrard to an extension. To his defense the Jags have underperformed at about every position.

Injuries
CB Johnathan Joseph – Bengals – IR
WR Buster Davis – Chargers – IR
HB Felix Jones – Cowboys – IR

Contracts
WR Greg Camarillo – Dolphins – 4 years total

I REALLY THINK RONDE BARBER'S SPEED SHOULD BE INCREASED….HE RAN STRIDE FOR STRIDE WITH CALVIN JOHNSON MOST OF THE GAME….IN DENVER HE RAN STRIDE FOR STRIDE WITH EDDIE ROYAL AND YALL GOT HIM AS A 88..HE'S A FORMER TRACK STAR FOR CRYING OUT LOUD WHERE'S THE JUSTICE FOR THE BUCS

who cares

Do you guys not even realize that these ratings have absolutely no bearing as to what happens on the field. Get over it and don't sweat it if your team didn't get what you think they did or did not deserve. They don't matter

The Bears had one good half. That does not equal any rating boosts. Only three points in the second half against the terrible Rams? Equally as terrible.

FalconFL

I'm going to keep saying it until it happens. CURTIS LOFTON. Falcons.

Rookie middle linebacker, comes out in nickel packages. Still is 2nd to Mayo in tackles and has a sack and forced fumble. If you're going to bump Mayo, Lofton should get love.

I think personally they need to revamp speed in generally. Devin Hester gets caught down sometimes by crappy, slow CBs O.o

This was a small quick update they did not have time to get that game in. I'm sure they will next week.

PastaPadre is there any way to see a graph of a players progression?

Basically each week a player can go up or down

Ex. McNabb went from wk 1 93 to wk 13 91 OVR

Think it would be cool to see who developed and who declined especially rookies

Daunting task but quite informative overall

there are lots of runningbacks who have shitty offensive lines.. LT isn't any different. and if he's really the best in the league he should have at least respectable numbers bc their offensive line is not THAT bad. there are far worse.
rashad

there overall team rating is a 91 stop crying and get a life!

Raiders Chris Johnson is playing at a VERY HIGH level.

It's surprising since he is 29 years old and a career backup but he is MUCH better than DeAngelo Hall. Denver's Cutler went after him 14 times and he completed 4 passes for about 30 yards, and he had a interception return for TD too, but referees called it back. He makes Oakland a much better team than D-Hall did.

He is better than Stanford Routt and Justin Miller in real life, so he should be better in Madden too. He should be the second best corner in Oakland after Asomugha.

TE ZACH MILLER is on pace for +700 yards and is the best receiver in Oakland.

He had a better season last year and this year than Greg Olsen but still he is worse in Madden. Plus he is a very good blocker, and the TE that played most snaps for his team in 2007 (99.9%).

EA has NEVER ever rated up Miller, and he is 83 overall. He is the best ofensive player in Raiders roster.

So you'd rather be no update? What about the people that want at least the majority of injuries added for online play for this upcoming week?
