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

no, but there's a difference, when brady plays, the patriots win, and how good are the bengals with palmer? not any better. and palmer isn't out for the rest of the season either, and brady is

getPOOPEDon

he should be that high if he went to another team, like the vikings or the lions where he won't lose his starting job when their starter is healed. they wouldn't do that on madden cuz if he was still on the pats, he wouldn't play cuz he'd b behind brady. i say an 86 or 87, then boost him when he proves himself 100%

El Tato

TE ZACH MILLER – Alredy 550 receiving yards in Oakland. No other player has more than 200 rec yards, in a rushing offense.

He is better than Greg Olsen, but he is worse in Madden.

Isn't that cute. You named yourself after me. Lets watch some of Willis' lowlights shall we?

http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d80cf432…

This is thye first video I looked at and already have perfect material to prove you wrong. "teams plan their run around him.. run away from him…" Really? Look at the first play he is shown in. It starts at 1:00. They run a dive play right at him and he stands right in the hole (showing horrible technique by not keeping his feet moving and not playing downhill). He just sits there waiting for the tackle, as he does on nearly every play run or PA pass. You never see him in pass coverage. NEVER! Why? Because he can't read an offense and uses his above average athletisism (which is much lower than his 91 speed 88 strength he has in madden) to run sideline to sideline racking up tackles. Running around him plays to his few strengths. As you can see in the video he is a complete non factor on the play which is run directly at him. If you look closely he is actually about to be pancaked right when the screen cuts him out. Lol don't kid yourself. He is far from the best and, being a bears fan, I know the best.
