The roster update for Madden 10 may have been skipped last week but assurances have been made that there will be one out this week. Along with the first patch which is expected within the next few days and the AFL downloadable content coming on Thursday it will be an eventful week for Madden.

After the first few games one standout has been Jets CB Darrelle Revis who has shut down two of the best receivers in the league, Andre Johnson and Randy Moss, in consecutive weeks. His 91 overall should see an increase of at least five points. Drew Brees still seems destined for a 99 rating after now having tied the record for most TD passes after two games. Bengals DE Antwan Odom leads the league with seven sacks after racking up five in Sunday’s game against the Packers. Along with having given up four sacks to the Bears, the Packers have now allowed 10 sacks so a drop to their offensive line would be warranted. Mario Manningham appears to have stepped up to become the Giants #1 receiver and deserves a ratings increase to match.

Other transactions that will be made include Brian Urlacher, Jamal Williams, and Randy Thomas to the IR. The signings of free agents such as Jeff Garcia to the Eagles will also be reflected.

As with the ratings suggestions posting last week, leave your thoughts in the comments on what players are deserving of a boost or drop in their ratings based on early season performance.

    Colts
    Jerraud Powers has taken over the #2 corner spot and should be rated at least higher than Tim Jennings who is a 63 (Powers should at least be in the 67-72 range). He had a solid game 1 but missed the Miami game due to groin issues and Jennings got killed by Ginn.

    Pierre Garcon should be higher than a 65 also from that game winning TD catch he had his spd should be higher than the 87 he has. At least a 90 he ran away from the Dolphins 2ndary.

    Dallas Clark needs a rte run and spd boost.

    Donald Brown needs to have a higher spd and brk tak than Joe Addai.

    Playaction needs to actually work in this game vs. zone coverage so you can take advantage of Mannings 99 play act rating.

    Charlie Johnson needs a boost at LT. He played a brilliant game vs. Joey Peezy Porter and Jason Taylor. His 78 ovr is way too low he's atleast an 82 LT. His pass block footwork and run block strength need boosting.

    And get Roy Hall off the Colts. He was cut early in the preseason and is still on the roster.

    USA TODAY looks at five players who may be primed for breakthrough seasons:

    Quote:
    G JAHRI EVANS, NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

    • Background: Made steady climb after being fourth-round draft choice from Division II Bloomsburg State. Fell in draft because teams were concerned about his ability to handle higher a level of competition.

    • Breakthrough potential: Evans (6-4, 318), in fourth season, may be ready to secure elusive Pro Bowl berth, especially if high-powered Saints keep marching. Has it all, including rare agility for his size.

    • What they're saying: "I think Jahri is a guy that's going to play in a lot of Pro Bowls before his career is over." —Saints coach Sean Payton
    http://www.usatoday.com/sports/footb...harticle_N...

    Saints o-line is severely underrated and has been for quite some time. You aren't the #1 #3 #1 and current #1 offense 4 years running with a bad o-line. Thank you have a nice day
  • MIke
    Fred Jackson + a lot.
  • Tommy
    I think charles woodson needs to be at about 94-96, 11 tackles(4 for a loss) 2 pics and a td against the bengals. Grant down, Collins down, Most of the o-line down, but Driver needs to be bumped up a point or 2, hes very good but hes in the shadow of greg jennings
  • Slugz
    Micheal Oher and Jared Gaither should be in the low 90 high 80's. Fabian washington should be at least an 80. Ray Rice should be faster along with mcgahee.Both tavares gooden and antwan barnes is faster than boss bailey.Ed Reed should be a 94 speed cause he has more Int td's that troy polamalu is his career. Plus Qb's throw is rto troy's side more thatn they do Reed. Make reed zone coverage a 99.
  • Tom Dunleavy
    Darelle Revis - CB - New York Jets. He has been a shutdown corner on two of the leagues best WR's
    Geno Hayes - OLB - Tampa Bay Buccaneers - This guy has been everywhere, he deserves a tackling, pursuit, and speed rating boost
    Cadillac Williams - RB - Tampa Bay Buccaneers- The return of Caddy was a great one, he deserves a +1 speed boost and increases to trucking and acceleration
    Fred Jackson - RB - Buffalo Bills. He has been absolutely phenomenal replacing Marshawn Lynch. He should get a overall boost to 85 rating.
    Cedric Benson - RB - Cincinatti Bengals. He deserves a 83 rating after his hard fought gains the past two weeks.
    Chris Johnson- RB- Tennessee Titans. What can I say? He has been amazing.
    Byron Leftwich- QB - Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Awarness increase along with throw power
    Joe Flacco- QB- Baltimore Ravens. Increase in awarness and deep accuracy
    M. Manningham- WR - New York Giants. Deserves a ratings boost after Sunday Nights performance against the Cowboys
    Aqib Talib- CB- Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He has been playing very well against two really great receivers in Terrell Owens and Roy Williams. His awareness and man coverage ratings should be increased
    Elvis Dumervil- OLB- Denver Broncos. He should have an increase in acceleration, power moves, and finesse moves.
    Thomas Davis- OLB- Carolina Panthers. He has been absolutely everywhere, leading the league in tackles. Awarness, tackle, play recognition, and pursuit boosts.
  • JiMMz
    Why are so much guys on the game with Dreads that don't have dreads? Its ridiculous. A lot of the guys don't even have long hair at all. I don't understand it. You clearly see their Pictures and they have regular Short Cuts but they have them wearing dreads. C'mon EA get it together.
  • Bills increases:

    HB - F. Jackson - Needs a bretty substantial boost after his first 2 weeks filling in for the suspended Marshawn Lynch.

    QB - Trent Edwards - Currently the highest QB rating in the AFC, show him a tiny bit of love.

    O-line - The entire Bills offensive line has been outstanding, especcially concidering they have 3 players who havent started a game in the NFL until the monday night opener at New England.
  • random dude
    seconded
  • your boy frank
    dolphins run stop need a boost also the oline with the runnin game they are top five rushing team and top 10 run stop
  • when will it be Pasta?!
  • BucsFan
    i jus want to know can the Bucs LBs get a little boost com on now they r not dat sorry! and people claim the Bucs r so fast but y no body is fast on the team please do something!
  • Johnny Knox needs a boost 7 catches for 70 yds against the Steelers...c'mon.
  • B-Mart24
    4. Shawntae Spencer. 68 OVR. not good enough, he's stepped up as a drakhorse in the right CB spot. over tarrel brown and dre bly. plays excellent Man coverage, 72-75 OVR.

    5. Vernon davis. not boosting his OVR, but he is the fastest player on the roster, ask anyone, needs to show in the game. take down his CIT to make room for SPD, he's got alligator arms, but hes getting better.

    6. frank gore is a beast. his OVR is fine but he is hella fast, blew by the 'hawks secondary. lil love.

    Downgrades.

    1. David "gay ass" Bass. LG, weak as hell, p[layed better in week 2 but he needs a lil drop. snyder played bad week 1 but 2 was big improvment, maybe down a lil for him tooo.

    2. michael Craptree. take him offf the game. hate him, but if he signs, ill probally love him again, but untill then he sucks.

    3. Alex smith. 70 is way too good, should be the 3rd string, nate davis is really better at everything then him..
  • B-Mart24
    Bening a 49ers fan ill tell you who deserves upgrades on the team... no bias.
    1. Parys Haralson. Best pass rusher..8 sacks in 8 games last year and if u watch the 9er games he's alwayys pressuring the QB.

    2. Nate Clements. 84 OVR? really? 87 SPD if im not mistaken?. shutting down larry Fitz and TJ howsurdaddy is a good feat, also one of the best if not the best tackling corners in da league. watch week 2 vs 'Hawks.

    3. Shaun hill. im not saying make anything about his throwing better, maybe a lil Deep acuracy (see week 1 vs ARI 50 yd pass to Bruce.) but common, he is actual a playmaker on his feet. a lil bump in SPd would be great. also no INT's, AWR is a good idea for a boost also.

    Chargers:

    UPGRADES
    Darren Sproles (HB): Quickness to 99, catching raised, speed to 95 or 96, Returns to 95+.
    Philip Rivers (QB): Deep ball stats increased, OVR raised to 90+.
    Vincent Jackson (WR): Speed increase to 90-92, OVR raised to 87+.
    Antonio Gates (TE): Raised to 96-97 OVR, slight speed increase.
    Stephen Cooper (ILB): Raised to 82-85 OVR, tackling increased.
    Eric Weddle (S): Increase hit power (ask Johnnie Lee Higgins)!

    DOWNGRADES:
    O-Line run blocking across the board.
    Run stopping downgraded.
  • Alex
    Troy Smith accuracy needs to be SAC - 75 MAC - 79 DAC - 66, he is so bad now he throws like a high school QB, remember he was a Heisman winner and has not had a chance to prove hiself yet, at least make him like Matt Linert...... usable... Thanks EA
  • PFS
    Broncos D-line needs a boost, add Haggan and others, DOOMurvil, Goodman, Bucky, Stokley, Davis, and Orton all need boosts.
  • Joe
    Devin Hester could go up a couple, but most of all i think adrian peterson should be 99 overall he is a beast, also its been said that the fastest players on the bears are knox d.manning, and hester and they wouldnt say who is the fastest so knox and manning should get their speed to 96 at least. thanks.
  • Curt
    Players Needing a Boost-
    Frank Gore, Byron Leftwich (Back to Back 280 yd games), Johnny Knox, Mark Sanchez, Brees, John Carlson, Ronde Barber, Mike Bell, Micheal Bush, Kevin Kolb, Revis, Harvin

    Drops- Tom Brady (just a few points),Steve Slaton, Matt Lineart, Gaines Adams,

    Just the one I came up off the top of the head
  • xxanaxx
    KEVIN KOLB?

    He had an average looking stat line with such a small sample size while playing the Saints' mediocre D.
  • pat
    revis should be rated higher than any other corner besides asomhua.....perct harvin could def. use a liittle bump....frank gore too.......cutler idk yet cause he went froma HORRIBLE game to an impressive one..it all depends onthe next weeks to come
  • falcons
    I know this sounds really weird but I think that not a single saftey in the NFL should have more hitting power then certain linebackers. Like bob sanders has 97 hitting power when patrick willis only has 96 im sorry and rey lewis has only 95 im sorry but i think not a single saftey in the NFL should have over 88 hitting power and the only 3 players with 88 hitting power should be troy polamalu, roy williams and brian dawkins every other safter should have 85 hitting power or less. I am sorry but it is rediculus when you are turner or peterson and you get leveled by sanders it is not right. but other then that i say you guys just do what you do.
  • AnT
    I am fine with Jason Taylor being an 83 speed but no way should Ricky Williams be the same speed he needs a serious speed boost to 90-92. He still has the speed bursts and looks faster than Ronnie Brown
  • Justme
    Bills O-Line needs a huge bump (esp Bell - his awareness should stay low, but he's better than 50-60's he's at...)

    Scott (Bills SS) needs a bump, he's better than Wilson at least...

    Fred Jackson is second in the league in yards from scrimmage - isn't that worth more than a 77?
  • bryant
    Trent Edwards needs a bump to at least the low 80s
    Fred Jackson should be bumped to somewhere in the 80s.
    Same with Kyle Williams.

    Those 3 players are very underrated for Buffalo. A boost to the OL too.
  • texans
    andre johnson catching boost- nice 1 handed grab

    chris johnson titans-- juke should be 98 acc should be 99... none of our defensive players could ever take him down on fist contact either... always found away to create defenders to try and arm tackle the quick bastard
  • jets babayyy
    johnny knox= 83--- he showed alot of maturity agaisnt a great stealer defense
  • JiMMz
    83? You can not be serious. This is the same guy that let Al Harris cut in front of him to catch the game winning INT against the Packers. Who starts running a slant and stops halfway through the Route? He belongs at about 71 to 73.
  • 49&#039;ers
    CHRIS JOHNSON- yea the titans defense might me struggling right now but holy cow this duuude is fo real!

    FRANK GORE- obviously not just a power guy... he showed SOME break away speed
  • Sorry if it has already been said (I just tried to read page one but all those internet sissy fights made me skip the other pages) but are we sure the patch will be out this week? Can't wait to start my 49ers franchise.
  • luigi
    you are correct, there is a bunch of online gangsters in these post.
  • hypoluxa21
    marc bulger should be 99 because he is on the rams, steven jackson 99 because he is the best HB in the world and the keith null, the rams 3rd stringer should be 99, oh and tory holt and issac bruce should be a zero because they are not on the rams anymore. Jesus people, stop being so fuckin biased, i love the rams, but i know we suck, so stop asking for these ridiculous rating changes, a lot of these players still have a lot to prove. oh i almost forgot, jamarcus russell accuracy should be a 99, he completed 19 passes in 2 games, that is unheard of, he is on his way to the HOF, he is way better than brees guy.
  • Burgo
    Adrian Peterson should definately be a 99ovr, Favre has shown enough in his first 2 games to be higher than an 82 . Harvin to 79, E.J Henderson should be higher, Winfield needs some respect and Madieu Williams should be at least in the 80's and Greenway in the 90's. Maybe Phil Loadholt too, I hear he's been playing very well.
    VIKINGS FOR THE SUPERBOWL!!!!!!!!!
  • IBAILEY_24
    I AGREE KNOWSHON SPEED SHOULD BE AT LEAST 90
    CHAMP BAILEY COVERAGE SHOULD BE 99 AND PRESS 97
  • mike
    i think that knowshon moreno's speed should be atleast and 88 - 90. he is way faster than an 86 speed
  • Ak
    Kevin huber gets a huge boost - he's on pace to break single season record for punts inside 20
  • Nick
    bucs o line, cadilac wlliams, and d ward should go up some, and clifton smith was pro bowl kick returner last year, should be a little better speed, juke, etc.
  • optimusp76
    man forget ratings u need to worry about the patch and gameplay thats what they need to do but will they do it hell no.But put the guys u are missing in like darcy johnson for the giants and brue johnson see i am a giants fan but all in all madden still sucks but i have no chose i mean i do but its the only official football game out so we are screwd till 2012 people peace
