NFL Offseason Transactions in Madden Screenshots – Set #3

Jets downgraded by going from TJ to Tomlinson. But you wouldnt know that if you based reaction on Jets fans lol

The LT move just makes no sense to me. But I'm sure that's a head scratcher for a lot of people. What I really don't get, is Thomas Jones to the chiefs. I really hope Jamaal Charles doesn't get buried for another season.

I agree. Charles broke out when LJ was cut. He should be the starter, since the Chiefs don't have the powerful O-line that the Jets had which made Jones so successful. As for the LT thing, I think the Jets' GM just craves star power so that the Jets can stay out of the Giants' shadow for good. He's gone after a bunch of high profile veterans to create a buzz.

TJ hit a wall at the end of the season, he didn't even show up against the Colts when Greene went down with the rib injury.

LTs numbers went down because SD was a pass happy team and their run blocking was not the same caliber as that of the Jets. I don't expect LT to put up TJs numbers from last year, but lets compare TJ and LT again this time in 2011 and then judge if it was a good move. My point is that it was the Jets line that got TJ his stats, and that line is still intact for the 2010 season.

I've met Brodney Pool before. He is a really nice guy and I am glad to see him playing for a potential winner (I'm not calling the Jets winners yet cause you never know. It could have been a fluke).

F#$% sympathy. I have never swayed from my Jets in Madden since the very beginning back on the PS1. YOUR team is YOUR team good or bad. That is the team you should play with. If you go online you should be representing YOUR team. I am sick and tired of every year online playing against the same 4 teams online which usually are Pittsburgh, New England, Philidelphia, or Minnesota. Minnesota replaced San Diego which was the other annoying selection all the time.

Where is jim sorgi. Backup QB for the Giants. Hello?

I don't think LT will have a big impact on the Jets. They downgraded from a tough power runner to a more injury prone back who is a shell of his former self. He's lost the speed and quickness he once had. Granted, playing behind theJets' great offensive line will help him out, but LT is clearly on the downside of his career and he can't contribute anything that Thomas Jones could not, except maybe his ability to catch the football. But overall, I see this as a waste for the Jets. All the carries that the Chragers had to force feed to LT during the end of the Brees era/beginning of Rivers era when the QB situation was shaky have taken a big toll on his body.

As Jet fans, watching all the games the last few years, we know that TJ was a product of the system. He had great blocking from the O-line and rarely ever broke any tackles. I'm not saying we can return LT to MVP form, but I think he can be at least as good as TJ. Also, I don't believe that LT will even start. I think it will be Shonn Greene as the starter, and LT as the back-up (a role that TJ probably would not have taken kindly to).

As a Jet Fan I am not exactly jumping for joy at the signing of LT. Thomas Jones has increased his production every year and has been the leading rusher in the AFC just about every year. LT on the other hand is the Equivalent of 2ksports. Once was great but now is playing by reputation only. LT had his worst season as a pro last year but with the Jets moving into a new stadium, perhaps the name recognition LT brings might put more butts in the seats.

Aside from that I am sure there will a surge of bandwagon people now playing the Jets in Madden which will thouroghly piss me off. Nothing bugs me more than bandwagon Madden fan that only plays teams that are ranked high in the game. Play your favorite team wussy. You know you're a Lions or a Browns fan.

Agree with the bandwagon thing. Everyone used the Vikings last year… so annoying. As for the Browns/Lions fan thing, I actually have sympathy for them cause their teams suck so bad. They can play with other teams

yea lol

Give them a break. If your team was rated in the 60s / low 70s in madden, you'd be pretty sick of losing after a while. I mean yeah it gets tiring to see the same teams all the time, but it's ridiculous to expect Rams fans to play as their horrible team. And as for me, I'm an Eagles fan and heve never used any other team and I saw a ton of bandwagoners as soon as they signed Vick, which bugged me a little. But anyway, if you feel that strongly, then maybe you shouldn't play online. You're gonna come across those kinds of people all the time. And some people like to try different things. I mean in all honesty sometimes I get bored of playing with the Eagles and try to switch things up a little by playing with the Titans or Texans or something. It sucks that terrible Madden players want to use the bandwagon teams so theat they can win, but I mean most people play to win. And when it becomes impossible to win as their favorite team they might want to make a change.

im happy with LT..jones did hit a wall at the end of the year..greene is a beast..im just hoping they re-sign leon

ur kiding…

Firstly, I would like to thank you for being such a sarcastic prick. Secondly, apparently the person who I originally replied to didn't know Greene would be the starter because he said the Jets downgraded from TJ to LT. And last of all, I was trying to inform him nicely instead of being an a-hole about it, which is clearly the way you like to go about doing things.

If you are a big jets fan, you realize that TJ constantly leaves yardage on the field. His vision isn't great, so he gets alot of 5 yard runs, but not many 20 yd runs, he has the power, balance, and heart to get into the hole, but his vision decision is subpar. Shon Greene and before that L.Washington was breaking huge runs with the oline, and TJ did as well, but not on par with how many touches he got compared to theirs. SG gained 181 yards vs the raiders in 3 qtrs.
LT signing was for star name and for the backup job, LT has great hands something none of the Jets rbs have, so 3rd downs and 2nd down spreads should feature LT. LT also knows all of the offense already, its the same offense he ran when he had 28 tds. He had 12 tds last year for the worst rushing team in the league….you guys are kidding yourselves if LT as a backup in NYJ is bad deal.

I use the Lions already. Will be using them even if they dont get SUh. Jackson collapse pocket just as good.

Can you post these updates live in Madden so that we can start playing with these updated moves? Thank you.
