Sorry for the double post, but the message was too big. here is the rest

Ratings Up
QB Kyle Orton – Bears – 76 to 77 – Has claimed the starting job and looked competent in the preseason.
SS Kevin Payne – Bears – 70 to 76 – Starting at safety after beating out Brandon McGowan.
WR Rashied Davis – Bears – 74 to 76 – Showed a spark in the preseason and looks to be in the offense to start the season.
LB Brandon Johnson – Bengals – 71 to 74 – Played very well before giving up the weak side LB gig to Keith Rivers.
LT Demetrius Bell – Bills – 54 to 62 – Lowest rated player in Madden to start the season. Made the Bills team despite only playing football for a couple years.
HB Michael Bennett – Bucs – 74 to 77 – The new Earnest Graham – meaning preseason superstar, at least this go around.
WR Steve Breaston – Cardinals – 71 to 74 – With Early Doucet out of action, Breaston captured the 3rd WR job.
QB Chad Henne – Dolphins – 77 to 79 – Outplayed about everybody in the rookie QB class.
TE Anthony Fasano – Dolphins – 82 to 84 – A strong sleeper candidate at TE for the Dolphins. Should catch 50-60 passes.
CB Brent Grimes – Falcons – 72 to 75 – Undersized corner who makes up his seeming lack of size with intense play.
QB J.T. O’Sullivan – 49ers – 77 to 78 – Martz’s guy to start the season at QB for the Niners.
QB Aaron Rodgers – Packers – 83 to 84 – Despite all the hubbub looked very sharp when given time.
QB Colt Brennan – Redskins – 74 to 78 – Looked sharp playing with and against 3 teamers in the preseason. Looks like a winner.
HB Maurice Morris – Seahawks – 80 to 83 – Looks to be the best and most explosive backs in Seattle.
CB Kevin Hobbs – Seahawks – 65 to 71 – Playing well and moving up the DC.
WR Courtney Taylor – Seahawks – 69 to 73 – Has a chance to play early with all the injuries at WR for the Seahawks.
LB Lawrence Timmons – Steelers – 78 to 80 – A budding star for the Steelers. Starting the season as a backup MLB.
LB LaMarr Woodley – Steelers – 79 to 82 – Would be shocking if this guy wasn’t north of 8-9 sacks this season.
HB Steve Slaton – Texans – 75 to 77 – A strong candidate to get the most touches in a crowded Texans backfield.
LB David Thornton – Titans – 89 to 92 – Tackling machine who was underrated.
HB Chris Johnson – Titans – 77 to 82 – Already looks like the fastest player in the NFL.
DT Jason Jones – Titans – 72 to 74 – Made a couple plays in the preseason. Playing defensive tackle after being drafted playing end in college.
WR Justin McCareins – Titans – 77 to 79 – Looks like a candidate to start on a Titans squad with mediocre wide outs.
Ratings Down
QB Rex Grossman – Bears – 79 to 74 – Continues to fire the ball around the field with little caution.
SS Brandon McGowan – Bears – 82 to 78 – Lost his starting job at the end of the preseason.
WR Earl Bennett – Bears – 79 to 76 – Looked shaky in his first NFL training camp.
LG Josh Beekman – Bears – 78 to 74 – Unable to win a starting spot on a subpar Bears offensive line.
WR Mark Bradley – Bears – 75 to 73 – Buried on the Bears WR depth chart his entire career.
DT Dusty Dvoracek – Bears – 79 to 77 – Has battled knee injuries his first couple seasons in the NFL.
DE Alphonso Boone – Chiefs – 84 to 81 – Lost his starting job and was an odd candidate for a 4-3 end after playing defensive tackle his entire career.
QB Alex Smith – 49ers – 79 to 77 – It’s all been said before, needs some fresh scenery at this point in his career.
QB Shaun Hill – 49ers – 79 to 77 – Looked like a candidate to start early on, unable to beat out JT O’Sullivan.
QB Brian Brohm – Packers – 79 to 75 – Demoted to 3rd string after being overwhelmed by the NFL.
HB Julius Jones – Seahawks – 84 to 82 – A free agent back brought in to start is splitting carries at best to start the season.
RT Max Starks – Steelers – 81 to 78 – Has been horrendous in preseason.
HB Ahman Green – Texans – 82 to 81 – An older back on his last legs.
Injuries (Out for Season)
RE Osi Umenyiora – Giants – Knee
RT Ryan O’Callaghan – Patriots - Shoulder
FB Oren O’Neal – Raiders – Knee
DE Dwan Edwards – Ravens - Back
CB Justin King – Rams - Toe

HB Ricky Williams – Dolphins – 2 years total
HB Steven Jackson – Rams – 6 years total
LB James Farrior – Steelers – 5 years total


I must say i am very excited to see brian witherspoon of the jags. he is supposedly their fastest player and could be a huge weapon in madden 09 if they give him the proper speed ratings.

Pacman is supposed to be either an 84 or 86 and chris johnson of the titans supposedly went up 5 ratings points and is going to be a complete beast now.

i cant wait

Mod! thx's for the info... and nice Post!
