Madden 09 Final Roster Update Released

Well the final Madden 2009 roster update has been released. This means that all players came off the IR. EA put a lot of effort in this update to represent the players performances over this season. This should make the community extremely happy and hopefully a sign of things to come.

We have no detailed list at this time so feel free to post anything you might notice and comments about the update. A few noticeable changes, John Carlson from 79 to 89, Joe Flacco up to 84, Chad Johnson dropping to 92, Kurt Warner up to 95, and Michael Turner up to 95. LT is also on the drop again to 95. Be sure and post if you guys see anything else.

Final Madden 2009 Roster Update Coming Next Week

EA hopes to have the final Madden roster out by next week. This will be the final one for 2009 and will include the removal of players from the IR. It will not be limited to the teams that were in the playoffs as it will include updates for the entire NFL.

From what I hear this will be the biggest update yet, with major changes to go along with the performances over the season and also take care of players who may have been looked over. That should be good news for the Madden community.

Madden Roster Update #17 Details

Finally now that the holidays are over the Madden roster updates are back with #17 which should be out Friday. There should be one more following the divisional playoffs but no word if there will be one after the Conference Championships.

There are finally a few changes I think people will be impressed with.

Madden 09 Roster Update #16 Details

The 16th roster update was released on Fri.  There still was not any movement in ratings of the players that have been consistent or on the ones who have flat out sucked this year. Seems EA doesn’t seem to be covering all the ground as the season rolls to an end for many teams.

Ratings Up
LB Lance Briggs – Bears – 95 to 96 – Leading the team in tackles and is playing at a very high level.
S Josh Barrett – Broncos – 70 to 72 – Started for the Broncos and did a good job on Tony G in coverage on several plays.
LB D’Qwell Jackson – Browns – 87 to 88 – Huge year for the Browns LB. 130 tackles/2 sacks/3 INT’s on the season. Had a 3rd INT go off his hands early in the Titans game.
CB Rod Hood – Cardinals – 86 to 87 – Forms a nice tandem at CB with DRC. Can shutdown most non-elite WR’s.
T Mike Gandy – Cardinals – 93 to 94 – The most impressive pass blocking LT this season. Routinely shuts out his man opposite him. The Cardinals pass more than any team and get blitzed more than any team and he never gets beat.
WR Steve Breaston – Cardinals – 83 to 84 – Got a speed increase after getting deep several more times. Is resembling a complete NFL WR.
CB Maurice Leggett – Chiefs – 68 to 70 – Chiefs might have got one here. Has 2 INT’s for TD’s in the past 3 games. Routinely in nickel formations and could be a nickel back next season.
S Ken Hamlin – Cowboys – 88 to 89 – Although the guy playing next to him changes by the week, he has been playing at a high level.
HB Tashard Choice – Cowboys – 77 to 78 – Had a very nice game vs. the best defense in the NFL. Should be in line for a couple touches a game going forward even with a health Barber.
DT Jason Ferguson – Dolphins – 85 to 86 – Big nose tackle in the middle of the Dolphins 3-4, has 4 tackles for loss.
LB Charlie Anderson – Dolphins – 76 to 77 – Got a power move/finesse move upgrade after showing some big pass rushing moves vs. the Bills Jason Peters.
DE Kendall Langford – Dolphins – 77 to 78 – Made a nice tackle behind the LOS last week. Has 26 tackles and 2 sacks as a 3-4 end.
LB Channing Crowder – Dolphins – 85 to 86 – Second leading tackler on the Dolphins behind Yeremiah Bell.
LB Stewart Bradley – Eagles – 81 to 84 – Leading tackler on the Eagles. Looks very fast out there in pursuit.
DT Brodrick Bunkley – Eagles – 85 to 86 – Has racked up 39 tackles and 2 sacks and is improving each game.
DT Jonathan Babineaux – Falcons – 84 to 86 – Is starting to dominate on some plays. Has 3.5 sacks and 8 tackles for loss.
QB Matt Ryan – Falcons – 86 to 87 – Showed tremendous accuracy putting his passes in only places where his receivers could make a play last week.
WR Roddy White – Falcons – 92 to 93 – Has improved over his great season last year. Must be covered with 2 players.
C Eric Heitmann – 49ers – 85 to 88 – Was just rewarded with a contract extension and praise from the coaches on how well he is blocking.
TE Vernon Davis – 49ers – 85 to 86 – Got some attention to the blocking ratings after Singletary called him the best blocking TE he has ever seen. Watching him he could bulk up and be a dominate pass blocking LT.
QB Shaun Hill – 49ers – 77 to 78 – Playing with the same players as JT O’Turnover, Hill has outperformed him in every passing stat.
G Chilo Rachal – 49ers – 75 to 78 – Now starting at G for the Niners. Second round pick out of USC.
CB Tramon Williams – Packers – 81 to 82 – Has started the last 2 games at CB and has been relatively clean of the blame of the pass defense woes.
G Travelle Wharton – Panthers – 89 to 92 – Panthers best offensive lineman. Moved over from tackle last season.
G Keydrick Vincent – Panthers – 79 to 81 – Is a mauler in the run game at RG.
T Jeff Otah – Panthers – 78 to 79 – Is much better run blocking than pass blocking.
FB Brad Hoover – Panthers – 87 to 89 – One of the last true fullbacks that still plays a lot of snaps.
WR Wes Welker – Patriots – 94 to 95 – Is the Patriots entire offense at some points. Was a big reason they were able to get a win in Seattle last week.
DT Justin Bannan – Ravens – 85 to 88 – Is an absolute beast up front.
LB Ray Lewis – Ravens – 95 to 96 – Bannan has helped Ray Lewis look great again.
WR Derrick Mason – Ravens – 91 to 92 – Would put up huge numbers in a pass heavy offense. Still should eclipse 80 catches and 1,000 yards.
LB Terrell Suggs – Ravens – 88 to 89 – Is making plays again this season with 6.5 sacks and 10 tackles for loss.
DT Kendrick Clancy – Saints – 79 to 80 – Was getting a monster surge vs. Atlanta in the run game. Clancy and Ellis should help Vilma stay clean from lineman.
T Jon Stinchcomb – Saints – 85 to 87 – Underrated RT who has probably played better than their big LT Jamaal Brown.
CB Ike Taylor – Steelers – 89 to 92 – After having some coverage issues last season has played great since then. If he had better hands he might be in the talk for the Pro Bowl.
CB William Gay – Steelers – 71 to 74 – Has played pretty well in the past several weeks when issues crept up in the Steelers secondary.
FS Ryan Clark – Steelers – 83 to 86 – 3rd on the team in tackles and has played very well this season and last.
LB Lawrence Timmons – Steelers – 80 to 84 – Too talented to keep off the field anymore. Cutting big time into Larry Foote’s snaps.
T Eric Winston – Texans – 87 to 90 – In a perfect world he would be considered for the Pro Bowl. Has played better than Joe Thomas.
C Chris Myers – Texans – 82 to 84 – Working well with the guards in pass protection and in the run game. Came over from Denver at the start of the season.
HB Steve Slaton – Texans – 84 to 85 – Broke the 1,000 yard mark vs. Green Bay. He is always on the verge of a long run.
QB Matt Schaub – Texans – 85 to 86 – Tore up the Packers injury riddled secondary to the tune of 400+ yards.
DE Jevon Kearse – Titans – 81 to 83 – Name is starting to be called again by commentators. Starting to make plays even if not always sacks.
LT Michael Roos – Titans – 91 to 94 – Still is unknown around most water coolers. As the Titan game continues to put up huge numbers the big guys up front will start getting some talk.
RT David Stewart – Titans – 91 to 93 – A monster at RT. Once he gets locked on its over for the other guy.
G Jake Scott – Titans – 92 to 94 – Came over from Indy this offseason, Indy might have chose the wrong guard to keep.
G Eugene Amano – Titans – 84 to 86 – First year as a starter couldn’t have started better.

Ratings Down
WR Chris Henry – Bengals – 82 to 78 – Has not been a downfield threat in Cincy this season and has dropped passes underneath.
DE Antwan Odom – Bengals – 84 to 80 – A free agent bust from Tennessee. A rotational lineman asked to take the next step into an every down lineman didn’t pan out.
QB JP Losman – Bills – 77 to 75 – Has looked worse than bad the past two weeks.
T Kevin Shaffer – Browns – 89 to 87 – Spends too much time on the ground now and the Browns offensive line has taken a step back, Joe Thomas too.
S Jarrad Page – Chiefs – 77 to 74 – His lack of pursuit in trying to tackle sticks out week to week.
DE Tamba Hali – Chiefs – 81 to 78 – The Chiefs are going to set an NFL record for fewest sacks, Hali had to step up with the loss of Jared Allen and did not.
LB Donnie Edwards – Chiefs – 90 to 86 – Should only play on passing downs at this point. Has been battling injuries.
DT Tank Johnson – Cowboys – 80 to 78 – If his name wasn’t Tank would anyone know he was? No.
WR Reggie Brown – Eagles – 86 to 82 – Injuries have been plaguing him this season, still his numbers are way down.
CB Lito Sheppard – Eagles – 92 to 89 – Is now a dime back for Philly, and the Eagles pass defense numbers have been better with Hanson in there.
WR Steve Smith – Giants – 84 to 82 – Giants are in big trouble if this guy is in the plans for a big part of the offense going forward.
CB Deltha O’Neal – Patriots – 82 to 79 – Routinely burned this season in New England, has now been benched for the rookie Wilhite.
G Jacob Bell – Rams – 94 to 92 – Has not helped Jackson as much as expected and missed some costly blocks last game vs. the Cardinals.
HB Steven Jackson – Rams – 97 to 96 – Showed he still has it hurdling a safety on a run but put the ball on the ground 2 costly times. Is a top 4 NFL running back.
LB Marcus Washington – Redskins – 89 to 87 – Has lost a step and could easily be replaced next season.
QB Jason Campbell – Redskins – 87 to 86 – Is no longer not making mistakes and resembles an average QB against top defenses.
WR Malcolm Kelly – Redskins – 79 to 76 – Has had chances in past weeks but looks pretty slow and raw. Needs another year to get healthy.
LB Larry Foote – Steelers – 86 to 84 – Has deservedly lost snaps to up and coming stud Lawrence Timmons.
WR Sidney Rice – Vikings – 83 to 78 – Has not taken the next step in his second season mostly due to injuries and a passing game which he should be making better.

Ratings Up*
CB Corey Graham – Bears – 76 to 77 – Will step into the starting lineup with the season ending injury to Vasher.
HB Matt Forte – Bears – 84 to 85 – Is up there with Chris Johnson and Slaton as top rookie back.
CB Brandon McDonald – Browns – 78 to 80 – Took his one week benching in stride making some big plays in solid coverage vs. Reggie Wayne.
DT Shaun Rogers – Browns – 96 to 97 – Should line up next to Albert Haynesworth in the starting lineup for the AFC Pro Bowl. One move that worked for Cleveland acquiring Rogers for Leigh Bodden.
DE Kevin Carter – Bucs – 82 to 85 – The Bucs brought him back and he has rewarded them with very good play against the run and getting to the passer.
DE Jimmy Wilkerson – Bucs – 77 to 80 – Has been thriving and playing very well as a defensive sub for Tampa.
LB Derrick Brooks – Bucs – 93 to 94 – Whispers that he was fading were exaggerated, looks very good in pass coverage.
LT Donald Penn – Bucs – 84 to 88 – A dominant pass blocker at LT who should be considered for the Pro Bowl.
CB Ronde Barber – Bucs – 91 to 92 – Has been making plays in weeks past after looking washed up earlier in the season.
WR Antonio Bryant – Bucs – 81 to 86 – Looks very big and strong as the #1 in Tampa. Very fluid running his routes and looks good after the catch.
DE Dwight Freeney – Colts – 95 to 96 – Gave Joe Thomas a beating in last week’s game. His bull rush is as good as ever and put Thomas on his back.
DE Robert Mathis – Colts – 95 to 96 – Worked with Freeney to win won in Cleveland when the offense had nothing.
WR Davone Bess – Dolphins – 74 to 76 – Looks he will pick up the slack with the season ending injury to Greg Camarillo. He has some experience catching tons of passes from Colt Brennan at Hawaii.
DE Justin Tuck – Giants – 94 to 95 – Last year’s most underrated Madden player has played above expectations.
WR Domenik Hixon – Giants – 76 to 79 – Showed he is ready to take the next step by showing ability to separate from Carlos Rogers. Will be looked upon more with the loss of Burress.
CB Al Harris – Packers – 92 to 94 – With the uncertainty that has been looming with the Green Bay secondary, Al Harris has been superb since his return from injury.
CB Chris Gamble – Panthers – 90 to 92 – Just was rewarded with a contract extension for his solid play this season, never had been consistent before but is so this season.
S Charles Godfrey – Panthers – 77 to 79 – After playing CB in college has transitioned nicely to the FS position.
HB DeAngelo Williams – Panthers – 85 to 86 – Blew up for 4 TD’s and has played better since the emergence of Jonathan Stewart.
G Travelle Wharton – Panthers – 88 to 89 – Has been Carolina’s most consistent lineman.
DE Charles Johnson – Panthers – 77 to 78 – Was getting a monster push in last week’s game vs. Green Bay.
CB Randall Gay – Saints – 82 to 84 – Has been solid this season. The best player in the Saints secondary.
HB Pierre Thomas – Saints – 78 to 83 – Looks to have his role expanded even more with Deuce being suspended.
LB James Harrison – Steelers – 96 to 97 – Is defensive MVP through 13 weeks.
HB Steve Slaton – Texans – 83 to 84 – Looked very fast in his big day on Monday night. He looks great in the Texans zone blocking scheme.
G Mike Brisiel – Texans – 78 to 83 – Has done a nice job in his first full year as a starting lineman.
C Chris Myers – Texans – 80 to 82 – Worked well with the right side to open up huge holes for Slaton to fly through.
WR Andre Johnson – Texans – 96 to 97 – Has taken the next step as a dominate WR. Looks like a big created player out there.
DE Jared Allen – Vikings – 97 to 98 – One of the most disruptive forces in football. Bucs LT Penn held him in check, besides that he has been dominating opposing tackles.

*Many more ratings changes

Ratings Down *
WR Chad Johnson – Bengals – 97 to 96 – Has displayed unsteady hands and has not been on his game this season.
WR Donte Stallworth – Browns – 85 to 81 – Has underachieved on every team unless the QB is Tom Brady. A free agent bomb along with the acquisition of Corey Williams.
TE Kellen Winslow – Browns – 97 to 95 – Will never be 100% again. Is still a top TE but he won’t be able to be durable again.
S Clinton Hart – Chargers – 85 to 82 – Has been abused by TE’s all year in pass coverage.
TE Antonio Gates – Chargers – 97 to 96 – Is unable to move and separate anymore. Does not appear to be near 100%.
CB Patrick Surtain – Chiefs – 87 to 84 – The Chiefs have moved on and will officially do so after the season.
S Bob Sanders – Colts – 98 to 97 – Has been plagued by injuries again this season. Troy P and Ed Reed should be the top 2 safeties.
WR Marvin Harrison – Colts – 94 to 92 – His inability to separate now must be alarming to the Colts.
LB Vernon Gholston – Jets – 79 to 74 – Had chances in last week’s game to make plays and didn’t. Is only rated a 74 based on pure potential at picking up OLB because now he looks slow.

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.

Ratings Up
S Mike Brown – Bears – 87 to 88 – Was flashing big time hit power in Sunday’s debacle to the Packers.
T John St. Clair – Bears – 73 to 76 – Has played better than expected or past performance would indicate. Chris Williams is back now so he might be moving to the bench at some point.
FB Peyton Hillis – Broncos – 78 to 79 – Got a trucking increase by showing he can move the pile at the NFL level vs. the Falcons.
HB Jerome Harrison – Browns – 77 to 78 – Got a speed increase after he turned on the jets Monday night.

LB Stewart Bradley – Eagles – 80 to 81 –

DT Jonathan Babineaux – Falcons – 82 to 84 – Is having a big year with 7 tackles for loss thus far.
DE Jamaal Anderson – Falcons – 81 to 82 – Is starting to pressure the QB more frequently after not having a sack his rookie year.

FB Madison Hedgecock – Giants – 88 to 89 – Has had quite the resurgence after being released by the Rams last season.
S Michael Johnson – 81 to 83 – Looks to have won the fight with Kenny Phillips. Has played very well in coverage this season. Phillips and Johnson now start together.
HB Derrick Ward – Giants – 82 to 84 – Signed a 1 year deal this year and looks to cash in this offseason in free agency after a big season with the best O-line going.
HB Ahmad Bradshaw – Giants – 82 to 83 – Looks to have his role expanded next season as the key backup.

LB Justin Durant – Jaguars – 83 to 85 – Speedy LB for the Jags who will be a big part of the defense for many years.
S Gerald Sensabaugh – Jaguars – 79 to 81 – Starting now at safety for the Jaguars after moving the former starter back to cornerback.
HB Leon Washington – Jets – 82 to 83 – Got some more speed after making some big plays against the Patriots that the Jets had to have.
S Abram Elam – Jets – 76 to 79 – Has been making big plays and is now starting again at safety after being a backup earlier in the year.
TE Dustin Keller – Jets – 80 to 82 – Looks to be developing chemistry with Brett Favre. He will need to be clicking against undefeated Tennessee.
HB Thomas Jones – Jets – 89 to 90 – Had to have heard Leon Washington’s footsteps and has returned in a big way after a down year last year. The upgrade to the OL surely helped.
QB Matt Cassell – Patriots – 78 to 79 – Got a boost in speed and acceleration as he showed scrambling ability vs. the Jets. Still someone is gonna pay this guy way too much.
LB Gary Guyton – Patriots – 73 to 78 – The Pats 3rd MLB gets plenty of time and valuable experience as he will no doubt be a starter.
DE Aaron Smith – Steelers – 96 to 97 – Continued to be dominate and cave in the right side of the offensive line.
LB LaMarr Woodley – Steelers – 87 to 88 – Made a play in coverage last week in addition to making plays rushing the passer.

LB Xavier Adibi – Texans – 73 to 76 – Had a big game filling in for injured starter Morlon Greenwood.

Ratings Down

S Calvin Lowry – Broncos – 77 to 75 – Made some very bad plays in pursuit vs. the Falcons.
CB Karl Paymah – Broncos – 77 to 73 – Did a lot of damage to his value by his poor play this season.
CB Brandon McDonald – Browns – 82 to 78 – Was demoted in the Browns secondary. Not a good thing for longevity.
WR Braylon Edwards – Browns – 95 to 92 – Catching was lowered due to his ability not to be able to hang onto the ball.
WR Patrick Crayton – Cowboys – 82 to 80 – Might have his role expanded after the injury to Miles Austin. Was not involved with the addition of Roy Williams and the emergence of Austin.
CB Drayton Florence – Jaguars – 85 to 81 – Was demoted to nickel back causing a shift in the secondary. Was burned last week vs. the Titans.
DT Rob Meier – Jaguars – 86 to 82 – Has not played as well as he did last season.

S Michael Huff – Raiders – 85 to 78 – Facts are facts. This guy is a bust.
LT Kwame Harris – Raiders – 78 to 74 – On the short list for worst starting LT in the league. Leads the league in false starts.
QB JaMarcus Russell – Raiders – 79 to 75 – Continues to display very bad downfield accuracy. Anytime he is off the Raiders play calling leash he shows how long he still has to go.
CB Tye Hill – Rams – 81 to 75 – This year has been a disaster after he expected big things at the start of the season.
DT La’Roi Glover – Rams – 82 to 78 – Has now been relegated to being blown off the ball as a backup.
LB Will Witherspoon – Rams – 90 to 89 – Looked completely horrendous and hobbled in last week’s game against the 49ers.
QB Marc Bulger – Rams – 87 to 85 – Had another horrendous start vs. the Jets. Was able to rack up passing attempts and yards after they were down by 30 points.
WR Torry Holt – Rams – 94 to 93 – Not able to separate like the old Torry Holt. Now he might be old Torry Holt.
G Anthony Herrera – Vikings – 87 to 83 – Has been beaten too often this year in pass protection.
T Ryan Cook – Vikings – 84 to 81 – Has been benched in Minnesota at RT.
