This looks good to me
 
[quote name='staticz']That Woodson pick was super human! I didn't notice any lag, I thought you were kicking away from Harvin.

Regardless good game Matt. That woodhead fumble for 6 really ticked me off. 6 guys around the ball and you scoop it up and run on down the field![/QUOTE]

I was surprised I picked that up, yeah. Lag was minimal throughout the game but it caused the punt meter to freeze up and my accuracy was way off. Woodson's one handed pick (of 2 INTs in the game) was ridiculous. I'll miss him once he retires.
 
Trade is fine by me. The cowboys also got the first win of the season against the cpu rams. It was won in overtime. My madden skills are very rusty.

Is this the only one on the block right now?

As for my comments, Carr and Newman are a wash. The age difference makes up for the OVR difference. So I'm looking at Miles Austin for essentially the rest, which is quite the haul IMO. 1st rounder isn't going to be high, but there's usually a good amount of WRs and they are never a hot item in the draft (at least compared to DBs, LBs and maybe QBs). The A potential center is nice, depth now? Starter next year? Depending on how he advances and what his line looks like. Urban is a throw in, and the 3rd evens things out a bit. No issue here.

And I should note I'm going to scrutinize these a bit more moving forward. This has nothing to do with what's been put through because I've had a say in everything besides the most minor of deals, and even that I may be wrong on. But I like picking these a part, not just for the league but for my own personal enjoyment. That's what I should be doing anyways. I'll admit I can't be here every waking moment as my work blocks this site, but no trade needs to be put through in that 9 to 6 period anyways.

As another personal aside, I suggest those teams in rebuilding mode to NOT trade away their still young and still talented players. This isn't directed at this trade because I think what he's getting for Austin is more than plenty, BUT it doesn't make sense to trade players that should be your building blocks. You don't rebuild a team only on draft picks and A potential offensive linemen. That's just my 2 cents!

interested to see the response to this... worded differently but it was the point i had tried to make earlier
 
BV can you let me know what your brother's availability is like?? I play him after we advance. Can you ask him what time he can play tomorrow (if at all)? I'm available Friday all day/night and Saturday until about 5 or 6 p.m. EST. Then late night like after midnight EST. I know he's Pacific time, so if he wants to play sometime at night tomorrow or Saturday, I'm usually up really late (until like 4 a.m. EST on average) so we can do that if he wants. Sunday I'm available whenever except for during the Panthers game at 1 p.m. EST.

Everyone stay tuned for my in-depth report on the mysterious figure: bvharris's brother. I get first dibs on playing him...so I'll let everyone know how far the apple falls from the tree in terms of madden skillzz.

Trade Alert:

Denver Broncos Trade WR Eric Decker (72 OVR) and DT Marcus Thomas (74 OVR)

Jacksonville Jaguars Trade: WR Jason Hill (71 OVR) and HB Rashad Jennings (74 OVR)

* I'm not sure on the Player Potentials. ALSO Pending Approval of Jacksonville's Owner again. We had the trade in place, but I tried to swap out players, Assuming he agrees to these terms again we would be looking to make this one official. Just throwing it out for the moment to see what happens.

We'll need both potentials and ages for us to fully review. Just knowing what I know of these players off the top of my head... this is pretty good though. Even in OVRs, Decker and Jennings are probably the real swap here. I imagine good pot, both young, both in skill positions. Hill fills out the lost WR spot and I assume the DT helps soften the blow of losing a young, growing RB.

Edit: And when I think of these teams... Jags with no WRs worth a damn and Denver always struggling to find that next great RB... this really works on that level too, but we still need those ages and pots.
 
Jason Hill 71 overall, age 26, C potential.

Rashard Jennings 74 overall, age 26, B potential.


Decker has good catch ratings, and brings a quality receiver to the Jags, something sorely needed. Thomas brings a big, young body to a defensive front that is lacking in depth in that area. Just my reasoning for it.
 
My Problem is that I can't truck worth a crap, I don't know why. I see people do it so effectively all the time and here I've got guys like Knowshown and Willis McGahee and I can't do anything with them. Maybe I need to start looking at the Break Tackle rating as well, I'm not sure. Anyways I don't use Decker that much, He's my 4th wideout and I get a 1 Point Upgrade in terms of speed, so essentially that's a wash while at the same time I unload my plethora of Defensive tackles and gain a solid Running Back. It was a great trade for both sides.

WR Eric Decker (72 OVR, B Potential) and DT Marcus Thomas (74 OVR, C Potential)

So do I drop my two players and then he does the same and we claim them in Free Agency?
 
I'll wait to hear some more opinions on this, but my reasoning above still stands true with the potentials what they are. So I'll leave it at that and see what others think.
 
[quote name='Doomtime']How is Knowshon on this game? I've never used him.

As for the trade, it looks good to me.[/QUOTE]

He's quick, I guess I just can't get down Trucking at this point. I see other guys fall forwards for a few yards and what not and I can't get it down. But he's pretty good. I'm apparently more of a balanced offense than I realized with Tebow only throwing 20 to 25 Passes a game. So I'm trying to get a hang of the running game.
 
Before I go and give my thoughts on the trade...I'll just say, it looks extremely fair and I am in no way against it.

But I'm confused...you can't truck worth a crap so you decide to trade for a trucking HB? Jennings is a straight power back (84 speed, 89 trucking, 88 stiff arm, low to mediocre in all other HB attributes). Moreno isn't a trucker (for lack of a better term), he's more of a shifty back even though he's a bit on the slow side with 88 speed. McGahee is actually a little better than Jennings but they are both very similar backs. Jennings is younger so there's a chance he'll take the edge over McGahee next season, but they'll still essentially be the exact same kind of back.

Just curious...maybe you were thinking of a different back?? The trade doesn't make a whole lot of sense for you from my perspective, but it's a very fair trade so if you wanna do it, then by all means go for it.

My whole thing is while I can't truck yet, I'll eventually get it down and as you said Jennings will take over Willis McGahee whose going to be my fullback more than likely. So once I get it down I'll have a 1-2 Punch of Speed with Moreno and Trucking with Jennings. I didn't have another back in mind, I would take Jones Drew but I didn't even talk trade for him since that would've taken a hefty deal I'd imagine. I'm happy with the trade but thanks for the input MasterAwesome, I appreciate it.
 
Finally got back to my computer to post this.

We have a new Music City Miracle!

The stars aligned and the moon and the sun bent over backward as the Tennessee Titans finally picked up their first win of the season against the Houston Texans. Houston jumped out to an early 13-0 lead (thanks to a field goal kicked on 3rd down of all things, haha), and led 13-3 going into the final minutes of the 4th quarter. After picking up a big 1st down, things did not look good for the Titans. But lightning struck as Ben Tate was stripped of the ball at the Titan 14 yard line. The ball was scooped up by Alterraun Verner and returned 86 yards for the TD with 3:06 left to play.

With only one timeout remaining and knowing that one first down would seal their fate, the Titans opted for the onside kick, and amazingly, recovered it. Unable to move the ball downfield all game, the offense appeared to be sparked by the turn of events. Chris Johnson came up with some big runs and Tennessee converted two game saving 4th down plays. The Titans marched all the way down to the Houston 8 yard line before being forced to kick a field goal as time expired, sending the game into OT.

Tennessee won the coin toss in OT, and continued right where they left off in the final minutes of the 4th quarter, marching the ball to Houston's 30 yard line, where Rob Bironas kicked a triumphant 47 yard field goal for the win. The sequence of events that set up this comeback was incredibly lucky. Ramesu had everything go against him from the final three minutes on. That ending could probably be replayed 100 times and it would never happen that way again. It's nice to finally get a win, but even I can admit how flukey it was. Sorry for stealing that one Ramesu.

It's tonight.

[/QUOTE]

Nope. There's still the Asante Samuel trade:

[quote name='PacerPerspect']
Philadelphia will send Asante Samuel (CB, 30, 94 OVR, A POT), Kyle DeVan (RG, 26, 75 OVR, B POT), Greg Lloyd (MLB, 22, 62 OVR, B POT) to New England in exchange for Brandon Spikes (LB, 23, 79 OVR, A POT), Brian Waters (G, 34, 87 OVR, A POT), Ross Ventrone (FS, 24, 60 OVR and unknown POT) and a second-round draft pick in 2012 pending league approval.[/QUOTE]

Doom suggested that I send back a CB instead of Ventrone, though I insisted it's fair as is. In order to make things easier on myself I'm going to send him Darius Butler (CB, 68OVR, B Pot) instead of Ventrone. Hopefully that will appease Mr. Doom. ;)

You get 2nd dibs in playing him, Zurezo's playing him tonight. And like I said before, I actually haven't had the chance to play him either, so it's a total mystery.

He's usually available after 7:30 EST on weekdays, which is when he gets out of work. As for weekends, I'm not entirely sure. Once he's able to come in and post on CAG himself I'm sure he can sort that out.
 
[quote name='PacerPerspect']I hope the sub of Butler for Ventrone pushes the deal through as well![/QUOTE]

Just going by total OVR, my side of the package is now higher than yours (234, 231). Not that that's exactly an accurate metric of anything, but still interesting. Add in the 2nd rounder going from me to you, and I think it's more than fair now.
 
Trade Alert:

Chiefs Receive: DT Ty Warren (82 OVR, B Potential, 31)

Broncos Receive: WR Steve Breaston (78 OVR, B Potential, 28)

* You rarely see inter division trades but a Ty Warren for Steve Breaston trade seems to work pretty equally for both sides. Denver has a need for a solid #2 or #3 Wide Receiver and Breaston's speed and catching ability certainly addresses this. Kansas City would get an immediate impact from a player with several years left in his NFL Career in Ty Warren...Warren inserts versatility as an 82 Rated Defensive Tackle AND Defensive End. Meaning Glenn Dorsey could move back to Defensive Tackle and potentially gain points, Insert Ty Warren at DE and it would be a 1 Point Upgrade. Either way it's an equal deal for both of us.

Sounds good to me.
 
No problem with either Broncos trade.

[quote name='Doomtime']Yeah my DT is old as dust and I'm expecting him to retire at any time. [/QUOTE]

It's worth noting that Ty Warren's no spring chicken himself. Plus I'm not sure what his Injury rating is, but I doubt it's great.

Edit: No, it's 84 actually. I guess they weren't familiar with his body of work (or non-work, actually) during his last couple of Pats seasons.

True, but I think I'll get 3 solid years out of him. I don't think I'll see a regression until he hits 34.

My next few drafts are going to focus on both sides of my line anyway so I'll have a few guys waiting in the wings.

And Breaston is pretty worthless to me at this point.

Tell me about it BV, He's played what like a handful of games the past few seasons? Shame, We really needed him.

Edit: Considering he has 1 Catch for 24 Yards this season, I would say so Doom. lol.

Alright, the new Doom-tested, Doom-approved Samuel trade:

Trade for Review
Eagles get:
RG Brian Waters (87 OVR, 34, A Pot)
MLB Brandon Spikes (79 OVR, 24, A Pot)
CB Darius Butler (68 OVR, 25, B Pot)
2nd-round pick (this is the Pats' own pick, not the OAK pick they also have)

Patriots get:
CB Asante Samuel (94 OVR, 30, A Pot)
RG Kyle DeVan (75 OVR, 26, B Pot)
MLB Greg Lloyd (62 OVR, 22, B Pot)

Each side is now balanced both in terms of overall and also in terms of UConn Alumni. :D

Welcome back Asante :bouncy:
 
Doom there will be no such smacking around of Mr. Breaston, If Bowe and Breaston only had 3 Combined Catches then how many passes has Cassel even attempted? Also I spaced out at some point during this whole thing. Do I drop Ty Warren into FA and Pick Up Breaston? I'm behind on my last trade as well, no one really had input on it besides BV, Uber and MasterAwesome.
