That doesn't happen on the PC version in pro mode or All-pro mode. What system are you playing on?

For any of you who use the PC version and are having trouble attaining "realism" (relative term , I know), or didn't realize that the game is fully customizeable to fit your personal needs for realism, there are plenty of sliders/ AI settings in the game to accomplish this with. Here is a REAL good place to start learning about how these adjustments affect your game: http://football-freaks.com/forums/index.php?showforum=9 I finally have my AI adjustments set for MAdden 2005 PC after some in-game testing. I have since played three games (12 min quarters, accelerated clock, Pro level) and came out with some very realistic stats. These are the scores from the games played (stats not included sorry): (H) Chiefs 31 Colts 38 (H) Bills 17 Dolphins 9 (H) Panthers 20 Packers 27 Seriously check out that website. There is a lot of useful info there....

I'd be real careful about reading into a practice drill that the aired on a 5 second bit on Empire in order to support a crusade. That's just me though....

You're onto something vailid and significant there Mcbride, but with one disclaimer. The Yards per attempt statistic is used by NFL team "in house" quality control officials as a measure of the productivity of an Offense (as a whole), not so much as a measure of a Qb. Good research though nonetheless.

I think it would help if they trimmed the field turf.

I guess you didn't here that it's Drew's fault that Moorman's numbers have gone down because he's not "inspired" by Drew.

Tape Watcher/ live game watcher here..... Hi Did I miss something?

Thanks. That explains a lot then.

That was Shelton you are refering too NAVY but you are still right that TH has missed a block or two in the past 2 games. It's interesting, he either wiffs or completely levels his man.

Do you honestly feel you can make sweeping statements like this after a man has played 2 whole NFL games in his life?

Most Myopic Poll Ever ...............

Maybe we should ask the Right Tackle of the Raiders (you know the one that took TKO down by the neck in the endzone?) if he is a concern as a pass rusher....

The big thing I noticed re: the 7 sacks as R. Rich stated had to do with the interior of the O-line. On atleast 4 of the sacks, it would appear on a quick novice glance that either Jennings or M. Williams were playing poorly and giving up their man too quickly on circle rushes. The reality upon closer inspection though was that the interior line was getting pushed back into the area where the pocket should have formed for DB to step up into. Since that area didn't exist, the outside rushers were able to end their path in the quarterback's lap. On the rollout sack, DB should have unloaded the ball. On one or two of the remaining sacks, it's seems that DB held on too long while waiting for a deeper route to open up. Shelton had a missed assignment too as mentioned....

Nice Post. Stick around kid....

I'm interested :-)

I'd say it's more of an indication that the rampant negativity has gone way overboard, and has turned from constructive reporting to yellow journalism. Media entities who have no real understanding of the game making claims about positions on the team that they have no idea how to evaluate. Evaluating a qb is one thing, but things have leaked well beyond that.

The more pissed off and frustrated guys in the local Buffalo Press get (Allen Wilson excluded), the happier I am. Right or wrong they're obviously gonna trash the team regardless of the situation.

I know a hit and run when I see one, but you can't fault a guy for defending himself

Sorry I don't buy that crap for a second. My Kind? Was it the objective football analysis that I provide that provoked you? Or maybe my strong support for the team we here supposedly love? I'll be here when you come crawling back from the pathetic alternatives your life offers you. So sorry for actually contributing to this board from time to time you embarassing excuse for a football fan.

Ok Bye BYe then

I think Ole RJ took an injury or 3 in the red practice jersey ;-)

1st of all , Henry actually DID score from the 1 yesterday, skinny rookie TE in the way notwithstanding. Unfortunately , the whistle blew prematurely. 2nd, I'm amused by all this either/or stevestojan with these 2 backs. They are both quality runners and need to be implemented together over the course of a game. 23 TD's in 2 years does indeed reflect having a "nose for the endzone" BTW.

because it let us? :-)

hehe, I was wondering if you were gonna bring this up. No ,we're still on fair and square. My previous statement about his play yesterday does not mean that I now think he played poorly last week, because he didn't.

Henry played hard in both games and ran effectively considering the O-line play and the fact that the 2 opponents are 2 of the best teams vs. the run in the league. The INT yesterday was a bad throw, high and hard. This is not the area you should be focussing your hopes for change on IMO. McGahee has looked good so far too, but no better than TH. Me, I'm hoping for 2 things: Milloy's return and some pass protection.
