The Ravens select Tony Gonzalez.

I feel that even if for one season, being able to play him alongside Todd Heap will add an interesting dimension to my team. Heap/Gonzo/Boldin, Rice/Keller should give me plenty of options to finally win a playoff game!

P.S: I'm not going to spend my entire saturday night refreshing this thread (just most of it!) so everyone can chip in..just try and keep this list updated and near the top. Quote my post to get at it.

Save this post when i take the South again and win two or more playoff games. i almost took Gonzo back, but it would take away from Moss and White. Hightower is young yet with B potential and his trucking is nice enough for me to work with. He will work well within the Falcon offensive system i have in place.

i still have nightmares of you using derrick johnson patrolling the middle.....

haha

I'm better with Ryans.


Nice pick Astro, my boy Casey from Rice was hard to let go of.

:lol @ LJ the FA

Browns up now.

Also, I'm editing my above list with the team names of dropped players, so that you can easily find out their attributes. Just give me some time with that!

:lol @ LJ the FA

yep i was looking at your roster and saw you pretty much had to let go of him b/c of the glut of riches at TE but he's gonna be huge for me, my current high TE is Pope, who is a 75 and borderline waiver wire fodder. and now i can move tolbert back to fb where he can make up for the pass-catching threat lost with hightower. I LIKE

 

[LukeSmith]

FYI: both players I cut, Raheem Brock (RE) and Ben Hamilton (LG) are available in the free agent pool right now.

 

[Rorschach]

You can't pick up FAs in the offseason

 

[Matrix]

Astrolad I have dropped Casey, he's yours to have when the time comes.

 

[Fifty]

Oops OK well maybe it's not a good idea to drop players. Because you can't see FAs on the site, so you can't check their ratings. Carry on without dropping yet! (unless your player was already picked, then it doesn't matter)

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

guys i just noticed that the #1 pick in last years draft is 5 years old. imagine what happens when he grows up!

well, the commish can assign players at this point

DM!

It's not about assigning players, it's about people dropping them and us not being able to see ratings online.

I'm on the tree siddy, but I can imagine this thing dragging on and some people wanting to check ratings from work or school.

Dunno... pretty tempting! Guess it depends on what Striker does and when he does it!

 

[BigAT]

Not that it really matters, but Ellis is listed as a DE in game, not OLB as he is in the FA list.

 

[Ramirez]

:lol :lol

 

[LiveWire]

How come there are players below 75 in the FA list? I thought it was minimum 75 rating? Fuck, if that's the case I'd have put good old Robert "Go back to McD's you morans" Henson on the board.

I knew I should have just held on to Parker, the list is mostly Linemen and trash again. =\

 

[LJ11]

Just got in, that's a pretty good FA pool.

With respect to DL play, I was playing MLB or FS the majority of last season and had decent results, but the sacks weren't coming. Switched to DL and blew it up with my DT's. Playing DT is tougher than some of you think, because it's harder to stop the run. All of my loses were due to my inability to stop the run, played pass first instead of staying at home. It's why I put up the sack numbers I did, but it's also the reason I lost to Crow.

Crow kept an extra back in at all times, I suctioned into his RB multiple times, he had a strategy going in and it paid off. On the other hand, I could have left the flats more open than I did because his back was in to block, so he had 4 man routes max.

It's a chess game, adjust to what your opponent is doing.

 

[LiveWire]

Eh, I'd be stoked if I get Flozell Adams. Then I can fuck with Wellington's D-linemen. What button is assigned to tripping, Right Bumper?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say he won't be there by your pick. :lol

did you even use parker last season?

and there are good players to be had. but i'm not going to point them out for you!

The 75 minimum was last season. This season, it was just 150 point minimum total.

 

[Ramirez]

Yup, I used him a lot in certain situations...plus my back up is Moore, and Mendenhall got hurt on the regular last season.

Don't get me wrong, there are good players, but the list is mostly made up of linemen and old players that will probably retire in a season. :lol

On the subject of this, has EA said anything about next years Madden even including a proper FA system and salary cap? I could totally see them skipping it again TBH.

i picked up an "old" RT last season and he absolutely solidified my line and helped me to pass for the most yards in the league (he was also helped by the drafts #1 pick, max younger, who is 5 years old according to EA's site)

regarding next season, we don't know. there may not be a salary cap in the real NFL so obviously that would be on hold for OF

 

[Ramirez]

Did he help you not get into the playoffs?

I keed

 

[LukeSmith]

Your team was second in passing in the league. I played Curtis Painter. You and your revisionist history.

 

[Birdman02]

And yet he's right back on the FA block this season! :lol

Did anyone confirm AirBrian's cuts, or did we just use the ones Fifty suggested (I'm too lazy to check for myself)?

I was all set to take Thomas who you STOLE one selection before I was set to pick. Instead I got Mike Gandy who dropped 6 points in the offseason, despite being 5 years younger than Thomas who dropped 0.

Boo.

 

[LiveWire]

Also, where the fuck is Striker?

 

[Fifty]

I cut for him. Alge Crumpler and a DT. He hasn't been around for a few days, and I don't know where he is. Anyway, they were really good cuts because he has 3 good players at both positions.

[FrenchMovieTheme]

we could speed it up in the future if upcoming people would send myself or fifty a list of the players they want.

obviously not for striker (he had no opportunity to see the last), but for the future!

 

[Matrix]

I'm so low down on the list I'm not sending anything yet.

I'd rather scrimmage, anyone want to play?

 

[Mrbob]

Lets do this.

 

[Matrix]

Fine send the invite Bob and get ready to face a depleted Texans team!

Submitted my picks to Fifty and FMT incase I'm not around.
