Well... the Bears won... big. 51-20. The Bear's defense totaled 7 interceptions, one short of an NFL record. 4 of those picks were taken back to the house for 6 points a piece. Devin Hester pitched in with a kickoff return touchdown as well.

Unfortunately for the absent Bengals' owner, Carson Palmer was injured in the 4th quarter (IIRC). I am not sure how bad it was, but hopefully it was very minor. Sorry. You can blame Tommie Harris.

Sometimes I forget that there is no focus bug to worry about, so you can really play Strong Safety the way it is meant to be played: as a hybrid LB/DB rover type positon. 2nd down and 4 or 5. Look for cheap underneath slant rout/dump off prostitution. 2nd and long: Defensive Tackle Ive notices that most people are either going to run the ball here, to try to avoid 3rd and long, either that, or play action, or medium pass play. ---I want to push the OL, into the backfield, and disrupt all of the above. 3rd and short: Linebacker. Plug the run, clog up quick slants, and underneath routes, jump screen passes 3rd and long, and all must pass situations: Edge pass rusher..with some pre-snap adjustments to some DL's along the way. I'll audible some of them to drop back in coverage from time to time.

Great tips Sport. I been doing similar stuff lately.

I have always been a D-line player in madden. I was having very limited success with this. So I started learning to play as the Middle Linebacker and it is making a big difference.

Hay Autumn and Crew. Im gonna be out of town for biz starting tomorrow in the AM, and coming back next Tuesday night. I'm not gonna be able to get my games in from the road.

Im thinking you may need to boot me from the league till Im back and let whoever has me for Wednesday play the comp or something. I should be good to get the Sunday game in on Tues or Wends though.


Just a heads up, let me know what you want to do.

Thanks for the heads-up. We'll follow normal procedure and do a temporary boot once the schedule dictates that in order to keep pace. Then, I'll send you an invite to rejoin; if you're booted you can't log back in without an invite, so check your messages on Live when you return.

And put in your backups . With the stuff you're doing now, I'd hate to see an injury while you're away!

Guys, my CPU crashed over the weekend so I won't be online much (aside from when at work) this week until I get the CPU back.

So, if you're scheduled to play me this week, just send me a message on XBL and let me know when you are available. Remember, I'm on mountain time, so that's 2 hours behind East Coasters. Typically, I can be found online between 2-5 p.m. and later in the evenings.
