Madden 11: Free Agency Making Some Teams More Intriguing

Lmao yea I mean the guy is probably going to have a big positive impact on the Jets. It'll be nice to see an interception but on the run back the dark side of my brain will be thinking, "maybe a hamstring tear, achilles tendon tear, hmm?" On a side note I hope LT has some gas left, he's going to have a better line in front of him this year. What do you think LT is going to be rated in Madden 11?

well hopefully with the new CDT teams that just got big men will have a big advantage, i think the eagles from an offensive standpoint with or without Mcnabb is going to be nice. i hope our safeties and lb shore up.

Chester Taylor is really going to help the Bears run game IMO.

He is older but due to low carries he still has a lot of good miles.

I really think he will compliment Forte and change the Bears run game. We really didn't have a good number 2 back and in the NFL today it means a lot to have two good backs.

Forte was AWFUL last year. Have they said if Chester Taylor would be the starter? He probably should be until Forte shows something after that atrocious season. It was definitly a nice pickup by the Bears.

i think the key for the bears will lay in the lap of Cutler's ability to get rid of the ball smartly and his cohesion with his recievers who all are young or inexperienced.

I think he won't be any lower than 85 overall but, I hope he can run behind arguably the best run blocking offensive line in the league. He has no more excuses unless he gets injured but, I hope he does well and at least gets close if not breaks a 1,000 yard season. LT will always be a known as charger but, It was time for him to move on. He had 730 yards behind a 31st ranked run game and missed 2 games and didn't play in week 17 going into the playoffs so Its not completely out of the question.

I believe it was more of the O-line than Forte(not sure if forte has had any serious injuries). That O-line is in CHI is horrible right now. Walter Jones at LT definitely didn't work out. Matt had almost another 1,000 yard season behind that horrible O-line but, his average yards aren't to sexy. You gotta remember though he had a 1,200+ yard season his rookie year(2008) and only had a 3.9 avg compared his 2009 3.6 avg. Also his receiving game is almost identical from his rookie year.

Yeah Forte's got sick pass catching ability out of the backfield. In 08 he saved my fantasy team, unfortunately he didn't help my dad as much in 09.

Also when I looked at his stats it was a quick glance and all I saw was that ugly YPC. I didn't factor in his receiving stats.

Yeah, as fore mentioned, the Packers losing Kampman is no big deal. They has a chance to match the Jags offer and declined. When we moved to a 3-4 Kampman didn't transition well at all.

Brad Jones the rookie OLB stepped in for him at linebacker when he got hurt and there was an immediate improvement. He's a great pass rusher with his hand in the dirt, and well be a nice addition to the Jags who run a 4-3. If the Pack was still running a 4-3 there's no chance they would have let him leave.

You might see GB try to add some depth at OLB in the draft but the D-line is Green Bay's deepest area. Loved Kampy here in Wisconsin, wish him the best, but he had become a square peg in a round hole in Dom Capers defense.
