Rating the players on the Redskins
 

Using the Madden scale (I know, scientific, are we not?), I wanted to put a number on each player, basically where they appear to be based on film over three weeks. I'm using the Madden scale because it's simple and people are familiar with it.

For those unfamiliar with the game, here's how it basically breaks down.

94+ = elite talent who is likely a perennial probowler.
90 = top talent within the context of the team they are on, a player that all gameplans account for.
80 = the "Kitna-Line", basically the lowest level at which a player should expect to keep his starting job. also the level where a backup "deserves to be starting somewhere in the league".
75 = replacement level. these guys deserve to be in this league, but either the team plans for them to improve significantly, or they don't really have a spot in the teams future.
below 75 = incredibly cuttible.

Obviously, I'm speculating a lot on the backups who don't play much, and I refuse to give Malcolm Kelly a ranking because we didn't even see him in the preseason.

Current largest weaknesses:

3rd WR, C, LDE (with Taylor out), 3rd CB, SS

Re: Rating the players on the Redskins
 

Alot of these ratings are low (portis 86?) are you making these ratings or are they on madden?

Re: Rating the players on the Redskins
 

Center looks ugly with both guys, according to this scale, "extremely cut-able."

I was a little surprised to see Pete Kendall with a higher rating than Randy Thomas.

Also a little surprised to see Andre Carter rated 6 points higher than Jason Taylor. According to this rating system, their ratings should be switched, with Carter as a very strong player, but Taylor the perennial pro-bowler.

I think Rocky McIntosh will be in the 90s before the season is over. He looks great right now.

Re: Rating the players on the Redskins
 

Moss might be a 94 before the season's over and Horton might be an 83

Re: Rating the players on the Redskins
 

Fletcher should be in the low to mid 90s. He is the heart and soul of the defense.
Springs should also be higher because he shut down bolden( Smoot gave up the TD).
Randle El is a good punt returner, he hasnt broken one so far this year but there is no way he is rated in the 70s.

He's great, if you consider running laterally and backwards good. ARE has done nothing to gain field position for us.

I'm with you on this one daseal. I've been waiting for ARE to brake one for a td for along time. Heck, i wish he would average 15 or more a return. It seems to me he was much more effective returning punts as a steeler.?

Your list was pretty good, I had to tweek some, but I didn't want you to think I was taking a poo on your list. The above are just my opinions.

Re: Rating the players on the Redskins

Re: Rating the players on the Redskins
 

Carlos Rogers 91?

WOW!
The highest punt return average for a career is Devin Hester with 14.05 yards per return.
I think asking for 15 per is a bit high.

Re: Rating the players on the Redskins
 

Moss should be a little higher and Durant Brooks hasn't proven he's an 84 rating yet, but everything else that jsarno made I agree with

Re: Rating the players on the Redskins
 

Just curious, what do you think Sean Taylor would have been rated at the peak of his career? 94? Higher? Lower?
