#22 | A good running game is something the Broncos have and this year should be no different. The Broncos did lose a big weapon in WR Javon Walker, but they still do have Brandon Marshall. Champ Bailey leads the defense. You could also put Bailey in at Punt returns to give him the opportunity to make more plays. That is if EA actually had a kicking game that worked.

#21 | The only reason the Bears are even rated this high are their defense and Devin Hester. Their offense will be very weak. Their quarterbacks are terrible, and their WRs are average. But their TEs will be very good. Greg Olsen created matchup problems last season when he lined up at TE because of his speed. You could also motion him into the slot and he’d burn a LB. Hester will have the speed to get open, but who will throw him the ball? Rex Grossman and Kyle Orton aren’t very good but both have good arm strength. Rookie RB Matt Forte could be the starting runningback over Cedric Benson. Their defense should be back to form after a down year last year.

#20 | This team has lived by their defense for years. It’s a little long in the tooth at this point but should still be very good in Madden. Their offense is what usually kills this team and it will again this year. Willis McGahee is the best player on offense and will have a high rating. The question comes in at quarterback. Steve McNair has retired so it’s up to Kyle Boller or rookie Joe Flacco to pass the ball. At this point we don’t know who will be rated higher. TE Todd Heap is still a great target to have as well.

#19 | Their defense will definitely take a hit without Sean Taylor who was a complete monster in Madden. Their offense has good Madden players. Campbell has a strong arm and has the speedy Santana Moss to throw to. They also drafted Devin Thomas who has 4.4 speed. TE Chris Cooley is one of the better TEs in the game. And Clinton Portis and Ladell Betts compliment each other well

#18 | The Cards aren’t very good in real life, but this is Madden where having good weapons on offense can carry you. Kurt Warner is a solid player in Madden but what makes this offense go is its WRs. You have Boldin and Fitzgerald on either side, and they have a pretty good TE in Leonard Pope. Let’s not forget about Edge in the backfield running the ball. A very good offense for the Cards and they should be tough to stop |
