After one year playing it looks like Joe Thomas is the best lineman
Actually steve hutchinson is the best lineman with a 98 overall
I am a browns fan and i watch every game joe thomas is a men among boys on the field
Yes I'm a browns fan to and not trying to be a homer but Joe Thomas Eric Steinbach combo might be one of the best weak side combo's in the league they are amazing next to each other.
Hutch has the best overall but if you break down all the stats it looks like Thomas, is better
like come on look at that passblock, 97/97 compared too Hutch's 90/84
Look at the guys from last year compared to 2 years ago. D-Brick gets no respect versus Joe Thomas who is already being annointed as one of the best in the game. Also the Vikes have a proven left side of the line... San Diego is overrated as are the Giants... and the Patriots by a slight bit (they got burnt by NY's D-Linemen).

The giants 0-line is not overrated they played a huge [art in their run to the superbowl, if it wasn't for them they wouldnt have made i there or have made the good blocking on the game winning td pass in the superbwol
Wow denvers line is terrible, and there two best lineman in this game barely played last year.
BOO!! Jags line is better than Giants ALL DAY!!!

U know wat? I can't really say anything the Giants...They're the SB champs, they worked very hard for it. They beat The best team in NFL history superstar wise. But im beginning to think they are a lil overrated with that stacked 0-line, especially Shaun O'Hare... He should be a lot lower than that. I never even heard of this dude before until last season, and he's 31 lol. Joe Thomas is a beast, I can't wait to start my Franchise with the Browns. They're everything I want in a fran. team. Big strengths, some weaknesses that I can work with(Defense) and they have a lot of young talent. Not to mention I always liked their Uniforms. This is going to be fun...
Erick winston should be rated at least a 86
dont youll know that the texans only gave up 23 sacks last year!!
Well not very good for the Steelers but I expect Kumo to go up upon roster update.

Honestly, if your strength is 87, you will be run over by D-Line or even linebacker (Ryan Clady)

Wow! so many overrated O-linemen! They probably did this for those Franchise fantasy drafters like me who can't ever get a decent o-line because all the best ones are drafted in the first few rounds.

Chester Pitts and Eric Winston both got snubbed.
yeah texans only gave up 23 sacks last year.
Long is rated well, but Gosder Cherilus is the only other first rounder above 80. i know some of the others are at 79, but is there a like for Cherilus and Madden?

Way too many 90's
Why is joe stalys rating so low
No love for staly
So far looking at the ratings, D'Brick is the only person on the Jets roster that Downgraded. Is he the BLAME for our bad season? No one else on the jets seem to be affected by Last year's bad season but him. Basically everybody got an upgraded rating. Solid oline could be dominant. C'mon ea
Can you tell as what weapons they have plz.
Lol Texans line sucks again
Nice to see the vikes getting sum love up front
Sweeeeet
Ok I am confused rookie of the year AP only went up 10pts P-will went up 11pts but Joe Thomas went up 14pts. Yes he is a good lineman but going up more than AP and P-Will I am not too sure about.
Alright 9ersfan4life i found out that youll's qbs all together got sacked 55 times and the texans line only gave up 23 sacks.... and your saying our line sucks!!
our line played wayyy better but madden sucks at rating our line.
Well I'm proud the chargers offensive line is good it'll help LT in the running game and Phillip rivers in the passing game and overall the offensive lines were pretty good and I appreciate the hard work to get these out to the people
Next I wanna see the defensive tackles and linebackers so I can see how Glenn Dorsey and sedrick ellis are rated and how ray lewis is rated
For those SI people. Dr. Z grades linemen after watchin their film and said Joe Thomas was one of the best linemen overall last year, although as a browns fan i'm a lil stunned he is THAT good. To be honest, I'm the fantasy draft guy who loves building up an amazing o-line since it starts with the blocking and actually makes a difference in the latest Madden games. It's nice the hogs are gettin some love in the gaming world now.
Looks like Buffalo is screwed with Jason Peters..Might be amazing in the game but whats the point if he isnt showing up for pratice?

I'm sorry...but I've made it official now and if I DO decide to venture online, I'm using the Jags. When your favorite team's (Lions) best lineman is rated the same as your next-favorite's worst, then loyalties are thrown out the window. Especially when said other team has a QB and two RBs in the 90's.
I love my Lions, but I'm not THAT much of a masochist to use them online.
Ryan Clady couldent be a fukin 80, and so if u get a season ending injury you go down 6 points, Ben Hamilton and Tom Nalen got SHAFTED
and if Ryan Clady is the second O-line picked in the Draft how come hes lower than Branden Albert who was a 15 pick, and Clady is worse than Chris Williams who was 14th pick??? Why is he so low if he was picked higher than the other 2
Sry, Picked before the other 2
Wow, madden is Homofuckinsexual
I'm pretty sure they are all overrated so offense would be a little easier; there won't be 20 sack games against the cowboys. That's for sure
Eugene Amano is underrated
LET'S GO DOLPHINS!!! This was our biggest problem last year (next to QB, reciever, and DB problems lol), but were making big moves for bigger and better things in the 08-09 season!!!

Look at that Giants line baby....too bad brandon got screwed over
looks like the patriots are all reved up offensive wise...yippyy >_>
Ok Packers should have a higher inside rating cuz Brett only had taken 15 sacks all season and in the NFC shampoinship game the Giants Line wasnt that big of a factor like it was against the patriots so come on plus Grant had 5.1 ypc just alittle love would be nice like spitz 90 wells 88 and coston 87 would be nice plus Clifton and gave up one sack all season thats unreal and tauscher had like 3 unreal
BROWNS top 5 o-line in madden wow BO BROWNS!!!
Hells ya the browns kick o line some @ss i cant wait to run with jamal lewis behind them madden 09 is gonna rock
Joe staley is awesome another year like 07 and he could have a pass blk rating like jeff saturday and be 92 ovrall, and chilo rachal should not have a higher run blocking rating he never allowed a qb sack while he started!
I think it was in overall pretty well rated.
Well Big Ben is going to get killed, that o-line is sick, Ben got sacked 47 time, so i guess madden thinks the o-line hasnt got better, second year with a new coach. When madden get a chance to kill us, he murders us.
On a whole these rating are all messed up. i hope on the first update they fix it.

Dont let the overall stats full u, because balt. run game will still be good.
the vikings are overrated and of course no one will get to tom brady again in 09
Did I really just read a couple of people comlain about Joe Staley being underrated? He gave up NINE sacks at RT. That is pathetic. And somehow he's rated a 90 in passblocking. Eric Winston only gave up 3.5 -- a top five number -- yet he's only 85 in passblocking. that makes perfect Madden sense. Those losers rate on draft status not performance and merit. Winston's overall ranking is a joke, 27th best right tackle. Has anyone at Madden ever watched a football game?
Wtf why do the pats have such a good line.....did they see how many times brady was rushed,hit, and sacked in the superbowl...although he had major time in the regular season
The raiders have a underrated line last season they were like on a 3 game streak without giving a sack
Thefatlady:shut up moron! joe staley may have allowed 9 sacks but considering how many times smith, and dilfer were sack all together thats impressive, staley was rated 77 ovr in 08 with a pass block of 86, so 90 isnt that much higer. go 49ers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How does the Eagles line get so good? Didn't the Giants tie an NFL record sacks in a game against that very line?
The Browns Offensive line has to be the best. Look at them all 89+ and under 30years old. Hank Fraley? 20 years old and not a rookie?
Whats with the broncos line? Clady 79? And Hamilton and Nalen are way better than that even though they didnt play much last year.
Sf49ers2180, shutup pole-smoker. I'm sure all nine of those sacks were the QB's fault. The point, mongoloid, is that nine sacks allowed should not result in an increase in pass-pro, while Winston, who gave up a third the sacks, is five points lower. Idiotic.
