pat watkins released from cowboys

Its funny how such a small NFL move has such a big effect in Madden.

I'm gonna miss him. lol

It's a sad day in the life of a Cowboy's Madden fan.


You better use him while you can

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! idk who to user now

User Awansuah or w/e & Have Ball at SS

User Michael Hamlim. Seriously.

Don't care about pat watkins, I found him the most useless player on the cowboys dept chart , I user Newman, his speed can get me around the field easily, and he will pick anything, anyways, Pat Watkins gone, doesn't make a big difference

Bite your tongue when you speak of Pat Watkins! jk he struggled in his later years but can't argue with 6'5

exactly..he can easily defend RCs

Yea, but no1 can get rocket catching down this year, and what use is 6 foot 5if he can't get to the action areas and is constantly getting beat dip, Newman is definitely the better player to user, I still wonder which team will sign him up now.....
I'm also shocked about the amount of people using the jets online, I've only played about two people using them and those were fairly easy wins for me, for a 90 overall team, they are pretty poor, even with Antonio cromatie

1. u must not play ppl that know how to RC well (gibs and jaynizz RC over me faithfully when the opportunity comes)
2. u must not play ppl that are good at usering the safety(once again..gibs is a monster at usering watkins and im good at usering watkins myself and i mainly get beat deep when i make poor decisions such as going for the pick when i should b swatting it)

and like wang said. pat watkins' size allows him to pick the ball when he's further away from the defender whereas a 5'10 safety would have to be closer b.c of the height differential

Alan Ball at FS is the answer. He's faster than Watkins, and only gives up a couple inches of height. It's an even payoff.

Or the Answu-Ansah (sp?) kid. He's no slouch either...Just depends on if you rely on your FS for solo tackles or to filter it back towards the LBs on runs.

yea im usering owusu-ansah now since hes faster and ball has a higher ovr so ill CPU him

Ezek, OVR for a team really doesn't tell the true story of teams..

Example: Raiders.

LoL Yeah.. Exactly.. Bad advice Ant!! I wouldn't even have him as a 6th string CB..

Trust the raiders aint that good. None of them can catch,They off line is bad also

likin the new sig dolla

You don't need speed to user someone. I like his height and his hit power. If you have stick, you can utilize slower players no problems. Like this kid on the Seahawks, he's 6'3 82 speed, some SS from VT. Chanlor something. Kid is a beast. If only the Hawks had a d@mn QB.

Ok, Wang I agree, the raiders are one of the toughest team in madden 11, People that use them just play man defense, it's incredibly annoying, their players barely get beat deep,

ok, and maybe usering a big and slow player is better than usering a small and fast player, but i'm not going to change my ways, I just played a guy and I made 2 user picks with Newman

No one isn't better than the other, i'm saying you should be able to utilize both. I leave Newman at FS, usering him is cool, but he makes plays by himself. Hamlin is a nice cat to user because of his hit power. Losing Watkins is big though. I didn't even user him. He was one of my key back ups. Losing him is making me find a new squad to run with.

OK, jst saying, I played Tyler today and made 5 user picks and about 4 was with Newman, I would have probably made 1 and maybe 2 if I usered Watkins, as I'm not a blitz heavy guy, except to throw my opponent off his guard... and Some of us who have played Tyler know how good he is

thanks ezek and by the way it was 15 min quarters so i did throw a lot of picks but it wasnt like 4 min quarters still though im disapointed i tried running this play and i ran it too much and ezek realized i was running it and made some nice user plays (or should i say great like that one with your LB i still can believe you got to the throw in time but nice job) and played a great game once again good game ezek i saw that your user skills got a lot better since last game good work man

Tnx Tyler, but I really must thank Zfarls, he was the one that told me the way to go was to user a free safety, I always taught it was too dangerous, because if I made a mistake I can easily get beat deep, but it doesn't seem to be happening, so again thanks to zfarls and maddenbible in general
