It’s Madden ratings season baby!
That leaves us with a question.
I mean, what else do we have to go on here?
So let’s have some fun.
Cairo Santos leads the way at a total rating of 274 with Seibert and Elliott next at 263.
Now you might think some of the defensive components are more relevant for kickoff return defense than others.
Cairo Santos
We’ll start with the overall leader here to get things going.
The biggest con here is that he is also the runaway leader in play recognition for a place kicker.
The second lowest rating by the focus group in terms of importance.
Right before the snap I’ll yell “IT’S A PASS PLAY!”.
That’s actually a half-serious, half-stupid question, half-joking question.
But think about it.
Wouldn’t it be easier to just train a safety to pooch the ball into the landing zone?
How much skill is really required here?
Why not have an extra defender for the very real possibility of facing a one-on-one situation?
I am half stupidly and jokingly asking.
But also half seriously.
Nick Folk
Interesting finding here for Nick.
That’s no longer a random typo.
Something is going on here.
Sharps clearly have intel not available to the public in the “Nick Foles moves” departments.
You might not like it, but this is what peak moves looks like:
POWER!
“Ryan Santos” of course literally translates to “Hispanic Big Cat”.
But only time will only tell if any of these Madden 25 ratings translate to the field.
And you know what?
I think Cairo Santos is still the guy most capable of establishing dominance as the DICK god.
Maybe play recognition is sneaky important afterall.
Maybe I’m just an idiot that doesn’t know a good DICK when I see one.
That includes Nick Folk’s “finesse moves”.
