That’s what the folks at Madden 20 — the annual NFL football video game released by EA Sports – think http://www.vikingsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-dru-samia-jersey , anyway.Ratings for all players in Madden 20 were released Monday night, and the Green Bay Packers’ quarterback was given an overall rating of 90.There were seven quarterbacks who earned a rating of 90 or above, with Rodgers as the seventh. Patrick Mahomes, the reigning NFL MVP, has the best overall rating at 97, followed by Tom Brady (96), Philip Rivers (94), Drew Brees (92), Andrew Luck (92) and Russell Wilson (91).A few of those names makes sense to be ranked higher than Rodgers. But Rivers? Luck? A 41-year-old Brady?Rodgers does, however, have the fourth-best throwing power in the game. Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen leads the way with a perfect 99 rating, while Mahomes is right behind at 96. Another Buffalo quarterback is next with Tyree Jackson (95), an unrestricted free agent signing out of the University of Buffalo. Rodgers comes in fourth at 94.Last season, Rodgers was one of seven players to earn an overall rating of 99 in Madden 19.Green Bay has to look elsewhere for its top-ranked player in this year’s edition. For the second straight year, left tackle David Bakhtiari was ranked 97 overall, the highest rating for any offensive lineman. Right tackle Bryan Bulaga is the Packers next-highest rated lineman at 85 overall.Following a breakout 2018 season that saw defensive tackle Kenny Clark set career bests in tackles (55) Daniel Jones Jersey , sacks (6.0) and passes defensed (3), the 23-year-old is enjoying a 90 overall rating.Safety Adrian Amos thought Clark could do better, though.The Packers have four players rated 90 or above: Rodgers, Bakhtiari, Clark and wide receiver Davante Adams (92). It might not seem like much, but it’s actually more than any of the Packers’ division rivals. Minnesota has three (Harrison Smith, Adam Thielen, Stefon Diggs), Chicago has two (Khalil Mack, Eddie Jackson) and Detroit has one (Damon Harrison Sr.).More Packers coverage from FOX Sports WisconsinPhotos of the Week: 7/21/19 – 7/27/19Packers rookie Gary’s biggest critic is himselfTop Tweets: Former Badger TJ Watt has impressive four-year transformationPHOTOS: 2019 Green Bay Packers training campPackers’ Rodgers, LaFleur ironing out offense, building chemistryOTHER OBSERVATIONS— If the Packers need a fourth option at quarterback behind Rodgers, DeShone Kizer and Tim Boyle, Madden 20 hands the job to linebacker Ty Summers, a seventh-round pick in April’s draft. Summers was a star dual-threat quarterback in high school in San Antonio and received offers from Ivy League schools to play QB at the next level, but he chose to attend TCU and switched positions. Summers has a 70 rating of throwing power and a 57 accuracy rating on short passes Ed Oliver Jersey , just 11 points below Boyle.— Rashan Gary, selected 12th overall by Green Bay in April, is the Packers’ highest-rated rookie at 73 overall. But it’s not by much. Fellow first-round pick Darnell Savage Jr. and tight end Jace Sternberger – a third-rounder – were both given a 72 rating.— Cornerback Tony Brown, who played 11 games with the Packers last season, was rated as the team’s fastest player at 94 overall. Defensive backs Jaire Alexander, Ka’Dar Hollman, Amos and Savage as well as receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling aren’t far behind at 93.— The slowest player award goes to right guard Justin McCray (55). METAIRIE, La. (AP) — No matter how much New Orleans’ defense may have improved since this season’s opening week, linebacker Alex Anzalone doesn’t see the benefit in dismissing as irrelevant the 48 points the Saints surrendered in a Week 1 loss to the Buccaneers.“In the back of our minds, if anything, it’s just motivation to be on your Ps and Qs this week,” Anzalone said this week, as New Orleans prepared for the rematch in Tampa Bay. “They do have a really good offense. They have a bunch of play makers, so we know what they’re capable of. There’s a lot of motivation for this game, but as a defense, that could definitely be one of them.”In Week 1 http://www.billscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-cody-ford-jersey , New Orleans’ busted coverages led to a 529-yard day for the Buccaneers’ offense, highlighted by touchdown passes of 58 and 36 yards to DeSean Jackson and 50 yards to Mike Evans. Tampa Bay’s offense accounted 41 points, with one Buccaneers TD coming on safety Justin Evans‘ fumble return.Yet the Saints defense that was on the field that day scarcely resembles the one playing practically lights out for the past month.The Saints have held each of their last four foes to between 7 and 17 points.“That’s huge in this league when you can hold a team to under 20 points, especially with the offense we’ve got,” Saints defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins said. “I’m going to bet on us most times.”Confidence is surging. Botched assignments are few. Sacks and turnovers have risen sharply. New Orleans has sacked opposing QBs 13 times in the past two games, during which they’ve also taken the ball away six times.“It’s been impressive,” Saints coach Sean Payton said. “As a coach, you’re encouraged because we’re receiving good end play, but we’re also receiving great tackle play and I think inside we’ve really been able to push the pocket.”Those recent performances have made New Orleans’ season-opening stumble look more like ancient history.“That was a lot of first-game errors that we had to work out,” Anzalone said. “It wasn’t necessarily who we were as a defense. It was just something that we weren’t locked in enough or didn’t execute enough to get the job done.”Rankins, a first round draft choice in 2016, is having arguably his best season with seven sacks. Five of his sacks have come since Week 8.Like the rest of the Saints defense, he did not have a sack in Week 1.If the Bucs study game video from their previous meeting, Rankins said, they’ll see the same scheme New Orleans us using now, but vastly different execution.“With the way we’ve been playing Devin Singletary Jersey , I think they’re going to have to try to attack us in a different way,” he said.Buccaneers coach Dirk Koetter said he sees a Saints defense that has “evolved,” both in terms of young players improving as well as with some key personnel changes, such as a mid-season trade to bring in cornerback Eli Apple from the New York Giants. Apple quickly took over as starter in place of Ken Crawley.“Their defense is playing pretty well at this time, all the way across,” Koetter said.If New Orleans’ defense has been consistent in one area, it has been against the run. The Saints have been near the top of the NFL in that department all season and rank first through 12 games, and that’s not simply because opponents are choosing to pass more against them, Koetter said.“They’re playing with the lead a lot, and teams are throwing the ball,” Koetter began. “Still, when you watch the tape you go, ‘Man these guys are pretty good against the run.’ I think their front seven is really playing hard.”Notes: WR Michael Thomas practiced fully on Thursday after resting his sore ankle on Wednesday. … Offensive tackles Terron Armstead (chest) and Ryan Ramczyk (shoulder) were listed as limited on the practice report.
