Thanks. The following is the input from Bernini on Wisconsin's roster... let me know what you guys think of these recommendations. I thought he did a fantastic job, and this should help make Wisconsin the pesky thorn in teams' sides like usual
Quote:
I know you said no changes to existing playing ratings, but what about just lowering one player's? Shane Carter (awful tackler, poor instincts/awareness, reacts slowly, average quicks, good leaper, fast, agile, good hands) sucked last season and should be closer to an 80 than 92. Our top rated player? Gimme a break.
To counteract give TE, #89, Garrett Graham (great hands, instinctual, adept at route running, pretty agile, more quick than fast, determined, not a YAC guy really, medicore leaper, average blocker) an 87 rating or so. 70 is a complete joke. He's basically better than all our receivers and we may line up Beckum at wideout, with Graham at TE as a result.
Free Safety, #21 Chris Maragos (ballhawk as former wideout, seems to be in the right place at the right time, smart, reacts/moves quickly, can leap, average speed, questionable tackler) , is not on the list. He could overtake Shane Carter. I'd rate him about an 85.
The absence of RB, #30, Zach Brown (quick burst although doesn't really have long speed, shifty, good vision, stamina appears an issue on long runs, reliable pass catcher out of backfield, above average power although below Hill/Clay/Dayne) ; is a huge oversight. He'll be the backup tailback in a loaded group. 89
#84 Lance Kendricks should be switched from receiver to tight end.
#87 WR Daven Jones switched to 13.
The Badgers have no receiver who wears #2.....I'm not sure who it's supposed to be. His ratings fit #3, Maurice Moore.
#7 Kyle Jefferson (great long speed, struggles getting off the line initially because of lack of quickness and grossly inadequate strength, is tall and plays tall, average route runner, iffy hands, not elusive after the catch, agile for height, fragile) isn't listed anywhere yet most likely will be the Badgers' #1 receiver. Give him an 83 rating.
#1 Nick Toon could be a factor at wideout (superb position instincts, smart, average speed + quickness, average YAC, fantastic route runner, catches passes at their summit, good hands, makes highlight catches, strong for wideout). Rating: 81
#5, RB, Lance Smith probably will play slot receiver next season.
#85, WR, David Gilreath (extremely quick, 4.37 timed speed, fairly elusive but not overly shifty, plays with high center of gravity for a small guy, as a result is very fragile, below average route runner, solid hands, not really instinctual, collapses on contact) isn't listed. He'll be the team's primary punt returner and possibly 2nd receiver. 82
#59, "DE", Brandon Hoey is actually a DT who probably has a career ending injury. Replace him with #50, O'Brien Schofield (good get-off, can laterally recover to secure ballcarrier, above average against pass, liability against rush, not really instinctual, when OT lacks on it's difficult for him to release) , who should be rated 80.
#90 and 98 aren't DT's. By #90, they might mean #79, Jeff Stehle. 4th DT is #45 Daniel Moore (very quick off the ball for DT, agile, undersized, mediocre at shedding blockers, can get bullied, good awareness) who should receive about a 77 rating.
#12, SS Jay Valai (always around the football, fairly comfortable in space or around LOS, plays nasty, athletic/quick for strong safety, ball skills are a question, plays man and not the ball, average strength but is pitbull) isn't listed. He'll start over #8 Aubrey Pleasant. 86 rating. I don't know who SS #39, is.
P, #95, should be #96.
They have #7, CB Aaron Henry (quick, fluid hips, average leaping ability, average size/strength, average speed, very aware out on the field, great ball skills, fights man at line of scrimmage and in air, solid helping against the run) listed as 4th on the depth chart. He's a clear starter and his rating should be about 88. 71 is a joke.
#31 Prince Moody is a non factor at corner. #23 Mario Goins will be the 3rd corner. I think #14, True Frosh, Marcus Cromartie (rangy corner, reacts/moves rather quickly in spite of height, fluid hips, legit 4.4 speed, aware, below average ball skills, is light for a college corner) has a great shot at being the dime corner. Rating: 78
I have no clue who 58 and 62 are at center. #74, Jon Moffitt (listed at LG) is actually the starting center now.
The kicker is actually #18, Phillip Welch (mediocre distance and accuracy). He's looking a bit like a liability now....I'd give him a 70.
I'm guessing by the QB #15, they mean true frosh #10 Curt Phillips. Big time rushing threat in the Tim Tebow mold.
Bump ROLB #40
