Today’s video is a two-parter. My custom (49ers moved to Vegas, baby!) team “The Rollers” taking on the Seattle Seahawks twice, and the same player returns a punt in both games.
Emanuelle Steele, whom you’ve never heard of because he is a generated rookie player, is one of the worst wide-receivers I have ever seen, but man is he fast. He’s my #1 kick and punt returner, and you can see why. In his first 3 seasons, he’s made the Pro Bowl three times, as a return man. He returned 3 kick offs for touchdowns in the latest superbowl I played. Fierce!

So in my first year of Madden 11 franchise, I took the Green Bay Packers to the superbowl. At 3rd and 7 in the 4th quarter, Aaron Rodgers throws a 52 yard TD pass to Donald Driver which makes the New England Patriots defense look silly.

Go Pack Go!

And this is why we picked him up from the Miami Dolphins. Hopefully he gets to do a few of these 88-yard punt returns this year.

View the video, my first Madden 11 punt return against the St Louis Rams. ;)

Here’s a little video of one of my first Madden 11 franchise games for the 2010 season, 49ers versus the Bucs. Huge pass from Alex Smith to Vernon Davis, endzone to endzone. It wasn’t the pass, but the yards after the catch that were crucial.

Kinda neat how I can save highlights, upload them to EA, and then embed them elsewhere. ;)

The Madden Curse. We’re familiar. We’re aware.

Congratulations Saints, but I hope you have a backup quarterback ready to go.

If I was Drew, perhaps I would have said “Uhm, yeah, thanks guys.. I appreciate it. But I’ll pass. Go hit up Jared Allen, we don’t want to play the Vikings anyhow.”

Take a look at the past Madden NFL cover athletes, and their fate that year.

Donovan Mcnabb tore the ACL and meniscus in his right knee

Ray Lewis had his season cut short in week 15 with a wrist injury
