Official Countdown to Madden 13 Thread

It's that time of year guys, so I figured I would get this started. For those of you who don't know how this works, you post pictures or videos of the player/players with the jersey number corresponding to how many days are left until Madden 13 is released. I'll start

"The Goose" Tony Siragusa




One of the more engaging personalities to ever take the field. Entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 1990 with the Indianapolis Colts, and true to his beginnings, spend his career doing the dirty work as a nose tackle first in Indy's 3-4 and later as one of the personal protectors to Ray Lewis in the middle of one of the NFL's greatest defenses, the 2000 Ravens.

Often commanding 2 sometimes 3 men to block him, he and Sam Adams formed a brick wall that allowed the athletic Raven linebackers (Lewis, Sharper and Boulware) to run untouched from sideline to sideline blowing up plays and in the process setting one of the more impressive records in NFL history when they gave up only 970 rushing yards for an entire season without allowing a single 100 yard rusher.

Connor Barwin



After a gruesome ankle injury cut short his 2010 rookie season, Connor Barwin emerged with an impressive 2011 campaign to help bolster the Texan defense in the absence of all-world DE/LB, Mario Williams, into one of the league's elite units. Finished with an impressive 11.5 sacks and a franchise single-game record 4 against the Jaguars.

Anthony Toribio entered the league in 2008 as a little-known nose tackle out of Carson-Newman College. In the four years amassed since, not much has changed. Coming off a career year in 2010 (5 tackles (3 solo)), Toribio anchored the third-team defensive line and saw a grand total of zero snaps in 2011.

Vic So'oto



This dude had a great preseason last year and never really got on the field last season, hoping to see a lot more of him in the future.

Kelly Gregg even though he was very injury prone i still think he was solid for my Ravens.

Simeon Rice




One of the great pure pass rushers of last 20 years. Burst into the league in 1996 with the Cardinals and promptly posted 12.5 sacks. Had a reputation as being soft early in his career and being a liability against the run, but that changed when he went to Tampa Bay in 2001 and started to put it all together. Played the best football of his career in 2002 with 15.5 sacks, 9 pass defenses, 1 interception and 6 forced fumbles. He was the missing ingredient in the Tampa 2 and helped power then to a world championship with a 2 sack performance that should have earned him the game's MVP.

Defensive Rookie of the Year
4 Time All-Pro
122 career sacks
25 forced fumbles
5 interceptions

This guy will be a beast in the interior along with Mike Martin & Jurrell Casey. Led the Titans in sacks as a DT with 7 in his rookie year. Looking for big things from him, Wimbley, Derrick Morgan, Mike Martin & Co. Go Titans!

Yeah, Klug was the real deal last year. Just a playmaker. Definitely a hidden gem they hit on.
