Also, more important than upper body strength for most positions is lower body strength.

Then how exactly did Donny Moore decide that Terrance Taylor is 78 str?

I'm curious. Did he have Taylor in for a private work out, which he then compared it to the private work out he had with Ricky-Jean Francois, where he then decided that Francois is indeed stronger than Taylor?

I agree, if you do 37 reps you should have a higher strength, but strength is a general term. Playing DT, you don't just use your arms. Lower body strength is MUCH more important. I don't care how much he benches if he gets pushed around due to having an average lower body strength. Bench reps is a good gauge, but it should in no way define someone's strength.

He mainly goes off of reports from scouts from a variety of websites as well as his impressions watching the guys play.

Obviously he can't get every player in for an individual workout and it would be unreasonable to think that he would. However this does not mean that he should go off of drills that have no relevance in the matter.

Oh really?

Link me to any scout that says Chris ''Beanie'' Wells is stronger than Terrance Taylor.

So, let me get this straight - Michael Oher, who isn't stronger than Taylor, gets a 95 str rating? Even Chris Beanie Wells is stronger than Terrance Taylor? Nitpicky, right? Well, maybe if the guy had 85 str, but we're talking about a 78 str rating, for one of the strongest DTs in the draft. Not the brightest guy in the world, by any means, but certainly worthy of a str rating above 78. Wow. I'd love the name of the person who does these ratings, so I can send him a quick email/PM.

If a player benches over 35reps they should be over a 93 in strength automatically. Loadholt did 24 reps and he has 94 strength. How?

Haha, OK. Link me to ANY scout that says Terrance Taylor is stronger than Wells. LOL Don't play a game of specifics, it's worthless.

Read my earlier posts. Bench reps are just UPPER BODY STRENGTH. Strength in Madden accounts for upper AND lower. If Loadholt dominates his opponents with is strength, who cares if he only did 24 reps?

[ImReady77]

no he dominates with his size. how does madden account for lower body strength? There should be a lower body strength rating and a upper body strength rating.
