I really think the Secondary is going to be great! As for PFF, respect what they do, but a lot of their rankings are over the place, I don't think their outrageous for that ranking, but I just think the D Line is like in the top 14 range more than top 5.

@@StraightAMain yes 🙌🏽

Hey, all time, they are #1 or #2 for sure! But nowadays in 2024, I just don’t think we can say that with America getting behind a couple of these other teams. But still a very valid option.

Honestly fair! Didn’t even think about that aspect when making this video, so very good point! They would definitely be way higher in the rankings.

GO PACK GO! REPRESENT AMERICAS TEAM!🧀😉

Anything in particular? Always trying to improve.

Thank you for letting me know! I'm learning how to properly convey my thoughts and stay entertaining, but it can be conveyed chaotically. currently trying to make the next videos of this series a bit more honed. I really appreciate the feedback.

Thank you for letting me know! Currently going through the next few teams in the hope of making it a bit better!

That's fair! Thank you for pointing this out! I'm trying to make these videos as best as possible, so this feedback is great. I will work on that for the rest of the series!

Maybe so, I like Jameson, I think he’s a good talent. OTA’s and Minicamps are hard to get a good gauge of the players coming out of there. This is mostly because the information is very cherry picked or controlled where we don’t get the full picture. He could be a great talent, but especially with Amon-Ra, LaPorta, and the RBs, it’s going to be tough for him to break through. It would be cool to see though!

Completely fair point. I kind of elevate the offense with LaPorta, Amon-Ra, and then throwing in Gibbs with reliable backups. The point is, the team is so good now that the team’s “weakest link” is at worst slightly above average!

@@StraightAMain I don’t know. With the pick up of reader and placing him next to McNeill, I think we’re going to see that defensive line go off.

Oh for sure, the potential of the Lions is so real this next year. I am excited to watch this defense get out there and compete

You know, that’s a good question… I didn’t even catch that, I guess ESPN doesn’t have a fully updated depth chart despite most other teams updating for their rookies. Great catch!

I don't think the Steelers would be my first guess. It's definitely possible, but I think it's a safe bet that with his contract, Sutton will be around for one more season.

@@StraightAMain any chance he’s a guy traded at the deadline?

I think it's definitely possible. If the Broncos are struggling big time at that point in the season, Sutton will likely not be happy. So this combination could lead to a trade, but I would still lean to Sutton being a offseason loss no matter the season, mostly because Sutton is currently THE offensive weapon there.

@@StraightAMain ✌🏼

I appreciate it! May I ask where you believe my bias over shined? The video has an analysis and a prediction portion, so I try to balance the 2 appropriately. I don’t believe I was overly harsh or overly praising of the team outside of Deshaun Watson’s outlook. Which currently isn’t great.

I hope so too man! Love that team, and it’s been a bumpy ride since their SB appearance. That team has some serious potential, but I’m afraid there might be some close calls along the way!

Hey! I appreciate your comment and sharing your feedback with me. I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy or get anything out of the video. That’s not my aim at all. I am still constantly learning the best way to make content and how to approach videos like this. Is this the best way to approach this? Maybe not, but that’s why I do it, so I can learn how to be better with my schedule I have. I do it this way because more times than not, team outcomes follow trends and context. I provided the last 4 years, the talent currently rostered, and I make predictions and give information based on that information. If you notice when I talk about this current team, it’s not with the expectations of CMC or Moore, it’s noting past strategies and what this team might accomplish. If I expected the team to operate like it did with CMC, my prediction would be different. I do try to balance Entertainment and Information, and as a result, sometimes I lack enough of either. So I really appreciate comments like this so I can improve. Though I will say, I am still proud of this content and what it provides because it’s transparent and based on data instead of solely gut feeling. Most predictions I see don’t take into account what stats actually happen in the league and gives everyone a realistic across the board perspective. I hope this helps enlighten you as much as your comment helps me.

You might enjoy some of the other teams in the series because it does focus on teams who haven’t really changed as much. Though you might not want to watch the bears one!

@@StraightAMain Glad you took it as it was meant. I ask content creators to put themselves in the place of the listener (since there is basically no real video we need to look at here). I'm the angry audience wondering "why tf is he rambling about..." So I'll check out other vids. If there are differences I'll mention 'em.

Of course, any feedback is welcome. Though the phrase “no real video” is quite untrue given the historical data and facts behind it. Also I have to ask, if it was just my predictions, would that make it a video? Because that is what a lot of other content creators do, but I don’t see that being inherently good content. I at least wanted to be different and provide historical data based on previous season stats. But maybe that’s because the video content needs different format, what would you recommend?

@@StraightAMain Damn. I shouldn't write when I'm tired. I just didn't feel that running through the stats was any use outside of context. I'll give you an extreme example. some guy took the time to isolate what two QBs do, footwork, looking off defenders etc. _before_ either play-calling or lack of on-field talent destroy a play. As most people thought in the preseason, Bryce Young & C.J. Stroud may as well be clones of each other. If you blurred their figures so you couldn't see their uniforms, you wouldn't know which you were looking at. So the stats you showed are bereft of any such context. Again, this added to the feeling that you don't _really have_ a sense of what you're covering. You have the basic idea of what you *want* to cover. but the _way_ you;'re doing it doesn't seem to accomplish it. It also feels like reading a list. If you _don't know_ if the lack of on-field talent was a factor, then why even bring the stats up? You see? you Brought The Stats Up, then even you yourself questioned if they meant anything. That added to the feeling of you flailing. Yeah, it was there, we had to read it. But again, No Context & you yourself didn't give the feeling you knew what those stats meant.

Appreciate the comment. It’s important to note that I did not predict him to get injured. I noted he was injury prone now, but I do think that his poor play will be the result of him not playing the full season. Of the 32 passing leaders, 12 of them end being less than 3,000 yards, and I genuinely think Deshaun Watson is one of those players next season. I probably did rate his passing TDs low, which I noted, but those are hard to predict anyway. Injuries suck and can’t be predicted, but noting a player’s recent injury history can play a factor in stat predicting as well. I want the browns to do well and I think they will, so I don’t really have a bias for this team.

I respect the thought, they are certainly a team that could get to the 10 mark. I just see them landing right at 9 at the moment. Still lots of adjustments and not the easiest set of games. It does get exponentially harder to get to 10+, most teams don't get there, the top 8 teams in the league (essentially) get there. So I made cuts where I thought was right.

I gotcha! I appreciate you letting me know, I'll raise the volume from now on!

Completely fair! I think he's going to do awesome in Baltimore with efficiency. I just think between the depth and variety at running back, Lamar's ability, and Harbaugh's great coaching scheme that Henry's role will be about efficiency more than yards if that makes sense? I love the look of the Ravens next year, I think the (mostly) healthy season last year showed lots of potential, now it's about staying consistent and keeping the momentum!

@StraightAMain for sure I definitely agree especially once Keaton Mitchell returns. Just saying as far as them scheming against the king that they've never had to scheme against anything other than him really while he was with tennessee but now that's an entirely different matter all together and I think his yards might surprise everyone because it will be the first time in his career that they aren't throwing everything they can against him. I'm actually picking him to get around 1800 yards this season and as someone who's been a ravens fan since the beginning of the franchise I couldn't be happier

That's a bold prediction! I would love to see King Henry come back to true form. The Ravens will be one of the most exciting teams to watch next year.

I completely get that, it’s a tough call, it’s just my take for next season. Where do you see Drake London landing?

Thank You! Anything in Particular?

I went by according to ESPN’s depth chart online. If it helps any, I rank them pretty similarly. Aiyuk is a better pure WR while Deebo is a better duel threat.

Respect the opinion. The quality of the players they got doesn't seem impressive (but getting O-Lineman never feels like it in fairness). The Packers did fine without Bahktiari. Campbell was already a bit past production, so I'm just not convinced of the moves. It was a hard draft with their positioning in fairness. None of these teams bombed, it's just preference.

Thank You!!

🙏🙏🙏

That's fair, it was one of those best players available, just feels like the need really wasn't there. But I respect it enough.

@@StraightAMain Seahawks actually have much better depth in DE and in edge rush. Last year Seattle was one of the worst in the league in the run block. This was a great pick.

That’s fair, their rushing yards defense was pretty poor last year. But they just suffer from a bit of injury and age across the board, maybe it was because I still liked a lot of other players on the board, but it was still a fine pick. Defense was a bit weaker this year in general so they needed to get their guy.

Full Honesty, This take aged badly after seeing the Defenders and Panthers play this week. And the Renegades I've really bought into how well they looked, but they can't turn that into a win. Battlehawks probably bought themselves the 2nd spot. I think the Panthers could still compete, but need to see more.

Thank You!

Thank You!

Thank You!!

Welcome

Original schedule was to be out by today, but it is delayed by a couple days. It will be out later this week.

Check out the new post on the Community page to see my official update on the video: But here it is for you and anyone else that sees this! "Hey StraightA Community! I want to apologize for the Madden 2006 Imperialism Upload. I have had trouble with the Editing, Copyright Issues, and now the Audio Transferring to KZfaq. I am actively working on fixing this issue by going through and lowering audio in certain areas to see if this may fix the issue like others have shared with me. If this all works, you will receive Madden 2006 Imperialism tomorrow (2/4)! Thank you all for your patience at this time!"

Finally! Officially Uploaded with no notable issues I can see.

Dawsonception😲 But it is difficult to argue with you there. The Lions have been battered down and bruised for the last 30 years, and they definitely need a win like this. I won't argue with Lions at 1 instead of the Bills. I just sympathize with the state of the Bills franchise more after 4 straight Super Bowl losses and always coming short to Patty Mahomes. But... to your credit, at least they've had the Super Bowl and Playoff Opportunities, the Lions have never gotten those.

I appreciate the support! I love this stuff, and going through Madden History is so nostalgic. 2006 will be out Very soon!

I should’ve clarified a bit better there, I was referring to the end of their last season. In 2023, They “technically” didn’t secure the playoffs, so I tried avoiding mentioning that. But by doing so, I kind of mixed the Steelers point up.

Thank You! We're Certainly Trying to Gain Traction! We Appreciate Any Support!

You definitely have a point! They really haven't gone any weeks at full capacity. I guess I just notice the injuries more from the Offensive Side of the ball with the Jaguars. Another Resolution could just be simply: "Stay Healthy"

I love Wyattz World man, such a big inspiration to me, and I just hope I can provide a fraction of the insight and entertainment that he does! I’ll always give credit to those I gain inspiration!

Rashee has certainly been a Dawg this season. He has great potential to be #1, but either he needs to become that dominate force that others have become, or he needs better compliments in front or behind him to boost the team and himself even further!

I definitely could’ve worded that better, Tee Higgins would be the #1 receiver on half the teams in the league. The point was really meant to signify, “do what you need to do to draft or sign established O-Lineman” It would be best to keep him around, dramatic point that definitely could have been approached better. I appreciate you pointing that argument out!

@@StraightAMain thank you my boy

pin me

The First of 2024 too!🎉

Rams are Looking Scary! I wouldn't want to see them in the Playoffs!
