5 Teams You Should Be Looking Forward To Playing With On Madden

With the anticipation of Madden growing larger, we have made a short list of teams that should be fun to play with this year. In no particular order:

Washington Redskins
In Madden, you simply cannot go wrong with using RGIII. He's simply a dual-threat quarterback that is due to make big plays at any given time. With the style of offense that the Skins run, Alfred Morris is the perfect fit to help balance out the offense. This year, expect the Skins to be more explosive with the addition of DeSean Jackson. This will open up things for Pierre Garcon, Lenard Hankerson, and tight end Jordan Reed. Look out for the Skins.



San Franciso 49ers 

The 49ers are hands down the most exciting team that can be fun to play with from one side of the field to the other. On offense, the center of everything starts with the 6'4 quarterback from the University of Nevada. Colin Kaepernick is one of the most precision passers in the league. In addition to his passing skills, Kaepernick is a GREAT decision maker when running the option. Behind him is one of the most consistently overlooked running backs in the league, Frank Gore. Gore has rushed for over 1000 yards the past three seasons and looks to continue that streak. With options like Vernon Davis, Michael Crabtree, and Anquan Boldin, the 49ers are a threat anytime they step on the field. The defense side is equally as explosive. Justin Smith leads the way on the defensive line. The linebackers are a SICK group led by Patrick Willis, and Eric Reid and Donte Whitner are great at protecting the back end. Can't go wrong in ANY way with the 49ers.


Seattle Seahawks
If you are looking for the most fun defense to play with, look no further. This defense is the perfect balance for anybody. The Seahawks have a very good front 7, led by Bobby Wagner. With that being said, every football fan knows what makes the Seahawks the best defense in the league: the Seattle Seahawks secondary also known as the Legion of Boom. Byron Maxwell, Earl Thomas , Kam Chancellor, and Richard Sherman fly to the ball like no other secondary in the league. They are known to really squeeze and disrupt an offense's gameplan. They can  jam and recover when beaten by a receiver. Being as cohesive as they are , they know when to help each other. What seperates them from a lot of secondary groups is their ability to TACKLE. They can tackle like no other, which is not seen very often in the NFL.

  

New Orleans Saints
Two words to describe the Saints offense: Drew Brees. Throughout his career, Brees has broken single season records and career records. Brees has the record for most consecutive games with at least 1 TD, highest completion percentage, and the most seasons with 5000 yards just to name a few. Plus, with a target like Jimmy Graham, the Saints are at times unstoppable. If you love passing the ball down the field, the Saints are the team to use.




Cleveland Browns
Normally, the Browns would be one of the first teams that you would thinks to use (unless you are a Browns fan). However, in the 2014 NFL Draft, with the 22nd pick the Cleveland Browns drafted a player by the name of Johnny Manziel. So , now the Browns are on the list as a fun team to play for that reason. The thing about Manziel that fans love is his ability to make plays. This guy will make whatever crazy throw, dangerous run, and even tackle just to win the game. Manziel is simply one of a kind. In other words, Manziel will either turn out to be a bust, or a superstar. As for right now, fans should enjoy playing with him as a rookie.
