Damn it.I had almost forgot about that..thanks for reminding me :banghead::banghead:

LMAO yup, not that i thought most would even bother commenting.

His veteran leadership will never be forgotten.

Briggs has been the best LBer on that team for a while now... Urlacher should have retired 2-3 years ago...

No one could ride a stationary bike like Zach Thomas.

He's done. I think he'd make a fine Raider.

I'd love to see JC juke him so hard that Urlacher dislocates his taint trying to shift.

PFF judgment has him being a brokedick.

Thats just about what i wanted to say, his best attribute was that rangy athletic ability you mention, availability and football intelligence... but he never really wowed me with a given facet of his game.

Not a blistering tackler, wasnt a sackmeister, yet he did get it done for a long time... rock solid but unspectacular, if i had to sum it up.

He probably got herpes from Paris Hilton, so there's that.

Brian Urlacher was a great player for a long time.

He's also even more proof that every position is beholden to QB.

Best years of career wasted on: Cade McNown, Jim Miller, Kordell ****ing Stewart, Chad Hutchinson, Kyle Orton, Rex Grossman and Brian Griese.

What about Dansby?

Evidently da Bears made him some sort of low ball ass offer totaling 2 mil and wasn't guaranteed.

"The Bears fired a coach who won 10 games last year, so it’s no surprise they’re taking a “just-a-business” approach.

But the way they treated Brian Urlacher on the way out the door borders on insulting.

Urlacher told Vaughn McClure of the Chicago Tribune the Bears offered him a one-year deal that topped out at $2 million, meaning that amount wasn’t guaranteed."

He had a great year, but he's basically a clone of DJ. Do you want two DJs in the middle of this defense?

I was struck by how shallow we are at linebacker. We only have six under contract. The only three that I consider locks are Hali, Johnson, and Houston.

The other three (Studebaker, Greenwood, and Sturdivant) are nothing to write home about and could easily be upgraded.

Even if we kept all six for a 34 defense we will likely need two more. But my guess is that we'll draft a couple and sign a couple free agents because I don't see us not trying to upgrade. We need one starter inside and at least two upgrades for depth, IMO.
