Ogunleye may be the most over rated when it's all said and done, but right now #54 gets that label. Don't mean to dis your boy, and I'm sure you'll look to twist my words.

gilthorp Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 UIG, other news you should be aware of for this weekend is: Tillman gets the start at one CB, Azumah at the other, and McQ is going to be playing a lot of FS. Minimally, the scheme they had where McQ shadowed Moss in the last game won't be the reason if they fail. Vasher will stay as their primary nickle. Sounds like Azumah and Tillman will man each side and let the chips fall where they may. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilthorp Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 It may not matter. From the sounds of the local rag today, he's not hopeful he'll get on the field this weekend. By David Haugh Tribune staff reporter December 2, 2004, 10:32 PM CST From the middle of Brian Urlacher's left ankle to his lower calf stretches an eight-inch scar still containing some sutures from surgery almost three weeks ago. The Bears middle linebacker pulled up his pant leg Thursday to reveal the surgical handiwork, a visible reminder of his sudden vulnerability. "It looks a lot better than it did," he said of the incision. But looks can be deceiving, Urlacher cautioned in his first public comments since being released from the hospital two weeks ago Friday. Urlacher practiced Thursday for the second straight day with a protective soft cast but sounded anything but sure about his status for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. "I don't think I'm healed yet," Urlacher said. The injury report confirms that because Urlacher is listed as questionable, but more than one teammate predicted he will play if he can function as well as he has at practice. "I really don't know," Urlacher said. "Next week is pretty much for sure, but I don't really know about Sunday." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikesVikes Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Check out the topic I posted regarding articles from the Minnesota papers on the Vikes/Bears game this week. Rule #1 Don't ever make Randy Moss upset. Haven't they learned that by now? I've always said that the Vikings will have trouble with the Bears at Chicago. I don't think that anymore.

Fatman Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 he is a beast in NFL terms as well. 7-10 tackles per game is not enough???(this is a fantasy football site...right?) 589386[/snapback] Correct. But this is the Pro Football forum, which is more about real NFL issues, althought fantasy does factor in. As for Urlacher, the point is that he's not the game changing, dominant force that some have portrayed him as. Earl Holmes, Mike Peterson, and London Fletcher also put up lots of tackles, yet, in NFL tems, they don't have the same hype surrounding them. I don't play in any IDP leagues, but I'd venture a guess that they're just as valuable this year as Urlacher. Chicago has always prided itself as a blue-collar, no nonsense team, something that Urlacher immediately fit into when he as drafted. The year that the Bears were actually good (13-3), Urlacher had Ted Washington and some other fat guy clogging up the middle, allowing Urlacher to run sideline to sideline and make tackles. Now, with no dominant middle presence, Urlacher struggles because he's somewhat undersized and doesn't shed tackles well. Is he a good player? Sure. Top 5 at his position? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
