Rosenbloom > McNeil

McNeil’s article is all based on speculation and crap. I mean maybe Urlacher has changed his attitude over the course of his career, but whatever. Rosenbloom does a much better job of dissecting the situation and picking apart McNeil’s argument w/o attacking it directly. I buy Rosenbloom’s argument more and agree that this is probably a better time for this story to blow up than in Nov. or Dec or even worse, following a loss in the playoffs say like a certain TO/McNabb incident. I’d rather have Jay get all of camp to prove how tough he is versus Urlacher everyday on the practice field than for this come out mid-season.

haha

Jay said he wouldnt go at Urlacher anyway..
respect.. i dont understand why urlacher would hate Jay, hes his ticket to a ring

"Game 7 of the 2011 Finals.. 10 seconds left in the game, the score is tied up 92-92.. Kobe with the ball he drives in.. IS BLOCKED by bosh, Rose picks it up Runs it down Throws up a pass to Wade.. WADE SCORES! GAME OVER ! BULLS WIN BULLS WIN!"

I really don't give a shit if urlacher said what he said

Big deal. they play on opposite sides of the ball. guess what? temperatures flare. It happens to every team every year. Rodney Harrison/Tom Brady Strahan/Jacobs and most recently Steve Smith/Ken Lucas.

All players moved on, all teams became dominant.

interesting quote from urlacher...
"Jay is the leader of our team. He’s our quarterback. He’s our Pro Bowl quarterback and he gives us the best chance to win a Super Bowl, and I’m happy to have him."

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.

Might just be Halas Hall-coached Loviespeak

On the other hand, Cutler (as a Bears fan, himself) must be aware that, lauded though he is, the Bears will always be about the defense as exemplified by whoever is manning the future-HOF-MLB position, so I’m not worried about any clashing of egos. It just annoys me how much fuel is being thrown onto the fire over a comment by a division rival trying to stir up trouble.

Oh no he didn't

really say that did he? If Urlacher labeled Jay as the leader of the team that’s kind of disturbing. Is Cutler the best Q.B. the Bears ever had without even taking a snap? Yes. Offensive captain? Sure. But, Team captain, Get your mind right 54. Maybe Urlacher’s ready to call it a career.

He's finally showing some respect for cutler

But hey, urlacher is the captain of our defense and cutler is the captain of our offense, I think we have a good shot at the division this year

Marcus Harrison is SO overweight

that’s he’s been put on the Non-Football injury list.

Guess that other tackle spot belongs to AA.

which turns out to be a hidden blessing

Gives adams that starting spot and puts Jarron Gilbert in the mix as well.

Why?

Harrison performed well last year….

by ChiFan13 on Jul 31, 2009 8:41 AM CDT up reply actions  

yeah.

but so did Adams. And I’m anxious to see what Gilbert brings. and plus, he’s not injured, he’s just huge, and I don’t think DT’s are affected by missing playing time as much as other positions.

the claim is they waived him now so

he can hook up with another team… seems to me that waiving laroque and conley just opened up 2 roster spots… one for the kicker, and one for………….
