This was supposed to be the comeback year for Urlacher too. That was all the hype during training camps here in Chicago was how Urlacher looked like he was in shape and back to his old playing speed again.
It always sucks seeing a key player for a team to go down. Sucks for the team and for the NFL. Unfortunately, thats the risk you take playing a vicious game and have to love every minute of it.
What I have seen is a lot of people (not on here) downplay Urlacher for sitting out because of a dislocated wrist. Some people just don't get it and are so quick to jump on someone's back, not knowing the severity of something. "Wrap it up...its just dislocated
explicit"
It is so bothersome to see, especially since some of the people I KNOW have said it and have never played a down of football in their life.
Whew, end rant. I hope Urlacher has a quick recovery. He is a great player and the Bears defense WILL struggle without him.
Did anyone catch how much we actually started running up the middle when Urlacher was out?
