Urlacher isn't the Bears defensive player to be gameplan around this weekend.... (1 Viewer)

Lance Briggs is. As I mentioned in an earlier post, Tommie Harris, the O-Line swallowing DT is out, so I can see the inside running game being prosperious behind Karney's lead blocks. Expect some good pad clashing between Urlacher and Karney. The outside runs, misdirections and short passes concern me with Briggs playing OLB. Think back to the Baltimore game. Ray Lewis is gonna be Ray Lewis, but Terrell Suggs seemed like he was always on the play. Suggs and Briggs are two superstar LB's that rarely get the credit they deserve because of their MLB counterparts. They are both heady defenders and instrumental to their respective defenses.
I am not afraid to play any team in the league and we can beat anyone when our offense doesn't give the ball away. As with every opponent, we have favorable matchups all over the field. Baltimore and Chicago's defenses are both aggresive and can win games on their own; we just need to watch out for Briggs. With that said, Coach P will gameplan appropriately and we will win this game... Geaux Saints.

Best way to neutralize an all-over-the-field terror? Run right at him. If we can continue to pound the middle and get Evans and Karney into the second level to attack the LBs, we will neutralize what they perceive as a strength.

And of course there's always ...

Rattling Rex Grossman. I'd LOVE to see him have a bad game. Blitz, blitz, blitz ... Oh, and score, score, score ... But I oversimplify ....

Tank Johnson is playing the 3 tech (RDT) and Ian Scott / Alfonso Boone would man the 1 tech (LDT / nose).....Ogunleye on the RDE and Alex Brown at the LDE spot.

Attack Safety replacement Chris Harris or Todd Johnson anytime those liabilities are on the field.
