But I hate the way our identity has changed. We used to establish the run and wear teams down and try not to make mistakes, and weโd rely on our defense to keep us in the game and make big plays to put us in position to win. Kyle Orton might not be the flashiest quarterback, but the guy is a winner, and that formula worked for us. I hate to say it, but thatโs the truth.
Brian UrlacherI lead by example. But if I get pissed enough, I'll say something. It usually isn't rah-rah; it's more complaining.
Brian UrlacherSteve Smith, thats what happened to us. He just kept making plays. We had a plan. We never really doubled him. We ran a lot of Cover 2, and obviously that didnt work out too good for us.
Brian UrlacherIt's freaking football. There are going to be big hits. I don't understand how they can do this after one weekend of hitting. And I can't understand how they can suspend us for it. I think it's a bunch of bull.
Brian UrlacherAll I can do is go out there and play hard and try and help my team win, and that's what I'm going to keep doing.
Brian UrlacherYou know what we should do? We should just put flags on everybody. Let's make it the NFFL - the National Flag Football League. It's unbelievable.
Brian UrlacherIf you play angry, you lose what you're supposed to do. On defense we just read our keys and play fast.
Brian UrlacherHow great a life is this? To get to knock guys' heads off for 60 minutes and not get thrown in jail?
Brian UrlacherI like to think of myself as a regular guy, except I play football for a living. I try not to be an arrogant turd out there.
