The Interview
Brian Urlacher
MAN IN THE MIDDLE

The six-time Pro Bowl linebacker spoke from Bears training camp.

Dan Patrick : What did you think when you heard the Bears were choosing a starting quarterback, at least for a little while during camp, by coin flip?

Brian Urlacher : I wasn't too sure about it. But we've got two really good quarterbacks. So, whoever starts we're not going to be too bad anyway.

DP: Did you just read that from a script?

BU: No, but it's a pretty popular question.

DP: What does the success of your team hinge on?

BU: Defense. If we play good on defense, it doesn't matter who's playing quarterback for us.

DP: On November 16, you're at Lambeau. How weird could it be to look over the line of scrimmage and not see Number 4?

BU: I watched him quarterback there in high school and in college, and I've played against him for eight years. I can't picture them not having him at quarterback.
