Lance Briggs admits that it is very
different on defense without Brian Urlacher.
“I didn’t call plays before, and now I’m calling
the plays” Briggs said. “I’ve been spoiled for ten years.”
Briggs
expressed optimism about the team’s porspects and gratitude for the new
defensive coordinator. Mel Tucker is keeping the team’s core concepts in place
on defense, along with the terminology. The Bears added two new starters to
play alongside Briggs at linebacker in James Anderson and D.J. Williams who
will replace Urlacher.
With
Urlacher out of the picture many think Briggs will step in as the new leader.
Briggs does not see himself in that role. He plans to “continue to be me….just
more vocal”. Briggs also went on to say “You’ll get to know more, once we put
pads on.”
Briggs ended the interview session when asked
if he was surprised that Urlacher remains unsigned.
