This video got me pumped! I'm going to go outside and tackle my neighbor .
D. Ramirez stupid lol
D. Ramirez Lmfao😂🤣
I wouldn't mind tackling my neighbor, she's a hottie....
D. Ramirez please don't, I'm still recovering from the body slam taking the trash out.
Easy there gay boy.
Linebacker that had no weakness. One of the fastest LB in history, coverage, hands, pass rush, run stopping, leadership, & one of the all around best athletes ever at that position
They can both be good, you know. And besides, their stats are virtually the same if you normalize to the number of games they played, except for sacks, where Urlacher leads by a full sack per season. Lewis was the very visible face of a great defense with an offense to back it up, while Urlacher was one of the leaders of a great defense with a mostly lackluster offense.
aravindh babu big difference is mentality. You can tell Urlacher plays the game just because he genuinely enjoys football. Ray Lewis on the other hand is just mean to you
ginbo ray Lewis played more like dick Butkus, who had a more competitive mindset. I didn’t mean it in a negative way
Who is Zach Thomas?
@ginbo here in Chicago Brian Urlacher was a honorary brother so take that damn race card out the equation!
Man, what a great player. It’s a shame he never got a ring.
SportsOdst12 as a Bears fan, I really wish we won that SB. But at the same time, it would be really odd for Peyton to not have a ring with the Colts
SportsOdst12 You can thank Rex Grossman's bitchass for that
SportsOdst12 unfortunately a lot of great players don't have rings
Jon Davis Yup Bears would've won with anybody but that shitty QB
Steel Town yeah, but according to Pats fans you're only good if you have rings ;) lol
If the Bears had anything better than a Pop Warner little league offense in '05, '06, and '07. Urlacher would've gotten 3 SB rings.
no way, he wasn't smart enough
story of their franchise since the mid 2000’s honestly.
Bring home a World Series and super bowl in the same year... Chicago woulda been nuts.
The Bears offense has been consistently terrible since the 1920's!
@@ctcs9162 ok troll
I hated watching football with my mom when I was younger because she was a huge bears fan and always told me she was gonna make urlacher my stepdad 🤦🏽♂️😂
man, that's funny stuff. Your Mom is a cool lady.
Lol she likes what she sees
Lmao I grew up watching the 80s Bears and my mom use to say the same thing about Dan Hampton, lol
@@FrankensteinDC now she's moved onto Shawn Mcvey 🤦🏽♂️🤣💯
@@skitzofranicfreak sorry last one was not meant for this thread
Shit, when I was growing up watching football, there was Urlacher, Lewis, and then everybody else. Nobody could touch these two, and I'm so happy they get to go in together.
They were the greatest
And willis
Wanna know somebody Urlacher couldn't get?
Tom brady.
K bye.
DeadlyDerpDog wanna know a system quarterback with the greatest coach ever?
Tom Brady
Wanna know somebody Urlacher couldn't get, even though he ran a 5.28?
Tom Brady
brian urlacher and lance briggs were a dynamic duo for years. center pieces to many many great defences
Batman and Superman. cuz fuck robin, nless that tillman, yeah that could be tillman that makes sense cuz they were over there on that side. together...
@@buddylee8570Tillman was more than that. Honorable mention to Mike brown as well.
He makes Madden interceptions
I was literally thinking the same thing. No wonder madden has those bs linebacker picks. Urlacher caused it
He shoulda had 100 speed lol
in madden 06 07 if the ball came within 8 feet of him it was an automatic INT lmao
Lol
Period.
As a Vikings fan, this man is one of the best defensive players of the generation.
What the hell is up with people saying as a this or as a that? Who cares? Dude have a freakin opinion without some explanation of what you are. It’s valid or it’s not.
@@joee1213 chill
@@joee1213 I think he's just making the point that even though he's a fan of a rival team, he respects the players and the game.
As a 49ers fan with no interest in the Bears, it is a damned shame that Grossman was their QB when they played the Colts. That defense and Hester on special teams was good enough to win it all. Too bad the offense wasn't.
Paul Gaither even worse that year Brees was a free agent.
TheAnimationLads - Yep, and they beat his Saints in the title game. I doubt he would have wanted to play for Lovie though, as Peyton was a known offensive coach.
The Colts had the #32 run defense in the NFL that year . . . the field was wet . . . yet the Bears only ran the ball 19 times (they were ahead into the second quarter and within a TD most of the game) . .. they could have pounded the ball and likely won that game. I almost feel that Lovey wanted his mentor (Dungy) to go out a winner
They should have started Kyle Orton
@Drummajortsu Orton got them through the playoffs, but the Bears ownership was so hot on Grossman they forced him back in that game. There's a reason why Trent Dilfer was a super bowl champ, he didn't turn the ball over and scored enough points for his defense to play with a lead. I love Lovie Smith, but he should have known that team lived and died by their defense and not taken the ball out of their hands by giving it to Grossman.
"The Bears are who we thought they were!" Man....I still remember that game like it was yesterday. It's been way too long since the Bears have been exciting to watch. Just not the same without Urlacher. #Congrats54
This years bears with Khalil Mack brings back these Urlacher memories with these dominant defenses. Bears are finally fun to watch again!
Daniel Rakaric I personally loved Denny G saying that more so then Mora talking about playoffs
Me too! It is still very vivid in my mind. Urlacher was everywhere that game, if there was a cardinal with the ball Urlacher was right there. Unbelievable game one of his best for sure
"And we let em off the hook!"
Man as soon as I saw Arizona and the Monday night football scoreboard on the screen I could hear “THEY ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE” haha can’t believe it’s been that long ago! We getting old
Best Urlacher play, the one I most remember him for, was playing Green Bay and he overplayed a sweep that ended up fooling everybody when it became a reverse. Urlacher recovered, ran over multiple blockers to not only catch up with the reverse on the other side of the field but ended up turning the play into a 3 yard loss.
It was the single most athletic defensive play I had ever seen.
Most humble beast ever
Noahsusong bas rutten had to check him
Da Happy-fast bear
HUMBLE???.?Because of his big mounth ...he almost got killed by Bas Rutten. Whahaah
Because of Bas Rutten
He’s like a user linebacker in madden but actually does it in games
A true legend! So glad he was a Bear. Thank you Brian!
That dude was a straight BEAST!!!
If anyone deserves to be in the Hall it's Urlacher. I can remember his first season and thinking "who the hell is this BEAST!?". Just one helluva player!
Yeah, his acceleration was great. And he shocked everyone at the NFL combine with his strength, coming in first in bench press rep's, as I recall.
Dude my friend was a vikings fan and Urlacher just straight leveled them I'm like who the heck is this guy.
EIGHT SACKS as a rookie middle linebacker......😳😳😳😳
wish we kept that scheme kinda. or a 3-4 back in like 05/06/07/08/09/10...around then. just to see it go down is all lol. (he wouldnt be inside backer either)
Buddy Lee I feel like he’s Best as a middle linebacker and blitzing from the middle as opposed to an outside linebacker
That was a 43 scheme. I can imagine him playing a 34 edge rusher. He had the size to play the position
Yeah because no one payed attention.
After that year what?
A thousand times he walked up to the A gap like he was blitzing but he usually didn’t because he sucked at blitzing. When he did blitz he got picked up no problem.
So overrated
@@lagilbert67
Clearly didn't watch the Bears lol.
He got rejected by Texas and every top 20 college for a football scholarship too. Only New Mexico gave him one, and he was nominated for the Heisman his senior year, so every other college knew they blew it.
@Josh Clark To be fair, we don't produce "freaks" quite like Urlacher. They seem to come one, _maybe_ two, every generation - and that's on both sides of the ball.
@Josh Clark Good players, but they're not freaks like Urlacher.
@Thomas Hoffman Not many play as well as Urlacher did. Stay mad.
Naru 'Sanav Christian McCaffrey the new age
Loved wacthing him play for years..Briggs and Tillman! If we just had an average offense...maybe two three rings
probably the best linebacker in coverage ever
Miss u brian
Him and Derrick brooks
Ham, lots of others too.
Lance Briggs was also worthy of the hall of fame
Vanilla Guerilla he still has till 2019 to wait to be even eligible for the hall of fame
was or is.
Agreed but not first ballot. More like 3rd-5th
He was always in Urlacers shadow which was completely unfair to Briggs. He deserves as much as credit as Brian.
No. I'm a Bears fan, and Briggs was close, but not quite Hall of Fame caliber.
Brian is my fourth cousin, it's insane to see how successful he was in his career. He even made me cheer for the Bears quite a few times despite being a Vikings fan my whole life😉
Urlacher was amazing to watch. I swear he had better hands than most receivers.
As a Pack fan, he’s one of my all time favorite players, it’s a damn shame he never got a ring
Typical cheese head with the backhanded compliment
Whenever I played linebacker in football I would try and play like a few players, Urlacher was one of them. He was a beast on the field. #Elite #Legend 🐐🏆
Urlacher was one of the best he was always where the ball was
Finally a great video of Urlacher's highlights.
His closing speed was crazy
Urlacher for me was the middle linebacker God. Sideline to sideline speed, stuck his nose at the point of attack, great pass interceptor, unstoppable tackling machine, made crucial plays when needed. Bears had something special when he chased down Michael Vick towards the end in a game against the Atlanta Falcons. His first ballot HOF induction speaks volumes about the player and the man.
I'm a fan of players before my own team at times. He was amazing!
Man , I watched this and when my girlfriend friend walked in the door at home ..I tackled her for a loss..all the way back to the first pine tree !
Go Blue that’s assault, brotha
Heart of our defense for over a decade. Thanks, Brian.
I am glad i got to see this monster play 😎👍he will forever be one of the best linebackers to ever play.
This man literally made me a bears fan back in the day. I was so in love with his play that even him in a video game made me become a bears fan
Since he was drafted I picked bears on madden every year just cousin of him an the d fence
thanks Brian Urlacher for the memories ,one of the greatest linebackers to lace up for the Bears
He had every skill you'd want from a MLB.
One of my favorites growing up. I don't understand why there are people that say he's overrated.
He wasn't overrated. He was just treated like a God in Chicago and people get annoyed with shit like that.
Damn I miss havin dat Beast in da middle of the field
Im a Colts fan and Ulacher truley scared me going into that SB
Fucking Grossman ... Closest Imma come to a superbowl for a while as a bear ... Fucking Grossman
Fucking Grossman and Benson.
Did devin Hester scare you going into it
RC RACER 88 I’m surprised they even kicked to Hester 😂😂 most teams just squibbed or kicked out of bounce lol

Brian urlacher
Old Giants fan here, I remember watching that game vs arizona when at the end denny green gave the "they are who we thought they were" speech. Watching urlacher will his defense to victory that night was one of the few times a LB taking over a game reminded me of LT and the way he would do the same for the giants.
As a Lions fan whom got to watch Brian plenty being in the NFC North, I always saw #54 as the prototypical Chicago Bear. Just a fabulous play maker on defense. Great player and nothing but respect for him and his Bears' defenses.
Playing against urlacher during his prime made Rodgers so much better. Always a chess match.
Chadd Phillips I still remember when he picked off Rodgers and Aaron was lucky to trip him up. I think that play saved their season lol.
I remember when Bettis trucked Urlacher at the goal line, and when Tom Brady juked him out of his pants.
Jay cutler made Arron better the defense always was on the field
lord beef 23 oh shit!
son of Chip Whitley he probably did lol
No team was safe. What a man.
Wasn't alive yet to experience the '85 team and I know they had some greats but in my lifetime this is the best Bear I have ever seen.
Brian Urlacher, one of the few dudes on the Bears I respect as a Packers fan
I loved watching those chess matches because Urlacher and Favre/Rodgers back in the day. He read them better than any other linebacker in the game.
His range in coverage and hands were def the best ive seen out of linebackers
Because he was a safety....the size of a LB!
I literally wore 54 in highschool and played middle lb because of this man. Damn he should have gotten a ring.
He can get a ring if he becomes a coach but I doubt he wohld
@@bobjoe2448 Or if he becomes a team ambassdor as the Blackhawks and Cubs have done with some of their legends. Problem is there are way too many Bear legends! LOL
One of the best linebackers!
Growing up in Chicago Urlacher WAS the Bears, (especially later in his career during the Cutler chronicles) and for a kid seeing this muscle-tattoo bald guy mowing down cheeseheads it meant a lot. A lot of my school buddies modeled their play style after Hairlacher
Between UrlacherTillman Bears were assured an extra 1 or 2 turnovers per game
Don't forget about mike brown as well!
And briggs
I saw him play in a basketball game at the University of New Mexico; he is terrifyingly fast for someone his size.
As a Bears fan, one of my favorite players. One of the quickest LB’s I have ever seen.
Urlacher absolutely loved the game and doing his job. We don't see that kind of passion very often.
As A Packers Fan I Always Respects And Like Watching Urlacher
" 7:51 I saw urlacher waiting over there and I said shoot, I ain't gonna run over there" 🤣🤣🤣
As a Packers fan I can say that the highlights against us were pretty painful, but Brian Urlacher is the man he deserves the respect of the league! One of the greatest middle linebackers of our time! 👏👏👏
I never went out of my way to watch a Brian urlacher highlight film because I watched 90% of these plays live. But reliving these clips I watched as a kid makes me tear up this guy was incredible we should have paid him 100 million for one more year we did him dirty
A play that he doesn't receive enough credit for is the Mike Brown interception on the first play of overtime against the 49ers in '01.
Garcia dropped back, threw the ball to Terrell Owens, who peeked over and saw #54 in the area. Owens proceeded to get the 🐊 arms and tips the ball into the air, which clutch Mike Brown snagged and ran into the end zone to win the game.
Those were great times man
then he got hurt such a great player
Legendary linebacker...
A real Bear a real Chicago Bear for life. Thank you Brian Urlacher.
Urlacher was awesome. I just hope Briggs doesn't get forgotten because he certainly had a HoF career.
He was a great player, one of the best ever.
Truly one of the best.
Sit down Vick !
And his coverage is definitely why my receivers get clamped by linebackers in madden
I remember games where it literally seemed like the whole game was Aaron Rodgers vs. Brian Urlacher. Bears offense couldn't do anything. Even still, Urlacher would somehow manage to come out on top. A middle linebacker shouldn't be able to beat an all time great quarterback by himself, but Urlacher could.
marvinstheman88 that’s what great mlb do QB the defense
Those matchups were legendary. Urlacher vs. Favre was fun too, and in fact more fun for me because Urlacher usually wound up beating Favre and the Packers whereas they kept losing to Rodgers and the Packers (because the Bears offense sucked). No one read either Favre or Rodgers better than Urlacher.
I never thought the Bears would ever find a middle linebacker who could replace Mike Singletary and they did. Different kind of middle linebacker, and in some ways better (more versatile athletically.) He did the Bears proud tradition at that position more than justice.
One thing you gotta ad, the Bears have had some incredible LB's throughout their years
This brings tears to my eyes. Witnessed such a great career growing up. I miss seeing 54 on the tv, on my video game screen, on the backs of my schoolmates jerseys. What a ride. Well deserved Hall of fame induction.
True Lovington Legend, proud of my fellow Wildcat
Jesus Loves you GO WILDCATS woohoo
Thank You Brian for the memories 🐻🔽
Urlacher, Singletary, Butkus what beast of Bears LB. Favre & Culpepper must have hated playing the Bears in the 2000s.
I am a life time Packers fan, but Brian Urlacher is one of my favorite players of all time.
Urlacher was a true class act, an amazing athlete, and a great representation of Chicago.
With that said if I had to start a team between him and Ray Lewis, I'd take Ray every time. There was a leadership and energetic presence about Ray that was unreal. That's coming from a Bears fan too.
Great highlights package. I especially loved seeing stuff from his earlier days.
Definitely one of the greats
I've been a bears fan my entire life. Being from chicago but moving alot as a kid I always represented da bears. I always knew Urlacher as bald and huge now he's huge with hair. lol I gotta get used to seeing him with hair.
Urlachers bears always neutralized mike Vick. I loved seeing that
I was at the game they showed 2005 it was so cold my beer froze. at the time coldest game in history
Simply Legend 🐻🏈❤️
Best linebacker in NFL history
very fundamental linebacker
Urlacher and Briggs is like Lewis and Suggs. Great duos
Urlacher was the face of the franchise. Just awesome. Bears were blessed to get another legend in the making, Khalil Mack.
Such a great era of foot ball!
One of my favorite players and one of the best to ever play the position##muchrespectforurlacher
My favorite middle line backer
@Empowered CRB Brian Urlacher is my favorite middle linebacker, too
@@chrissmolik8091 he a beast, I can’t get that that picture out of when the buss ran him over in that goal line but he’s still my favorite
Brian Urlacher is the person who made me love football. As a child all i played was Madden 2007 and i always traded my whole team away just for Urlacher. My Hall of Fame game mode players were always Middle Linebackers. I admired him so much even though i am a Cowboys fan. I grew up wanting to be just like him. It wasnt until i was 13 that i learned that his name is pronounced Ur Lack Er instead of Err lah Cher
This channel can do it all
One of the only MLBS that deserved a superbowl and didn’t get one
I always loved watching him. The star of that defense
It's crazy how fast he was for a very big man.
Loved watching him every week.
His performance against the Cardinals in 2006 is the greatest game I've seen by a defender in my life. I was around for the 85 team too who had some good ones.
Lance Briggs and Brian Urlacher
Name a more iconic duo, I’ll be waiting
No doubt

That guy Urlacher
Easily the best defensive player on our team during the 2000s. Unbelievable that our front office would disrespect him smh.
yeah they shoulda payed him more for less!
Lance Briggs is up next!!
My mom is best friends with him and he is one of the nicest people u can meet, such a great player
He was everything we needed

awesome, but not nearly a goat
