Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher made an appearance on Chicago’s ESPN 1000 radio station today. He discussed the problems with the grass at Soldier Field and had an opportunity to fire back at Cinicinnati Bengals linebacker Dhani Jones.
First off, Urlacher talked about Bears president Ted Phillips referring to the playing field at Soldier Field being a home field advantage. Urlacher said that the field is a “disaster” and its not true.
“The weather I think is the biggest advantage we have against teams that don’t play in our weather,” said Urlacher. “But we’re a fast defense. You put us on that FieldTurf eight home games a year? We’re going to be really fast. You put [Julius] Peppers on that turf? [Devin] Hester, with all those cuts on turf? [Johnny] Knox? All those guys. We’re going to be a little better, I think. Faster.”
Urlacher then responded in regards to the comments linebacker Dhani Jones made about him .
“I think we were drafted in the same class, right? Is he a 2000 guy? I haven’t heard anything about him since then,” Urlacher said. “I saw him on a TV show with a bow-tie on though. So I know him better for how the way he dresses than what he does on a football field. Guys are going to talk. I’ve definitely had a lot worse things said publicly from guys, so I can live with it.”
