I'm starting to think that it may happen. Maybe McIntosh will be learning the Mike under Fltecher this season?
Also, for those of you that constantly throw out there that Lance Briggs only played well be cause he played next to Urlacher think about this. It was his second season that he broke out, that year he had 125 tackles and 1 pick. Urlacher was there for 9 games that year and that's when Briggs made his name. So having Urlacher there isn't what made him the player that he was IMO. Now granted he does have a top notch D-Line in front of him so I don't have anything for that. To simply say that it's because of Urlacher that he is who he is isn't a fair assesment to me.
From reading the article and thinking about this trade in my head, Washington really does hold all the cards in the deal. If Chicago is so hard pressed about shipping Briggs out then Washington can pretty much do what they did before and hit Chicago with a take it or leave it deal. If they can find a way to get another pick then I say do it. The only thing that concerns me is just how big of a contract are they talking about giving this guy?
