Re: Peter King's view on the Briggs deal
King failed to point out that Briggs a) has Urlacher playing beside him and b) he had one helluva defensive line in front of him.

He basically does address a) by saying Briggs and Urlacher are interchangeable, as for b) that pretty much goes for any LB in this league.

Show me a star LB and chances are he has a pretty good DL in front of him.

Yep. Now I'm off to go start another LB thread.......TRADE DOWN!

Honestly I think Urlacher is overrated, and I believe Briggs is better than Urlacher, but still we don't need him.

I think they play well together actually. But I'll say it again, unless Briggs is the top two or three at that position, then we have no business trading for this guy.

King seems to think that Briggs is that good.

Vice versa could be true. Maybe Briggs is the one bringing BU's game up. I am more concerned about them being system LBs more than anything. One good LB doesn't make another but only so much better.

You're right, it could be the other way around. I'm just not convinced that the Briggs we know of in Chicago can light it up here in D.C.

I have heard this argument one hundred times.

Urlacher also has Briggs next to him. That theory goes both ways. Urlacher is not Ray Lewis or Lawrence Taylor. He has definitely benefitted from having a great line and a pro-bowler next to him. I don't buy that Briggs is good only because Urlacher is next to him.

The Chicago D is good because they have studs everywhere, not just because of an over-hyped MLB.

I agree 100%

A helluva line? I saw that line get run over by a Colt running game that by far is not the best in the NFL in the Super Bowl!
