It is true that I wondered how in the world Aaron Rogers stopped Brian in the open field after that interception in the title game. That to me was an indication that the skills were going downhill.

If the knee heals, I’m hoping it heals well so that the final years of Brian’s career don’t dilute our memory of the toughness he’s displayed up to now.

Urlacher sprained his MCL and PCL in the last game of the season. Those injuries are more than likely healed.
This sounds like it was a routine scope to clean up cartilage. While it will require some recovery/rehab and may be a nagging issue going forward, it isn’t a career ending injury. Quit writing the narrative before you have the facts.

Thank you.

The fact that Urlacher isn’t coming clean about what’s going on leads me to believe the injury is more severe than he’s letting on, and that his playing time is rapidly coming to an end.

“At a certain point it becomes embarrassing to see a once great talent play at such a mediocre level ala Urlacher brother.”

I won’t debate that London Fletcher is a wonderful talent, or that Urlacher’s knee is worrisome, especially at 34 years old. But playing at a mediocre level? Last year Urlacher had 102 tackles, 3 interceptions, 7 pass breakups and made the Pro Bowl.

He also made the Pro Bowl the year before that. He’s been nothing but fantastic, even this late in his career. What’s really embarrassing is listening to sports fans talk out of their ass.

London Fletcher has never come close to Urlacher’s ability. He’s certainly a tackling machine, but that’s it. He can’t sniff what Brian does against the pass. Add in sideline to sideline speed…he easily has two to three more good seasons ahead of him. Recovery from a knee scope doesn’t take that long, regardless of his older age. He’ll be out there verus the Colts come Sept 9.
