He'll turn 37 this season. You have to look for a replacement. You can't possibly rely on a 40 year old as your best pass rusher.

I'd keep going but I don't feel like writing the obituary.

His age is a sad matter. Coach Kiffin was heard commenting how much he'll miss Ware. Said Ware is like a father to him.

What the hell is a "Jake"? You mean "Jack"? A "Jack" is a WILB in a 3-4. I assume you meant Sam. But I wouldn't do that cuz Lee is the better LB at this point and would be the Mike.

Bring Melton instead. I'm a Lobo and love Urlacher, but no.

Brian as a SAM might not be bad though...

NFL Rumors: Is Brian Urlacher Heading The Same Way As Marinelli?
Don McPeak-USA TODAY Sports

With the a new era dawning at Halas Hall for the Chicago Bears, Marc Trestman announced in his introductory press conference, that despite talking to the veteran defensive coach, Rod Marinelli couldn’t be persuaded to return to the Bears’ side lines in 2013.

With a new coaching structure beginning to take shape and Marinelli walking out on the Bears and its veteran defense, where does this leave veteran star MLB Brian Urlacher who is heading into free agency?

The obvious rumor for a landing spot for Marinelli has come in the shape of the Dallas Cowboys, who have recently installed the Tampa-2 defense under new coordinator Monte Kiffin. Marinelli served under Kiffin for four years at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as defensive line coach.

[View Full Quote]With the Cowboys needing to learn a new scheme, Marinelli is an obvious fit in Dallas especially given his reputation as being one of the game’s best teachers.

The Cowboys may have Demarcus Ware, but his strength is in his passing rushing ability at OLB, even if the Cowboys where to draft a rookie ILB such Manti Te’o in the 2013 draft, the likelihood of them being ready to go at a high level is slim in my honest opinion.

By now I am sure you know where this is going. Trestman refused to be drawn into the specifics of Urlacher’s future in Chicago, complimenting his past production and stating that he and Phil Emery would discuss the roster in the coming days/weeks/months.

The Cowboys are serious about moving to the Tampa-2 defense, the Bears don’t know what defense they are running next season. There is no line backer in the league who knows this type of defense like Urlacher.

The Cowboys may look to sign up Urlacher in free agency in order to help transition this defense rapidly into the Tampa-2 , Urlacher has a lot of respect for Marinelli and may struggle to bring himself to sign a new contract in Chicago after the Bears usurped Lovie Smith as Head Coach.

With so much uncertainty in the air at this time of year, and a new era dawning in Chicago, don’t sleep on Urlacher lining up for “America’s Team” for the 2013 season.

GREAT!!!!

So, will he be the LB coach, or just a special assistant??? He has alot to teach the D. Maybe even fire up the Boys. Hell, name him assistant to the GM.



















What???

As a active player?????




No. Freaking. Way.

So what did this article actually say.

1. Marinelli is headed to Dallas
2. Urlacher is a FA and because of a scheme change may be out in Chicago.
3. Urlacher knows this defense cold.

The rest of the complaints in this thread are fans trying to read something into it.

He suggests Urlacher could land here, and his contention Ware is better suited for the pass rush. I'll give you that he was stretching it a bit about including Ware.

As far as Lee goes, who's to say he doesn't play outside?

Sometimes I don't get the know-it-all attitude some have here.

I thought Ware was only 16, or am I confusing him with Tyron Smith?

EXACTLY what i was going to say !

I've always thought that Urlacher would have been a beast in the 3-4 as well. As an OLB? Would have been awesome.
