Brian Urlacher was enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this weekend. He was the best at his position for a long, long time, and the recognition is well-deserved. The Bears have hope that Roquan Smith will be that type of player, but until he signs his contract and reports to camp, he’s as much the next Brian Urlacher for the Bears as I am.
The team also lost 17-16 to the Baltimore Ravens in the annual Hall of Fame Game on Thursday night. To me, it seems as if this game should be moved a week or two back in the preseason, or not played at all.
