Urlacher's numbers are down since Briggs became the player he did? Right now, Lance Briggs is as good as he's ever been... I mean this past season.
Lance Briggs did NOT hurt Urlacher's numbers, in fact, Urlacher had 141 tackles last season...the SECOND most in his 7 year career. Briggs, meanwhile, had the most tackles of his career last season. So, Urlacher's tackles did NOT go down because of Briggs emergence. Go compare all the seasons. You will find it's inaccurate to say Briggs hurt Urlacher's numbers.
But... AJ Hawk's arrival certainly hurt Barnett's numbers.
My Jennings vs. Boldin was for effect. What is asinine is continually arguing a point that was lost before it was argued in the first place.
