It would be nice to give us a chance to get the ball rolling and get a little confidence.
Brian Urlacher -
No one gives us respect. They do, but kind of begrudgingly. But we haven't beaten anyone in the playoffs yet, and we need to win playoff games to get respect. Everyone in the room knows that.

We don't give up a lot of yards, just too many big plays.
Brian Urlacher -
Only time will tell. We feel like we have good players. We brought Moose in, we brought Fred Miller in on offence...
Brian Urlacher -
Look at the teams we played when I was not there - Indy, Minnesota, Green Bay, Philadelphia - that's four playoff teams right there. I don't think it's a significant statistic. We just have to play better when I'm not in there or play easier teams.
Brian Urlacher -
I think we know we are No. 1. I don't think yards equal wins. Yards are big, but points are the main thing that matters. We did not play very well and gave up a bunch of yards and I think we lost our No. 1 status, but points are a big deal and I think we hold that.
Brian Urlacher -
It's a little different trying to run the ball with eight guys in the box. The Vikings haven't had to face that because of the Randy Moss factor.
Brian Urlacher -
Jamal's a house, ... I tried to tackle him in the Pro Bowl a couple times and he's not an easy guy to bring down. He's a big boy and he runs hard. We've got our work cut out for us. We've got to stay in our gaps and be sure tacklers.

We have to play better. If we think we're a good defense, we better start showing it. We didn't make plays when we had to. We gave up a couple of big plays. We had a chance to win the game. We were in the game the whole time and found a way to lose at the end.
Brian Urlacher -
It was a great hit. The refs didn't call a penalty, so it was a good play.
Brian Urlacher -
It feels like crap right now. Disappointing. But I guess you could look at the bright side and say we're a young team and all that good stuff. It's going to hurt for a while.
Brian Urlacher -
I love when people pick against us because we just go out and prove them wrong. In training camp, there was no doubt in anyone's mind we had the personnel to do it. It was just a matter of staying healthy and going out there and doing it. Knock on wood, we stayed healthy, and it's been a fun season for us so far.
Brian Urlacher -
It's a good problem to have, if you call it a problem. And it is not a problem. Any time you have a chance to get an off week, it's a good thing. We have given ourselves a good opportunity to rest some guys. It would be nice to sweep our division. It would be great to get 12 wins, but so would having everyone healthy for a playoff game.
Brian Urlacher -
I like to think of myself as a regular guy, except I play football for a living. I try not to be an arrogant turd out there.

I hear so-called experts say Carolina's the best team in the NFC. Well, let's see if they're right.

Brian Urlacher -
We had to win in the playoffs to earn respect and we didn't do that. So all of the people who doubted us, I guess, were right. We may be a good team, but we're not a great team.
Brian Urlacher -
My mom is my heart. But my step dad was my role model, the hardest working man I ever knew.
Brian Urlacher -
Steve Smith, thats what happened to us. He just kept making plays. We had a plan. We never really doubled him. We ran a lot of Cover 2, and obviously that didnt work out too good for us.
Brian Urlacher
-
The No. 1 thing is you have to be able to protect the quarterback, ... If we put pressure on him and stop the run, we'll put ourselves in some good situations.
Brian Urlacher -
We sure do talk a lot for a team that gives up a couple big plays every game...
Brian Urlacher -
How great a life is this? To get to knock guys' heads off for 60 minutes and not get thrown in jail?
Brian Urlacher -
It's a non-issue; it's behind us now. That was a long time ago.
