Urlacher Out For Season: Paging Derrick Brooks?

As if last night wasn't bad enough (and let's not overstate this. It really wasn't that bad, despite Cutler's four picks and the injuries. That's par for the course when you run a country club-style training camp like the Lovie Smith Editions. The Packers are a good team, our defense played well, and it was a close game the whole way through.), the news today is that six-time Pro Bowler and Heart of the Defense Brian Urlacher is out for the season with a dislocated wrist.

I think free agent MLB Derrick Brooks is a must-add. He can still play, he worked with Lovie in Tampa Bay, and he is available. Various sources are reporting that the Bears have already been in contact with his agent, so let's get Derrick up to Halas Hall ASAP.

Hunter Hillenmeyer is smart, but he can't keep up with NFL receivers up the middle like Urlacher. He just doesn't have the speed for a Cover Two. Brooks does. Let's get it done.

Here is a diagram from the Tribune explaining what went wrong:
