My only thought there was if the new coach Tucker doesn't have him play like Urlacher did i.e. dropping back so far etc. Side to side and run stuffing I am sure Briggs might be fine.
We don't know, you are right. And because it is a 4-3 doesn't mean its a Tampa 2 "style" and I am sure he will bring his own wrinkle into it. But in my mind you don't move a pro bowl veteran LB playing his natural spot he has played his entire career (and hasn't really declined yet) to accommodate this notion that McClellan is really a LB. I can't point to one play last year that made me think he would be much better suited at that position in
this defense.
This "replace" Urlacher thing with McClellan has got to stop.
