Lance Briggs on Tim Tebow: ‘We’re Going to Have to Stop that Crap’
“No, I will be frickin’ pissed,” linebacker Lance Briggs said on Thursday when asked if he would be embarrassed to lose to Tebow. “(Tebow) is one heck of a football player and we’re going to have to stop that crap.
“Cam Newton’s a better athlete, faster.”
According to ESPNChicago.com, Briggs also said that stopping the option isn’t “rocket science.” Brian Urlacher added that Tebow is “not Michael Vick.”
Seeing as how the Packers still remain on their schedule in Week 16, Chicago is in desperate need of a win. With Caleb Hanie under center and the option offense on the other side, the Bears defense needs to turn Sunday’s game into a low-scoring affair. Apparently they believe having success against the Broncos starts with giving Tebow about as much respect as Joe Theismann gave him on Wednesday.
