"come on justa....teams have no problems running at Zach? How many times does Zach whiff on blocks, get run over, dragged around like a doll? Not very often. Zach stops them dead in their tracks most of the time. Even then, we've had one of the best run defenses time and time again over the decade Zach was playing, with Timbo and Chester up front and Zach plugging the holes. There was a reason for that and Zach was a LARGE part of that reason. Everyone used Zach's size against him and said he'd never make it in the NFL....he proved them all wrong and became a multi-probowl LB....then they said he couldn't play in a 3-4 because of his size....proved them all wrong again. I'm tired of hearing people continually bring up his size as a negative when he has proven over a decade in the NFL that his size is more then adequte for being an execptionally talented LB and he's been a part of some of the most consistently talented defense in the league during that time. If we didn't have so many pro bowlers on Defense over the last decade I bet people would give Zach more props. It's always easier to find the single shining light amongst the darkness. "
Teams DO NOT gameplan around Zach but they do Urlacher. Seriously, you can't compare. Urlacher dominates while Zachs does not. Zach can tackle but he does not make gamebreaking HUGE plays like Urlacher does . If you can't see that, you guys are being homers about this.
If Urlacher continues doing what he's doing barring injuries, he may eventually surpass Seau. Zach is not even in the same league as Seau in his prime.
