Playing it cool.
Urlacher hasn't had a great season since '07 so he isn't even in that conversation at the moment.

If I was Beason I'd be pissed! Imo same level of talent but Willis is getting all the accolades. Lol

No way... he doesn't have Willis' speed. I remember him getting beat to the outside by I think Ronnie Brown or Ricky Williams and thinking, no way Willis gets beat. Oh yeah, and I also just remember distinctly Beason getting raped in coverage over and over against the cards, biting on s**t and letting Fitzgerald run wide open over the shallow middle.

I don't know, Urlacher is pretty damn fast. He's at least 4.6 or faster as he was a college safety. On INTS, he's always ahead of the pack blocking and passes people up.

In his healthy prime, Urlacher was able to literally change the outcome of a game: remember Bears/Cardinals "They are who we thought they were?" I haven't seen Willis have a game like that yet.

However, in the long run, I would say Willis has a greater career.

we were losing in seattle early in the 2008 season and willis had an 86 yard pick 6 and then we force a turnover again and eventually win the game in overtime

That's 2 plays and it was a good game but the Urlacher game vs ARI was flat out amazing.
