Brian Urlacher Press Conference....

Brian Urlacher at the Miami Press Conference...

On arriving in Miami...
Weather was perfect number one. It was exciting... I'm going to say that a lot cause I'm excited to be here. I slept the whole flight which was nice.

On Peyton Manning...
It's his 8th or 9th year. I think he'll be one of the best of all time (numbers wise). He has a start streak of 100 games in a row.. (On his commercials) I think he does a good job with the acting .. I like his stuff... It's going to be tough... we've got Peyton throwing all over the place... It will be a challenge but we're happy to meet that challenge...We are where we want to be since day one...its the biggest challenge to date for us..

On the last time he heard Lovie Smith yell on the field...
I don't think I've ever head him yell on the field.. never heard him say a cuss word... He gets his point across to us very well... It's the same with our assistants .. They all get the point across without yelling at us.. There is no doubt on what your job is on every play.. But the number one thing is your effort has to be good.. Everyone runs to the football, offense and defense. All he really cares about is effort... He cares about mistakes but efforts cure a lot.

On finishing the season and about the banner with word "finish" all over the hotel...
To finish it to us would be the Super Bowl champs... It's been the goal from day one.. We felt like we had the team to do it this year after what we did last year...and then coming out of nowhere... It's been our motto all year for the most part...whatever happens happens but make sure you finish all the time.

On following in footsteps of famous backers in Chicago...
It's a huge honor to play same position as Bill George, Dick Butkus, Mike Singletary.. a great honor and tradition... not fair to compare me to them... they are in the Hall of Fame.. maybe one day I will be there.. but great tradition to play linbacker...

On the Super Bowl being a business trip...
It is a business trip... We had to wear our suits on the plane down here.. I'm just going to concentrate and practice... I'll get back to my room and be just like it's in Chicago.. I'll try to take my mind off the game when I'm not doing too much...

On dealing with media attention...
When I have to speak I will.. When I don't I won't. I do what I'm told when it comes to this stuff no more then I have to no less then I have too...

On is it easier to be here (Miami) rather then Chicago because they are the underdogs and what is Chicago like...
I'd rather be home... in my bed and my house.. in my own element with my routine...instead of having to travel.. Chicago is crazy right now... They are excited just like we are... but I'd much rather be there.. in my own environment.

On how important it was for Tank Johnson to make this trip...
My man Tank... He's great, he's a big part of this team.. we need him to win this game... For the most part he's got things cleared up. We're excited to have him here... He's my buddy, my friend... it's over with now and I'm just glad he's here.
