Jon Bostic and Khaseem Greene have a pretty unenviable job right now - attempt to fill the void left by Brian Urlacher. (I'm not sure why every article involving linebackers has to mention Urlacher, but here's your obligatory post mention.) The fortunate thing is that Bostic and Greene get to develop similar chemistry that Urlacher and Lance Briggs developed over their careers. Adam Jahns mentioned this in his article from late Friday night, "Can Jon Bostic and Khaseem Greene Fill the Void left by Brian Urlacher?" (Yep, that's another Urlacher reference.)

Linebacker Lance Briggs said Thursday that change in the defensive coaching staff was tough to accept given the Chicago Bears' success in recent seasons, but he maintains the veterans will "stay positive" during the transition. "Initially doubt goes through everybody's mind because as a defense we don't think there's anything wrong," Briggs said on "SVP & Russillo" on ESPN Radio.
