When Patrick asked Urlacher, “Who was the quarterback or running back you didn’t get, and you really wanted to?” it didn’t take Urlacher long to remember one particularly embarrassing play against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. It was Week 12 of the 2006 season, and Brady – who will hardly go down as the most mobile quarterback of all time – managed to elude Urlacher in the open field on a fourth-quarter scramble. As you can see in the video above, it was an atypical play for several reasons.
“Brady always kicked our butts – I don’t think we ever beat [New England] when Tom Brady was the starting quarterback,” Urlacher remembered. “He juked me out of my shoes in 2006.”
As Patrick said, “Every white guy who couldn’t move loved that play, because it was Brady who was doing it.”
“Man, he really got me, and he’s one of the best of all time,” Urlacher concluded. “There were just some guys I had a hard time with.”
