Though Brian Urlacher has been taking shots at Jay Cutler and Bears management lately, his actual punches need some work.

When Mike Tyson stopped by the FOX Sports 1 studio to promote his new show, “Being: Mike Tyson,” he offered to give Urlacher a boxing lesson.

The two walked over to a punching bag with FOX analyst Jay Glazer’s face on it. Tyson showed Urlacher how to throw a stiff jab and how to tuck his thumb when making a fist.

Even though Tyson said Urlacher was “getting there” after his last combination, the jabs didn’t appear to pack much punch.

Maybe it would have been a different story if the faces of Cutler and Phil Emery were on the bag.
