Drew Dalman

I also want to see the youngsters play.

I want to see Dalman, who's been back in the under-21s because our squad is so massive.

I want to see Ife Abraham.

I want to see Marley Salmon.

His, uh-

Dalman, Dalman.

... is Dalman.

Yeah.

You really hope that he's gonna get playing time, uh, because...

They've gotta make their career somewhere else

This segment with Olin Kreutz, sponsored by BC Bank, building business, growing wealth since 1868.

Olin, you could look at the Bears off-season, and it started with Drew Dalman retiring, and I thought that was a huge void that they needed to fill.

But h- that decision to retire set off a chain of events which brought us to yesterday.

Garrett Bradbury is here.

Joe Tuney is the anchor of the Chicago Bears offensive line.

They actually lost their center, Drew Dalman, to retirement during the off-season, and yet Tausch, Tuney is the glue guy and is, in your opinion, and I think you're right, a Pro Football Hall of Famer someday.

Why was it so important to you to talk Tuney today?

Well, I just look at, I look at what the, where the Packers are at.

We're like, "Damn, that's a reach.

What are we doing? What are we doing?" And then you get the free agency and it's like, "Hey, let's go, let's go sign Drew Dalman." This was two years ago, and we didn't do that, right? Now, Dalman retired, so hindsight being 2020 would have been a bad move in that regard, but he played really, really good that one year he played for Chicago.

Um- And then this offseason, it's like, all right, we like this center, we like that center, we like this center.

And then they announce they, they re-signed Sean Ryan.

Yeah.

And you know, Bradbury's first game as a starter stepping in for Dalman.

Mm-hmm.

That was, like, maybe a spot where you were looking.
