It's time for Five On It. Rahimi Harrison-Roney. Bring you five topics on their minds today. On 104.3 The Score. I got five on it. Number one. What are the Bears' top three priorities now that center Drew Dallman has decided to retire?
I said it earlier, I maintain. Center, because Drew Dahlman is there. I'm sorry, Joe Thomas. I know you're a prolific tackle in our game. But center, and then for me, it's still defensive line. I'm sorry. I know there are dudes there, but until a lot of you prove it to me, and I'm going to need more proof, not you, Trevon Dexter. Not you, Montez, what? But I'm going to say focusing on the defensive line or trying to get some sort of pass rush that's more based on the line rather than your secondary is still my number two. And then I think my number three, and this is also maybe avant-garde, Safety? Am I wrong to want a safety on the team?
They don't have safeties.
Under contract? Just one? I mean, I think four are preferable, but that's still where I'm at with this. And people would say, Layla, how can you want a center as number one and then left tackle as not? Because you still have people in the building who can play left tackle. So if it wasn't as much of a priority to the Bears, then that's me following their lead.
How has Drew Dallman's retirement impacted the Bears' chances of acquiring Maxx Crosby?
Does that make sense?
Yeah, it does, although I am going to go. You know that you and I are lockstep on center. I came to grips with that towards the end of the show meeting that, yes, center is number one.
Okay, so you gave me a tease in the meeting. I know. This is how meta Grotty is. Grotty's like, I don't know. I may surprise you. What were you thinking about when you said that?
Well, I mean, I thought about left tackle. I thought to myself, okay, you don't have a center. You don't have a starting left tackle, which still is, pound for pound, a more important position on an offensive line. It is still a position that gets paid more. It is still a premium spot. Tackle is a premium spot in the NFL.
How dare you believe Joe Thomas?
So that's what was going through my mind because I wanted to be like right with you there. Of course, it's centered. This is what we're talking about. I was like, wait a minute. But then I did it as time went on and I took a few deep breaths and stared out the window. I realized that, yes, number one. has to be the center position right now because specifically of what he means to the quarterback, to Caleb Williams. I think all of these parts were really important in the season that Caleb Williams had, in a season in which I proclaimed to myself, because I needed to see it, that yes, Caleb Williams is your quarterback going forward. The Bears have a quarterback, and part of that is because of Drew Dallman.
I will go left tackle as my second most important position then because while they do have in-house potential candidates, it's... You can't call it on those guys still. And do you want to go through another season where there has to be extra compensation physically with an extra offensive lineman out there often?
