CHICAGO – A member of the 1985 Chicago Bears is offering a new look at the Super Bowl Champions in a new book.

Linebacker Otis Wilson wrote in his new book ‘If These Walls Could Talk’ he didn’t have a great relationship with coach Mike Ditka.

PODCAST: Listen to Scott’s interview with Wilson on WJBC.

“I can respect a lot of things he’s said and done, but there are a lot of things I question,” Wilson said.

Wilson recalled to WJBC’s Scott Laughlin he lost his starting job to injury and claims Ditka broke a promise.

“You are going to have to give me a better answer than that because if I work by butt off to do what I need to do, then you need to do what you need to do and I’m going to hold you to it,” Wilson said. “I’ve always heard from my parents, you give respect to get respect.”

Wilson added the fractured relationship between Dikta and defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan likely prevented a dynasty.

“I guarantee you if Buddy Ryan would have been able to deal with Mike Ditka on an ongoing basis and stayed there in Chicago, I guarantee we definitely would have had two Super Bowls in a row and we might have had three,” Wilson said.

Ryan, the architect of the Bears fabled ’46’ defense, left Chicago after that Super Bowl season to take a head coaching job with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Wilson added head injuries are a ‘huge problem’ in football now, but he said new rules have to protect more than just quarterbacks and receivers. He said the National Football League needs to ‘shell out money’ to take care of players who have suffered head trauma.
