Patrick Mannelly

Hey, Grody, start believing, will you please, Dan?

Okay, well, we'll talk to you on Sunday, see if that changes.

Yeah, buddy.

You've got a whole week to change it.

We might just hang up on you again, maybe just cut the segment.

We'll talk to Mully.

We talk to Patrick Manley every Tuesday during the football season.

At this time, he joins us via the Circus Sports Illinois hotline.

Patrick Manley, the longest tenured bear.

He is also a part of our pre- and post-game coverage on our football Sundays, and he watches every game that we care about because he's good like that.

Patrick, thanks for joining us today.

It absolutely is fun to not talk about that crap because I don't care about it right now either.

We had a heated debate earlier on the show talking about Ben Johnson's comments saying that he's simply focused right now on his defense not giving up the points.

Where do you stand on this?

Well, and additionally, Patrick, I feel like when Jordan Love was at his best this season against the Bears, it was recognizing the blitz looks that he was seeing out of the defense.

He didn't seem to find it confusing.

He had a check down answer practically every time.

And that's how they were able to pick apart the defense so well, especially in that first game.
