Rolle Wants No Part Of Aaron Rodgers Again

Posted by Mike Florio on January 11, 2010 12:58 AM ET

Cardinals safety Antrel Rolle got a taste of Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers on Sunday, a week after facing him in Week 17.

And Rolle has no interest in a third helping.

"Let me tell you something - that dude is scary," Rolle said of Rodgers, per Michael Silver of Yahoo! Sports. "We have a great defense, and we were up on him and ready to pounce, and he found ways to tear us apart.

"I don't ever want to face him again in my life. I am dead serious. I'll face Drew Brees any day of the week before I face him again."

Rolle gets his wish on a day coming later this week, when the Cardinals go to New Orleans for a division-round playoff game.

(And we've got a feeling someone will share Rolle's observations with Brees.)

Though the compliment likely won't do much to make Packers fans feel better about a bad season turned good but bad, Rodgers seems to be doing a great job of replacing Brett Favre. And Rodgers has plenty of football left in him.

i literally came back on here to post this R.P....you beat me to the punch.

Fitzgerald and one of their other cbs had great things to say about Aaron Rodgers as well.

When a defense compliments you like that it's pretty impressive!

Not that this means much at all, but Reggie White made reference to Brett Favre's toughness as a reason why he signed with the Packers. I'm sure money played a factor too, but perhaps now that Aaron Rodgers has established himself and showed great perseverance in this game, free agents may want to take a strong look at the Pack. If that's a direction Ted Thompson goes in.

Shawn Merrimen is a player I hope was watching. I'd give a 2nd round pick for him in a heartbeat and reports say San Diego was thinking of moving him in the off-season. They have a lot of guys to lock up.

Well, if he never wants to play against Rodgers again, the only thing he can do about that is sign with us. Maybe he's hinting at that.. ahaha.

he's done nothing since getting caught for steroids. I'd rather stick with the guys we have.

I doubt it. And I really don't think we need a short-term solution at CB. We have an amazing starting 3 and quite some depth behind that. Getting 3 corners on IR will hit every team this hard, most likely even harder.

I'd like that, as well. He didn't come back too strong so far, but that should only drop the price a little. I think that he'll come back strong this season. He's exactly what we need opposite of Matthews. That said, I don't know if the Chargers are going to trade him away. I hope so, but I have my doubts.

As to the main thread... This does make you feel a little better somehow. To know that this kid is getting some recognition around the league. Evidence that he's a good player is heaping. People like Dhazer are turning around.

If we add just a little to this team, we'll be SB contenders. And we'll be just that for quite a while, with the young team we have in place.

Antrelle and Aaron are friends from the 05 draft...it's a little bit of friendly banter..

Zero2Cool (3h) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (6h) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (10h) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (10h) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.

Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes

Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : Thanks Mucky and whomever created topcos for each pick!

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : Insane about Kingsley
