Randall Cobb had a serious injury last year in a playoff game and I believe, as I think he would as well and the team, that that was caused from him being mic’d up. Because he fell on his mic pack and he had an injury to his insides that kept him out of the game and probably would have kept him out of the rest of the playoffs. The puncture spot, or the injury spot, was directly adjacent to his mic pack.


Yeah, I think it’s too much information. In 2008 there used to be no headset on defense, so the defense had to signal in every play and that was part of the whole Spygate issue and filming signals and what not. But now you have mics on both guards most of the time and you pick up everything that the quarterback says when we’re at home, and sometimes on the road as well, and I think that’s a competitive edge for the defense and it makes you have to work that much harder with your dummy words and your live and dead words. I mean, that’s part of the game there, but I think that the access is a little bit much.

I think being mic’d up, when I’m mic’d up, it takes away from the authenticity of the game for me. I don’t feel comfortable mic’d up.

What do you feel about players being mic'd up and do you think wearing the mic pack injured Randall Cobb?



On the subject of point-of-view cameras on Quarterbacks ...
Aaron Rodgers: Won’t be my helmet I’ll tell you that much,
A.J. Hawk: How are you going to stop them?
Rodgers: I don’t get mic’d up. I’m not going to wear that
Hawk: What if they put them on every guy?
Rodgers: Might have to call it a career (laughs)
