Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers joined the show to discuss the Packers' win over the Bears in Week 1 and what he expects from this season.
-- Dan asked Rodgers if he expects to go to the Super Bowl. Rodgers said he hopes they get there and he thinks the Packers are very good. "This is the best defense we've had in my five years in Green Bay," Rodgers said. "And the deepest team we've had in my five years here."
Rodgers also said facing Green Bay's 3-4 defense every day in practice is very difficult and he expects it to give opponents fits.
-- Rodgers hit Greg Jennings for a 50-yard touchdown to seal the win on Sunday. Rodgers said that he had to call a timeout before the game-winning touchdown because Jennings lined up on the wrong side. Then they called the play that turned out to be the game-winner. The play called for Donald Lee down the sideline and Jennings going long. It worked out that Jennings got open.
-- Rodgers says that after he gets hit, one of the best sounds is silence of the opposing crowd when he's on the ground, because he knows that will be good for the Pack.
-- Rodgers explained that postgame on-field interviews are "part of the job description." He says that he always tries to find his PR guy and lets him manage it.
-- Rodgers said he was shocked by the end of the Broncos-Bengals game last week. Rodgers said they may be more hungry when he faces Cincy on Sunday ... but it could get the Bengals discouraged.
