Rodgers Still Thinks Mic Pack Ruptured Cobb's Lung

[Guiness]

Lot of hate for Rodgers in the comment section!

I'd like to see what the mic pack looks like. I can see if he landed on it it could cause some damage, as you'll know if you've ever fallen on something hard in your pocket.

More interesting to me in this article was this line

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

Are the guards often mic'd for some reason? Is he saying the opposing team could get access to a recording of his calls at the line? I can see where that would force the O to change up the calls a lot.

The CBA has two provisions for mic'ing players:
One allows NFL films to chose players to mic for gathering sound to use in its films. No player is required to do it more than 4 times in the regular season, but there is no limitation in preseason or postseason.

The second allows mics in o-linemen's pads for sound during TV broadcasts. This was modified later to require mics in the pads of either both starting guards, or the starting and backup center. I've heard Sitton and Lang comment about it in the past.

re: the second
What Rodgers is implying could be accurate then. What sort of security is on those mics? It wouldn't be a reach to think the home team could get copies of the audio to review at their leisure later.

I am sure its as reliable as the wireless coach to QB system.

Especially for a visiting team in Foxboro?
