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 ultimately gone bad, Rodgers seems to be doing a great job of replacing Brett Favre.
And Rodgers has plenty of football left in him.
