Randall Cobb (L.) and Aaron Rodgers were longtime teammates with the Packers. I enjoy being with my family, and kids, and watching them grow up and learn and just seeing life from their perspective. I would say that I’m thought-provoking, deep thinker. Q: Some adjectives to describe Randall Cobb off the field.Ī: I was wondering if this was gonna be about me.Ī: I’m messing with you (laugh). Not to say that it’s his answer, but he just wants to open your mind to different perspectives. He just makes you think, makes you think about things in a different way. Q: Give me adjectives to describe him off the field.Ī: Mysterious … (laugh) … never know where he is or what he’s doing. I think he has a sarcasm to him that doesn’t resonate with everybody, and not everybody understands it, so when you look at a transcript, it can be misread. Q: Do you think Rodgers, over the years, has been misunderstood?Ī: I do. Aaron Rodgers took a massive pay cut when he reworked his contract with the Jets earlier in the offseason. Q: How do you explain someone taking a $35 million pay cut?Ī: He must have a lot of money (laugh)! I think he understands what it’s gonna take to win, and he’s making a sacrifice for the betterment of the situation that he stepped into. Those are stressful moments, and the tension rises, and we all feel like, “We gotta make a play, we gotta make a play.” But I think his ability to just refocus us and lead us back to the moment, and not let the moment be too big, but just understand the simple plays with great execution and effort that makes the memorable plays. I think he brings a sense of calmness to everybody in the huddle. Q: What is he like in the huddle in the fourth quarter of a tight game?Ī: He’s so calm. Q: You can build the perfect quarterback: What traits would you take from Aaron Rodgers?Ī: I would say his accuracy, his mental process, his ability to see the defense and get to the best possible call. It doesn’t matter if we’re playing cards, it doesn’t matter if we’re throwing darts, playing cornhole, pool, whatever it is. He doesn’t like throwing interceptions, and he hates losing. I think you can see that by his touchdown-interception ratio. He doesn’t like to lose, he doesn’t like to make mistakes. Jets fans must not overreact to potentially-bumpy early resultsĪ: He’s an ultimate competitor. So I think it becomes the physical attribute and the decision for him to make. … He still sees the game the same way he always saw the game. He still has the ability to throw the ball down the field with accuracy, in traffic with accuracy. … His talent level hasn’t slipped at all. Murray for the NY PostĪ: Because you look at his mental process, and you look at his ability to throw the football, and you mix those two things together. Randall Cobb signed with the Jets this offseason. I think I did the same thing for him in giving him a different view or perspective on different things throughout life.Ī: Could he? Yes. We have a lot of routes that convert versus different coverages and one-high versus two-high safety looks, so just my understanding of the game through a quarterback point of view.Ī: When I came into the league, I was 20, and I spent basically a decade with him and learning from him, dinner with him, being exposed to different things and different ways than what I grew up. I see the safety rotations, I see the blitzes, so it just helps speed up my process as a receiver.
I think I see the game from the eyes of a quarterback. Q: What makes you and Aaron Rodgers click?Ī: I think first and foremost on the field, my quarterback background.
