How can Vikings stop Aaron Rodgers? ‘Don’t let him have the ball,’ Mike Zimmer says
Superlatives are in high demand again for Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers after his brilliant game-winning touchdown drive at Dallas on Sunday salvaged a pivotal road victory for the Packers.
Next stop: U.S. Bank Stadium.
“I’ve been in the league 20-some years and I can’t remember a guy that does the things this guy does,” Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said Wednesday. “I think they should trade him.”
Defensive end Everson Griffen anointed Rodgers king of the alpha males for his ability to sidestep any pass rush.
“Aaron Rodgers is the toughest guy to be patient with; he’s the best quarterback, in my opinion,” Griffen said.
Vikings quarterback Case Keenum was just plain stumped when asked about the signal caller that has vexed Minnesota like no other.
“There are no words that can describe the kind of plays that he can make,” Keenum said with a shrug.
Powerful, elusive and coy, Rodgers can beat teams with his arm, legs and brain. He buys time in the pocket to toy with defenders, becomes a gunslinger on the run, can practically throw a ball out of a stadium and is lethal with the game on the line.
