Darnell Dockett: 'Now Aaron Rodgers Can Do His Little Belt Dance'

The Arizona Cardinals 51-45 overtime victory over the Green Bay Packers was hardly a defensive battle on Sunday. Although the Cardinals won by Kurt Warner's valiant effort on offense, one Cardinals defender, Darnell Dockett, has never had a problem expressing how he feels, and he spoke after the game. I think he said it best, and said what most of us were feeling.

I take my hat off to that Green Bay team, they fought hard...


Now Green Bay can go back home and get ready for their off season, and now Aaron Rodgers can do his little belt dance on the bus and all that good things because that was definitely on our minds too. 


I mean, it's always - you know this is the playoffs. They ain't always gonna look good, every play ain't gonna get drawn up like it is in the book, every outcome ain't gonna be the outcome that you're hoping its gonna be, everything is gonna be different.

I think the biggest thing that Green Bay got confused was, this is the playoffs, this is tempo, this wasn't preseason, this wasn't the last game of the season. They made all these excuses and things sayin' they wanted to see our best effort, and they was gonna play their starters last week and all this, and I honestly think that you know, we took it to 'em - we took it to 'em. Again I can't take nothing from their team but the better team wins man and we had a better effort then they did and we made more plays then they did.

Before anyone jumps the gun, Dockett gave many kudos to Green Bay's effort and their will to not give up also.

really what is that little dance all about

I have been trying to figure out what that is. I have asked many GB fans over here and no one can explain that strange move.

This is what the dance is all about

When Aaron Rodgers was the No. 2 QB in Green Bay when Favre was still there, he ran the scout team in practice. Since the scout team didn’t get any respect, whenever they scored a touchdown against the first team defense, he “strapped on the championship belt.” This was an inside thing that the scout team had going on. He now does it in honor of the players that were on the scout team that he spent the first 3 years of his career with.

He didn't mail a notice to the fans in Arizona.

It’s a pretty rude display in another team’s house. The fans won’t take it well, neither will any defense he plays against. It just gives everyone that is trying to sack him that much more incentive.

Honestly

I think that Rodgers probably laughed after he heard 9-0 say that.

A picture of Rodgers doing his dance may be ripe for a "Caption This" segment

What happened to caption this? It was the only contest I had a chance to win.

by Drullin'OverDaCards on Jan 11, 2010 11:21 AM MST reply actions  

It was booed off the stage I believe

Rodgers is a “typical” American deficient in geography and thought UoP Stadium was in Tombstone, AZ.

Caption this got canned because of Bogatt's ROTB Manifesto post?

That’s kind of sad. It was actually really starting to get a lot of posts. Nothing wrong with a little comic relief.

Same as any other feature, if people don’t want to read it or participate that’s fine. The “boring” argument could be made for pick’em of any other feature, if its not what someone enjoys doing.

It's funny

because I wasn’t the one that started the Caption This segment, *Cough Hawk and CG *Cough.. Yes it did take some of the fun out of doing the segment when a certian member called it out. If everyone liked the post then I could certainly bring it back on Saturdays.

What? I didn't break it, I was just testing its durability, and then I placed it in the woods becuase it's made out of wood and I just thought he should be with his family.

I think you should bring it back

It wasn’t always the best, but it was pretty funny sometimes. It’s a pretty arbitrary contest and getting up an answer quickly on Saturday (in my impression) is more important than it being the funniest answer by the end of the week, but I know I log in most Saturday mornings to see if there is a new pic up.

I didn't have a problem with the segment...

just the uninspired posts that were being passed off as funny. It wasn’t just me either, there was quite a few people who seemed to feel the same as I did I just said something.

that wasn't a face mask penalty

the rules have changed. a face mask penalty used to 5 yards or 15 yards for a personal foul. That would have been a 5 yard penalty 2 years ago. Now in order for a face mask personal foul—you have to TACKLE a player by use of the face mask. (not just touch it).

hey fudge packer

you lost. go home and like dockett said ‘shovel the snow off your driveway.’ I love Docketts comments (normally I dont) but he was dead on about Rodgers. Rodgers is an arrogant punk and that dance is pure disrespect. I am so glad to see him go home. Cant stand the guy. No doubt he is an amazing quarterback but he has little brother or little man syndrome, maybe both. Good riddance Green Bay, thanks for an entertaining game… that we won

Talk about arrogance...

Some of you think Rodgers is prideful, but look at what Mr. Dockett is saying. His less-than-stellar English still promotes an underlying theme: “I am an arrogant douchebag.”
Should you really be that cocky when your defense gave up 45 points?

First, he's not writing a story, he's talking to a reporter in the locker room

Second, he actually goes on to say that the Packers were a very good team and never quit despite being down by 21 points.

Yes the defense allowed 45 points but his point is that that dance pissed him off. He’s also making a point that the Packers were arrogant after beating the Cardinals in two meaningless games, but this was the playoffs.

What? I didn't break it, I was just testing its durability, and then I placed it in the woods becuase it's made out of wood and I just thought he should be with his family.

How did the Cards namely Dockett cheat exactly? The refs were bad from the start & missed several calls from the start. I didn’t see GB turn down any that went in there favor, so why would the Cards?

You stuck up cry baby Packer fans just can’t take reality can you? Where was your so called great defense? What about Mr. Best Corner In The League Woodson shutting down Fitz. Larry bitched slapped that punk ass!

CheersForBeers! the Cards will loose next week, just like they were going to get blown out by the Pack? Ha Ha!

by FitzFan on Jan 11, 2010 5:24 PM MST reply actions  

FaceMask is BS

Doesn’t matter. Would have been Cards ball on 30, 1st play would be Warner to Stevie B over the middle good for 30 yards and TD. Packers game plan sucked and McCarthy should be blamed.

Pack could not stop Warner, period. The only reason OT was played, was that Rackers missed a FG that he makes 90% of the time.

Dockett got it right, Rogers needs to take his lame a** WWE crap back to GB and it’s freezing weather. CARDS WIN!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You guys just don't get it

This is the first penalty in the history of the NFL that was missed by the officials.

I’m also pretty sure if it was Woodson with his hand gently caressing Warner’s facemask, he would have approached the official after the play and informed him that he may have missed the infraction, as he felt really bad about it and they should give the ball back to the Cards.

There’s a reason this league isn’t officiated by robots folks. Opinion is opinion, human error is human error, and judgement is judgement. These things are all a part of football, and I wouldn’t have it any other way, even though I know one day my boys will end on the short end of the stick. As will every single team at some point. It just happened to come at a lousy time for Packer fans.

And when it comes to Packer fans, you guys are way too classy for this. PLEASE DON’T TURN INTO SEAHAWKS FANS. I can’t breathe near a Seahawk fan without hearing about the calls in the Super Bowl a couple years back.

Also Cards fans, don’t feed the trolls. They’ll just keep coming back and nipping at your ankles.

Oh, I forgot that it’s cold as hell (dante’s) in GB and all they have to do up there is drink and moan about their team. We AZ fans forget what its like to have weather (not so much for me, I live in Berlin).

I still have respect for the Packers and I do like Rodgers despite this arrogance (like the trolls still on this board). Hell, I kind of like him more because of it. I dislike like TO very much but his dance on the Dallas star was spectacular. Chad Johnson? Yes please. I watch the NFL to be entertained.

In the end, the media played right into Whisenhunts smirk. If we win it all this year, I want that smirk to be on the cover of the SB disc set.
