Halftime in GB locker room? (1 Viewer)

Just wondering what was said.... I bet it's one for the ages...

I think Woodson was one of the Packers mic'ed up by NFL Films. We might get to hear it later.

According to Woodson he couldn't get out more than a few words before crying. He was pretty broken up.

"Packers CB Charles Woodson's Super Bowl-ending injury has been diagnosed as a broken collarbone.Fantasy Source Spin: "I'm a champion. It doesn't matter," said Woodson. Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Packers' leader tried to address his teammates at halftime but was too emotional to continue. The 34-year-old Pro Bowler has a full offseason to recover."

Charles Woodson is indeed a champion. And the good news for him is he’ll have the entire offseason to recover.

I loved the way that he laid out to try and catch up with Wallace. The speedier Wallace had him beat, and if that was the regular season, I don’t think that Woodson would have given that extra effort, knowing full well the condition of the turf and that he’d likely hurt himself. But if Woodson had not extended out and briefly interrupted Wallace’s concentration, it could have been the TD that put the Steelers over the top. And he’d likely be kicking himself all offseason for not making the play.

He took one for the team, and the team repaid him with a rightfully deserved ring. Props to Mr. Woodson. That’s the way football should be played.

Just an all around true leader for that team.

Not to diminish Woodson's efforts, but the Steelers did score right after he was hurt, so it didn't put them over the top. I was more impressed by the fact that Green Bay's backup defensive backs were able to hold the fort in the second half.

The subsequent score doesn’t matter. The leadership component cannot be emphasized enough. That play sent a message to the backup DB’s that the only way to hold the Steelers was to play all out. Had the Steelers scored on that play and Woodson walked back to the huddle, knowing he could have prevented it, his teammates wouldn’t have said anything, but they’d be thinking about it. Wondering about Woodson’s heart. Woodson led by example and it helped sustain the Packers intensity in the 2nd half.

I'd love to hear what was said in the locker room.

No offense, but I think it's a bit presumptuous to suggest that you know how his teammates would have reacted. He's certainly a great leader, but if those other players weren't already playing "all out" then they had no business being in the Super Bowl to begin with.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Honestly, I think Woodson's supposed halftime speech is being overstated BIG TIME. I mean, it was so heartfelt and moving that the defense came out and let the Steelers run the ball down their throats on Pitt's first possession of the second half? Okay.

Hey, the Packers won the Super Bowl. Everything that happened from pre-game meals and toilet activity to wives and girlfriends cycles is part of this epic story. No team in history has ever been as great as this Packer team. Please do not try to minimize their greatness here.

How in the world could you possibly know this?

Ooooozing w/ sarcasm there... but no Bears team in the last 25 years has ever been as great as this Packer team.

Sorry about the oooozing, its the only way to combat the ooozing Packer self-love that is permeating this site right now. There is no way to prove or disprove your other statement so it is irrelevant

If you've not seen it yet, here is Peter King's take on Woodson. Some good stuff in that column.

Woodson is the anti-Cutler. He is the definition of a great player.

Pathetic that you have to take every shot you can at someone that will never know it happened.

agreed.My only game comment to others was if Woodson plays the whole game it would have been a GB rout

I'm in Milwaukee, a Packer fan and Woodson fan, but the above is just silly. There was a play that could've been made and it involved extending and diving for the ball....Woodson does that sort of thing on a good majority of his plays whether it be throwing his body past lineman on a corner blitz. coming up to the LOS for run support and driving himself thru a RB, or diving for an interception.... it's just an instinctual thing. Nowhere would he ever be conscious in any kind of game (Super Bowl or not) to hold back and not try and make a big play because there's a chance the turf may be a little harder than normal.

He tried making a play and unfortunately got hurt doing it. This play just happened to be in front of millions of people on the biggest stage of his career. That's it.
