“Yeah, I think it’s too much information,” Rodgers said, via Packersnews.com. “In 2008 there used to be no headset on defense, so the defense had to signal in every play and that was part of the whole ‘Spygate’ issue and filming signals and what-not.

"But now you have mics on both guards most of the time and you pick up everything that the quarterback says when we’re at home, and sometimes on the road as well, and I think that’s a competitive advantage for the defense and it makes you have to work that much harder with your dummy words and your live and your dead words.
