I remember Rodgers injury being RRH tackling Rodgers as he fell down in the pocket though, didn't have him wrapped, just dove for a sack.
Either way I guess I can see your point, and in either situation I think defensive players have to be able to comfortably feel like they can make plays on the football.
There was a play earlier in the GB/MIN game where a Packers DE had Cousins half wrapped and let him go only for Cousins to roll out and make a play. I think on that specific play the Packers player had thought Cousins threw the ball, but either way he let up because he was likely afraid to take a penalty.
