Rosevelt Colvin, Patriots LB

Joining us right now is our Super Bowl correspondent now I would say this when he joined us in studio last week we got as much reaction. Almost all unpacked all of that was positive we got as much reaction from Roosevelt Colvin the parents. As anything we've done lately Rosie the folks loved avenue in studio last thing we can talk and stuff.

Well I've really enjoyed myself and oh -- be invited back but as I do -- Is global corresponded.

Well Rosie said there was some criticism though some people think you just didn't talk enough and that's. You really about it could be a little more verbal just really come out of national viewers.

that there -- the problem it you gotta have -- the show is critiquing and and Downey people too much. If we can uplift these other than we have been at war with.

Okay obeyed -- died she will start Obama Quincy Jones on zero --

He's -- RAM news.

Oh. The -- now you told us last week. That you really have a good feeling about Arizona Cardinals in this game. You -- time to think about it you'd think the Cardinals. Can make this thing competitive did you see it being a good game.

I definitely think they can make it competitive but they again this issue would definitely have to be. There office and if they can. The ball on how they move the ball well you know looking at people don't talk about and and I have made the mistake myself -- not mentioning the cart before it. They create a lot of pressure on the quarterback on the opposing quarterback -- That they can do anything effectiveness in I think that definitely isn't -- in. It you know that old but if there's -- moment that they have and you know obtained a copy of the big he can continue to the first quarter. You know make you know even do first testament that we have to think one -- you -- very multiple roles in the in Akron do this. In multiple the first set his reports the scores you beatable team to kind of -- about China due to nerves -- By China polls for the cameras in pre game and what you get -- that there aren't you want to have you really really look on the last. They come out and -- both of those plays that have made it happened that I was disappointed in the game so. You know I look forward to be. Sort of even match. Early on and then -- people pulling him back in. I'd give it to be used. -- spirit because I have a for more. Boiler -- that -- most Alamo Bowl with me that you you know talk about it you know keep her on the carpet between.

500 dollar -- he's got his 500 dollar range innings to doing two rings worth a thousand combined 500 people -- It did a lot of money up not only is now I'm not saying is that a lot of money now compared to how much you that you're Super Bowl ring cost.

The appraised value for one of them around. --

While that more that's a lot more money in this economy might want to. Consider that gas a little baby then.

they're important. Try to be good to order what sort of let me with so Oprah won't have to do that Mac continued to. He'd been in my face in my in my in the I think that they looked as if they would they do is an element tribes.

And it would be safe exactly. Let me ask you this. There's not much doubt I think that Hines Ward will play I don't know how close to 100% he'll be but. If -- a 100% how much will that hurt the Steelers offensive attack the thing.

But they did it depends on how he comes out a thing of beauty and something happened in the game. He not practicing or years practicing in the initial pathetic game and a lot of times you have got to look at it is just should be court purposes. That's a credit -- what is he not the court. -- be part of our offense very. If you doubt that you can try to play his best in. It's that the situation that -- he may aggravate that game. And probably beat him as much in -- and you know that that sort of a part that. The Cardinals can put their pocketbook. Until game day bill member -- if you look at the if he can -- game between the Ravens and Steelers where there was some doubt that -- it may and it may not play. Because he injured his shoulder. I think he played that think you could tell that he was favoring the children not use it and then. You know it was -- that he aggravated so I think you've got to -- it and it manageable but -- the day. How manageable is that how productive can't be.

You know -- because of the Patriots success. Weeding and Boston had a lot a lot of opportunities view. Witness the Super Bowl activities. Over the last seven or eight years. But that's just that we haven't sat where where where -- Of the distractions are is over -- mean with the media day and all of the attention and all the parties. Is that is that something that you have to guard against where you ever tempted. Sued to get involved in anything that didn't have anything to do with the game.

Well -- have I have opportunities there's people of of that went off for the first your outlook saying I was on injured reserve console I was able to see. The part I've I was able to look at -- Beno and look at that. This aspect of the game that don't coincide with on the practice. A normal practice week in England -- game. The next year -- a part of the whole circus show and -- it in it was everything that if it was I'd have to be. But at the same it was also a great experience to have. And then I'll let last year I was in reserves well and that -- put starting -- so well I would say is you would give and -- met. He could Jakarta on table at city Cardinals. You know is that we going to be a situation where a lot of their guys going to be. Attempted but -- same time. We are used in. Meeting scheduled. A lot of you don't really have time to participate some of things to everything -- So. You -- it was roster. If than before probably. We 30% of all players would -- when they wanted a few years ago so -- it's sort of like. A reputed big group received and I agree with people. It's almost all and you know they can coop and prepared they can -- what did -- last don't try to do was -- differently. And that we that they that they feel like they need to do to perform as well.

or relative to give me an example like in 2003. It was the unknown for you in 2004. It was known -- part of the team what what is something. That you were ready for in 2004 that she had no idea to expect in 2003.

Well -- vet vet the biblical me I would be -- you have because I was able to physically play into global bought an aptitude go to meeting. You know. Two years and roll or two times because. To the other two times out upon attempt to team. I was you know sort of active in my own schedule and so. That there's a party every night there's opportunity do something every night I think today movie is Tuesday and -- went bankrupt. Wendell. On Monday month that the team's arrival Monday. Use the there's no -- on Monday or Tuesday. And -- view people do everything that you would pot we want to do advocate into an area I've -- on Wednesday start preparation. And if you could be professional about that QB but. As far as being typical -- party. Thank god go to regular -- well -- you know have a good time and lack. But something that uncommon -- because of what we you know people make a big deal about it but I don't think it it would be a major situation. You know illegal activity that you could be just got involved and has been in the past with. Oh we know we've got -- situation involved.

Rosie coaches talk all the time about preparation in the week leading up to the game being as normal as possible. How normal our Super Bowl practices how normal can they be given the magnitude of the game -- preparing for.

It's definitely abnormal. -- host events because. A normal week you come -- have ability work out more of you. Have to talk to community go to meetings you walk out of practice practice. Meeting in New -- on what noticeable you'd get a good morning. Go to meeting. And go to a big hit what the media that if you don't above which you know fifteen or so please -- escorted tour of practice facility. You going to -- well. The media there. And you get back on -- bus to go home as gifts that he did but it is definitely a totally different atmosphere and experience. So I think as medical was ready want to try to make as normal as possible thing. They'll be all repaired it is what it is pretty good deal with the situation and tried to not make it. Not make it you know popular you know out of the ordinary -- that not make it something that mediocre and the deal with the you know away country so. I think maturity began going back -- it was being there before. They understand they know. They have a -- with the suppression but didn't 48 pick is what that Giambi is gonna get it is in. I'm not going to worry about it and in a lot of different things that the you have to have a that you don't have the terrible. If you can minimize those distractions that you -- up -- up -- the focus on the game and make it that normal typical dispute well.

Before you came on out of Santa dale. That in Boston certain events this live forever some of the things that Bill Parcells did here more than ten years ago. Are still. Brought up every now and then I say that to say this how many times. This post season have you thought about. Giants versus Patriots. Last year in Arizona.

You know I think about it all of not via a magazine that so they're I -- that that the don't think they've ever really recognized edgier. I thought it'd diet. Very that they meant that this particular. We didn't capitalize that opportunity. -- You can't help but it skated because it's the part of history now. -- doing it said it best. We've been going to be a part of something special -- going to be remembered remembered that something that -- political Pettitte didn't do so special so. The as a team we didn't come out victorious. It's unfortunate that we didn't. It is difficult to do not think that part of whether you remove yourself all could be reduced. Just it was very difficult for me -- have do they attempt to block the co Q you'd better. So you know -- I think. Every year you know there's a new champion is crowned and masters champion. Is put to -- so. -- the -- will be forgotten that this year. -- there on the BBB that the continue to grow and will move forward if there's people who have forgotten about those chances and want it to about 2004.

Let me ask you one question about the Super Bowl last -- this one question -- your opinion here. Why. Did you guys blitz and you are playing in the game what did you blitz. On the key player game. You know Plaxico -- is that now what do you think they were trying to do there.

If you don't mind a lot he had been back has become the official bit of media I global. When Michael court records on bonds and paid -- paid course. My course spot -- battle I would vote to get a -- going to believe I would like we need to be get a ball but yet what side is. The -- call in -- been bill you know but.

We have some -- I was gonna say they by the college right now cause and effect.

If there's McNamee under court spot. My viewpoint audited this at what point you were at in the game.

I think a camera -- if the score was fourteen to.

Fourteen to ten. They had the ball on the seven yard not a putting yard line with roughly. It was under a minute left in the game. And -- because of these have approach. -- at all that the coach you need if they scored the kick a field goal cannot be used when the game. Oh in the situation where you call all out blitz. -- If they don't block if -- pressure on the quarterback. The quarterback. Broke the bat -- you make all the fumble. And you look up the clock to extorting complete test. If they pick up the -- And they kept the ball in the court -- down. Now you have that many seconds left on the clock as you reduce the kickoff return it is so many yards we get into field goal range. In order to keep it civil try to gain or to move ought to -- no no talk situation last year. We'd probably the we've did not get did it pick it up they scored a touchdown at -- they gave. I think forty or forty some odd second. To give the team of the Lawrence unfortunately. You know we gave up back on the first place in the next well it was more pressure. And that we that I -- opponent elevated try to keep the ball down -- so. Everybody was could department -- ball -- what I think you have to think proactively of -- what I was situation you're in. We had people -- everybody has been their ability he'd probably have the right they do you know we get who stepped respect. Well thank -- that we -- can't recall against Seattle this year in in the very what became to have -- strips back. Thank bit that we called in Buffalo in years and in any case we got the package is well. It is the situation is very very and people from about public and don't may not understand why but. Bob viewpoint that the reason why.

That's Barbara do you look at the insider but I'll I'll -- this income if I'm wrong. Knowing that was the call and if there was anyone question him after another question on this side knowing that was the call -- a blitz. Ellis Hobbs. Played at the right way he just got he got played he had knowing the blitz and of the guys get -- they only thing they'll have time for. If the blitzes successful with a -- correct.

If it is a three step drop correct -- have a corner. You have to know that okay we'll call all probably. The ball have to come out now well either if they wrote that the worse route -- quarter on all public of the double move because you happen. The bottom first move especially. With the bat against the goal line you can't back up. You have to make it and and you have either take they. The the straight. Investigated gambling got a quarterback over that role which it yet. May it may -- bat -- or. You don't take it and get right about being. I was that we -- he would follow. Or what I believe and yet you know about in if it didn't work out I think what did work out woes. -- a plan we get the ball back you know opportunity to of these tiny gain. We just state has made another play they made playing on net on the blitz. It's appropriate but was caught with a and then -- we -- often. They make the play wrap up the middle -- at. And not have it and you respect and stupid. That --

Enjoy the sun and fun of Tampa will talk to tomorrow.

Will appreciate it. My of course the battle it Mike if MI giving my myself on but it paid toward doing this.

Absolutely absolutely -- everything in you know -- cellphone paid for meals paid for. Hotel -- you want to rental car. I mean what do you want to well what do you what are you well Arnold's Bentley is that you sold. And a.

Driver I think you'd -- be great -- about parking.
