Did you see the press snippet Reiss posted? I believe he "mumbled" because of the situation with Pierre ... and couple of other guys...

I wonder if Woods is out for a couple of games and Colvin is just here to stop up the gap? They might even cut him then, especially if he isn't showing up.

This will be an interesting side-plot to watch this month.

#95 - kind of gets to keep his old #59.

Everything I heard was pointing to he wasn't a good fit for their defensive scheme. Whatever that means, coming out of Houston.

Correct. They were using him as a 4-3 pass-rushing DE and he clearly didn't have the burst to be successful in that scheme.

Leave No Doubt

I trust BB and Co. on their evaluation of Rosie's health,skills,and usefulness here so his signing is awesome news! We need some pass rush goin' on

I hope Woods will be ok-we'll have a little depth going forward. Maybe Rosie'll be situational for awhile or down the road? Either way

Hope this has more to do with Woods than AD... also hope he has some gas in the tank..

Ring around Rosy - Reiss' Pieces - Boston.com

This is an odd quote I think I read it in the wrong context first. I think Colvin is just saying "it's good to play football, its been a part of my life for 14 years, even if it takes away from my personal life". When I first read it, I thought it meant he had something wrong in his personal life that's been bothering him for 14 years...

As for the bolded part - I sure hope its for more than a couple of games. Let's hope its for 8 games

And even then, as I expressed in the other thread, if Colvin returns to 100%, then I would most certainly consider brining him back next year. The strongest defense we could field probably has Adalius at SILB on running downs and then moving AD to the outside with [a healthy] Colvin in the nickel.

Also, this may also have something to do with Vrabel [apparently playing through a shoulder injury] being needed for every snap last Sunday. Either way, whether it is for AD, Woods or Vrabel, or a combination of the three, Colvin helps the depth.

Reiss has a more detailed transcript of the interview than Price. I found a part that almost made me giddy...

I have no questions about Rosie. I presume that we waited to allow to get healthier. Even at 50%, he is a OK backup, or even situational, OLB. That's enough to be on the 53 man roster.

One question is about the availability of Woods and Thomas over the next month. There is also a side question on what confidence in having Redd get a greater role. However, if Woods is out next week, there is little choice short of a 4-3 defense.

Another is about the avilability of Warren.
