S Adrian Colbert

(On when the Dolphins called and wanted to take him off Seattle’s practice squad…) – “Was I surprised? Kind of. I was surprised. I was waiting, waiting for an opportunity from just anybody to call. I’m happy the Dolphins did because you all know I’m from – I played out here for a year and got real accustomed to being in the 305.”

(Did they have you working today primarily at safety, free safety?) – “Free safety.”

(And as you look back at your time with the 49ers starting there, are you pleased with what you put on tape before the injury?) – “Oh, yeah – 100 percent. Like last year? Not totally. I struggled early in the season for many reasons, but I started picking it up before I got injured, a little bit before I got injured. I’m happy now. I’m in a good place. I’m healthy. I’m ready to play again.”

(Have you done any work at corner at the all the last couple years with the 49ers or just the opposite?) – “No.”

(And do you feel like you’re an NFL safety now who could play corner?) – “Yes, sir.”

(Strengths as a safety? You would point to what as things what you do well?) – “Speed, instincts, tackling.”

(And your year with the University of Miami – things you learned from Manny Diaz and that staff which you think have helped you, would be what?) – “Just being versatile, being open-minded about playing different positions. Like I know, at this organization, they move their defensive backs around. That – playing with Coach Diaz, I played with him at Texas, too – but playing with Diaz, it enabled me to open my mind to play different positions.”

(You mentioned briefly coming back to Miami. Is there even more a little bit of a comfort level having been in Miami before?) – “Oh, yeah – 100 percent. Just knowing the place, knowing a lot of people here, knowing people in the locker room, it makes it easier. It makes the transition easier and more comfortable for me.”

(You overlapped a little bit with DT Gerald Willis a little bit at the University of Miami?) – “Yeah.”

(What’s the like, both of you today getting added to the roster?) – “It was fun. I haven’t seen ‘G’ (Gerald Willis) in a minute, but it was good seeing him out here. Just seeing him and Trent (Harris). Him, Trent and Allen (Hurns) – I didn’t get to play with Allen, but I know him. It’s good being around those guys. Us Miami boys got to stay together.”

(Nice to have the big ‘U’ representation here?) – “Yeah I mean, you know I keep it on me.”
