INDIANAPOLIS -- Justin Tuck wasn't about to get caught up in alluding to the reputation of another opposing offensive line again.

The "dirtbag" drama with the Falcons was enough for Tuck in one postseason. But he was asked about the Patriots' offensive line and the mini feud between Matt Light and Osi Umenyiora.

"That was an individual matchup between Osi and Matt," Tuck said. "I'm not even going down that road."

When asked about whether the Patriots O-line plays dirty at all, Tuck handled that one deftly.

"I think they play well together," Tuck said. "I haven't seen anything on film that would suggest them being dirty. But honestly, in the trenches, everybody has some kind of dirtiness to them. I think anytime you talk about D-line or offensive line play, the word dirty can be used."

WHAT 'TREL SAY: Antrel Rolle held court with the Super Bowl media on Monday and he discussed why he has been so outspoken at times this season again. In case you missed it before the NFC Championship Game, Rolle and his family gave ESPNNewYork.com a glimpse into what makes the safety click, how he learned all about teamwork and leadership during Hurricane Andrew and why he became a vocal leader this season and says things on behalf of his teammates when he actually hates talking.

"You don’t want to be labeled as a guy who is a cancer in the locker room or a guy who is a big mouth," Rolle told reporters of what his mother, Armelia, warned him last year. "I am like, 'Mom, I hear you.' But I don’t look at the beginning of the tunnel. I look at the end of the tunnel. I don't say anything that is not meaningful or can't help my teammates."

KIWI RETURNS: Mathias Kiwanuka has flown from Newark to his hometown of Indianapolis probably a hundred times. But he has never taken a flight quite like this one.

"It's a familiar flight," the linebacker said of his homecoming. "I have done the flight so many times, that it was just like i was going home. But being here for this purpose is fun. The city definitely did it big. I'm proud."

Kiwanuka was asked by reporters who is his favorite quarterback to sack. He said Peyton Manning because he grew up a Colts fan.
