The New England Patriots simulated game conditions for Sunday by taking a 31-minute "halftime" break during Wednesday's practice according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. After practicing for an hour, the Patriots went inside the locker room for 30 minutes as they will during halftime of Super Bowl XLVI before returning to the field to finish out the second half of the practice. "Coach Belichick is a genius," said Patriots running back Stevan Ridley. "He's special. That was coach Belichick doing his thing. "To come up with that idea shows you what he's thinking about. He knows what's going to work and he's been around longer than any of us, and he's doing everything he can to get us prepared." Even when the team came in at halftime of the practice, Belichick spoke to them as if it were halftime of the Super Bowl. "We were sitting in there and we had a halftime talk like it'll be Sunday," Ridley said. "He wanted this to be like a game experience, as close as we could get."
