Speaker 1: quality health coverage at an affordable rate With Amy Wells.
Speaker 1: I'm Mike Keith and we're joined in the Snickers Hot
Speaker 1: Seat today by the newest member of Titans Radio, Ramon Foster.
Speaker 2: Welcome, thank you, Thank you both.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Snickers hot Seat.
Speaker 3: I see them over my left shoulder. I was wondering
Speaker 3: where they were real, where they real? They are one
Speaker 3: percent real. If I want to grab one like Amy
Speaker 3: did last week.
Speaker 2: I could, Yeah, you could?
Speaker 1: You should?
Speaker 2: I should.
Speaker 4: I think that there should be more eating and less
Speaker 4: talking on this show show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's your policy, that's my policy. But we want
Speaker 1: to talk to Ramone Foster because we're excited to have
Speaker 1: him as part of Titan's Radio.
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
Speaker 1: How has he done in his first three games on
Speaker 1: the sidelines. How would you grade him?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: Phenomenal.
Speaker 4: It's an I mean this is not just me talking
Speaker 4: because he's sitting right here and he's a very big dude.
Speaker 4: Really truly, it's been fantastic to listen to. You seem
Speaker 4: like you've been doing this forever. And the insights that
Speaker 4: Ramon has are so interesting. He sees the game in
Speaker 4: a completely different way than I have ever seen the game,
Speaker 4: or then I would think a lot of people see
Speaker 4: the game. Just the things that you notice on the
Speaker 4: sidelines are so different than what I notice. And it's
Speaker 4: really interesting to listen to. And your voice just fits
Speaker 4: in very well with the group, and that's a real thing.
Speaker 2: That is a thing, huh, it fits.
Speaker 3: I appreciate that because I knew there was a lot
Speaker 3: of pressure. Amy has held it down, and of course,
Speaker 3: following her up being a part of you guys's crew
Speaker 3: for so long, I was thinking than myself, don't mess
Speaker 3: this up. Please get Amy's approval, okay after game one,
Speaker 3: and a part of everything that I've done so far
Speaker 3: has been because our conversation we had was really good
Speaker 3: before I took the sidelines for the first time. But
Speaker 3: you guys might keep you Coach mac Ratt, just everybody involved,
Speaker 3: Phil Noel, Brad, Everybody's just been a part have welcomed
Speaker 3: me in to make me feel that comfortable to where
Speaker 3: I could just do my thing on the sideline and
Speaker 3: see those things that you guys maybe up top don't see.
Speaker 2: And it's been it's been a real cool experience so far.
Speaker 1: So I appreciate you played eleven years for the Steelers,
Speaker 1: You're only four years removed from being an active player.
Speaker 1: How different is the sideline view as a quote unquote
Speaker 1: member of a radio team compared to being on the
Speaker 1: sideline age a player. U, It is slightly different, just
Speaker 1: because I have the opportunity to see everything.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: The defense makes a mistake, I can see that more
Speaker 3: clearly now. The conversations between the coaches and the players
Speaker 3: on the sideline is something that you don't see because
Speaker 3: you're so locked in as a player. So getting an
Speaker 3: opportunity to always wonder what that was like and actually
Speaker 3: being able to do it now on the sideline is
Speaker 3: the reason why I'm so engaged. I have to tell
Speaker 3: myself sometimes talking to Philip in my ear, I gotta
Speaker 3: shut up because I'm calling out everything that you guys
Speaker 3: already talking about because I'm so into the game. Because
Speaker 3: as a player, you was always told if you're not
Speaker 3: actually playing, watch what's going on at the field so
Speaker 3: that you can digest stuff, and so that you can
Speaker 3: communicate what the coach is something they may miss. So
Speaker 3: my first year in the NFL reserve role for the
Speaker 3: most part, so watching the right tackle and the left
Speaker 3: tackle at the same time. It was always something that
Speaker 3: was on my hit list and make sure that we
Speaker 3: didn't miss anything. So now I'm being able to watch
Speaker 3: the flow of the game, an understanding glowing down and
Speaker 3: distant situations, whether they're probably more likely to throw the
Speaker 3: ball right here or looking at the way the stances
Speaker 3: of players are. I can tell when they're going to
Speaker 3: run the ball, I can tell when they're going to
Speaker 3: pass the and just being alert for that, especially in
Speaker 3: the matchup situation. I'm watching Deniko Autrey this past weekend
Speaker 3: and seeing the way the tackle said against him or
Speaker 3: the way he set his feed up. I figured it
Speaker 3: was gonna end up being a pass for us and
Speaker 3: it was or third and one, and watching Deniko attack
Speaker 3: the line, the tight end split and split both of
Speaker 3: them for TfL like I enjoy watching the process of
Speaker 3: a play developing, which is why I want.
Speaker 2: To lend my expertise to you guys.
Speaker 4: One of the things that's so interesting to me is
Speaker 4: that five different people can watch a football game, and
Speaker 4: they all see completely different things, and it depends on
Speaker 4: the perspective that you're coming from. So I watch a
Speaker 4: lot of football with Mike Keith, obviously because we work
Speaker 4: so close together. And the way that you watch a
Speaker 4: play develop or the way that you watch a football
Speaker 4: game is very wide because you are used to calling
Speaker 4: a game and so you see the whole field. When
Speaker 4: you watch with a former player, a lot of times
Speaker 4: you see that position and they are so locked in
Speaker 4: in the intricacies of how a certain position or a
Speaker 4: certain side of the ball plays. When you watch with
Speaker 4: a coach, you get more, not strategy, but you get
Speaker 4: almost more minutia when it comes to a specific play
Speaker 4: or like that broke down or this guy was supposed
Speaker 4: to go there, and they see in a very different way.
Speaker 4: It's so fascinating to me, and it's one of the
Speaker 4: things about sports that I think is so cool and
Speaker 4: I think is kind of unique to football in that
Speaker 4: there's so much happening on a single play. There's so
Speaker 4: many things to digest. I just think that that's an
Speaker 4: incredible thing. And being able to have that on Titan's Radio,
Speaker 4: having the coach's perspective, the player's perspective and the overall
Speaker 4: perspective of what's happening in a game.
Speaker 2: I mean, what more could you want?
Speaker 3: And that's fascinating you say that, And I've always communicated
Speaker 3: with you guys where I'll be at on the field.
Speaker 3: I like to watch the team that i'm reviewing, the
Speaker 3: type from behind the offense.
Speaker 2: Put me behind the offensive line.
Speaker 3: That's my lane right there, so I can see this
Speaker 3: team go down the fence, because that's always how I
Speaker 3: played the game. If I'm watching the defense, I get
Speaker 3: behind the defense. That way, I can see the front
Speaker 3: line first, the linebackers make their plays, and if something
Speaker 3: happens on the back end with the secondary always my perspective.
Speaker 3: And you're right, Coach Mack watches it from an up
Speaker 3: top view and when he breaks it down, he'll see
Speaker 3: the entire field. I'm saying it by phase, front line,
Speaker 3: secondary line, and then the back end. And it's always
Speaker 3: fascinating to see what I see first, as usually starts
Speaker 3: up front, and then I watch the linebackers make a
Speaker 3: play and then the safeties come down offensively. If it
Speaker 3: breaks down up front for the OL then I'm anno
Speaker 3: it immediately because that's where I start to work my
Speaker 3: way back and outside with that, you're one hundred percent correct,
Speaker 3: is different watching the game from that perspective. Keith Bullock
Speaker 3: we had on recently and he watches it from the
Speaker 3: linebacker position first, to the D line to the secondary.
Speaker 2: It is a different perspective that way.
Speaker 1: Ramon Foster, the challenge, at least one challenge for the
Speaker 1: Titans in this camp has been trying to pull the
Speaker 1: offensive line together to make them a cohesive unit. In
Speaker 1: terms of how you do that, what are the intricate
Speaker 1: parts that have to go on and the things that
Speaker 1: you have seen as they have tried to develop that.
Speaker 3: I would say this, and it's gonna sound weird saying,
Speaker 3: but failure you have to have some bad moments, and
Speaker 3: those bad moments it forces us to communicate what do
Speaker 3: I need to do to service you better?
Speaker 2: What do you need to do to help me out better?
Speaker 3: That's always going to play a part as far as
Speaker 3: developing a group. If it was all pieces and cream
Speaker 3: from the get go, guess what, we even have an
Speaker 3: opportunity to talk about any of them because everything is
Speaker 3: perfect and we know the game of football is too
Speaker 3: many moving pieces for it to ever be a perfect game,
Speaker 3: so that's where it would start. And then having those
Speaker 3: guys communicate on the sideline. Hey, in this situation, I
Speaker 3: saw this guy tip his hand, or I saw the
Speaker 3: linebacker say a word to him.
Speaker 2: Anytime we hear this, let's do it.
Speaker 3: It's always a small, finite things that really builds a
Speaker 3: team up. And the inner moving of players too, always
Speaker 3: plays a part in it. We've seen some reserved guys
Speaker 3: come in and these preseason games and of course a
Speaker 3: breakdown WI happened, and you say to yourself, well, this
Speaker 3: is why were more successful with this group as opposed
Speaker 3: to the second group that we had in because you
Speaker 3: see what works in those situations.
Speaker 2: It is a beautiful process to watch five guys.
Speaker 3: Work at one It's the only position on the field
Speaker 3: where five individuals have to be on the same page,
Speaker 3: discussing levels as far as protections, discussing run blocking, whether
Speaker 3: I'm going if I'm stronger going to my right as
Speaker 3: opposed to my left. Then knowing that I have to
Speaker 3: ask for help. Also, that's always a big part of
Speaker 3: offensive line play known as big dudes that are super tough,
Speaker 3: but you always ask for help because me talk to
Speaker 3: you about what I need helps us as a group
Speaker 3: be better. I've seen the offensive lineman and I've been
Speaker 3: a part of a group all five of us are
Speaker 3: wrong as far as the play goes, but as far
Speaker 3: as the assignment and completing it with no sacks, one
Speaker 3: hundred percent right on it and you score and plays
Speaker 3: like that because from left to right, as long as
Speaker 3: you're on the same page, you're gonna be more right
Speaker 3: as far as the outcome of the play than that.
Speaker 4: So in terms of developing the cohesion of say, who's
Speaker 4: going to be the starting five for the Tennessee Titans
Speaker 4: at the beginning of the regular.
Speaker 2: Season, it was actually really good.
Speaker 4: Per Ramon Foster that throughout the preseason we saw some
Speaker 4: different kind of phases of this offense developed. So in
Speaker 4: the first preseason game we saw them come out, they
Speaker 4: did and played what a series two series something like that. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and then they were done because it was a great
Speaker 4: opening drive to start the game. In week two they
Speaker 4: played for a an entire quarter because there was a
Speaker 4: lot of three and outs there in that first quarter.
Speaker 4: What you're saying is that something like that is really good.
Speaker 2: That's the natural flow of the game right there.
Speaker 3: Everybody, every offensive coordinator has a script, and that script
Speaker 3: is beautiful until you get punched in the mouth. In Minnesota,
Speaker 3: that crowd was loud. It was an on the road
Speaker 3: environment and doors, and it was a little hot. Even
Speaker 3: though it was indoors. You felt the heat presence of
Speaker 3: it too. And also having noticed that it was gonna
Speaker 3: be Malik's game, so now they have an opportunity to
Speaker 3: hone in on the quarterback and that makes your jobs
Speaker 3: a little bit harder too, specifically because we had to
Speaker 3: figure out what Malik was gonna be capable of at
Speaker 3: the quarterback position. They made it their job early on
Speaker 3: to stop the run, which is why they had to
Speaker 3: go three and out and back on the field. Those
Speaker 3: types of situations are always good because not every game
Speaker 3: is going to be perfect. You can't average, and they
Speaker 3: did later on in the game. You can't average ten
Speaker 3: yards of carry in the first quarter more times than not. Yes,
Speaker 3: absolutely no possible way that's going to be the case
Speaker 3: for an offensive line. The four teams who in preseason
Speaker 3: so seeing them go for a quarter and go to
Speaker 3: the sala and finally pick it up. They chipped at
Speaker 3: the rock until Tase got the big run and that
Speaker 3: right there.
Speaker 2: Built that cohesion, that belief.
Speaker 3: They look, even if it's not working early, let's just
Speaker 3: keep doing our job, and they did and finally had
Speaker 3: that big break with Tase.
Speaker 1: Continue with Ramone Foster on the OTP momentarily after we
Speaker 1: remind you it's always game on with Duncan, So grab
Speaker 1: a coffee and kick off the action. Whether that's drinking
Speaker 1: a cup of coffee on your way to the game
Speaker 1: or grabbing one to go before watching the game at home,
Speaker 1: Duncan is always there to help you get your game on,
Speaker 1: just like the pros. Like Ramone Foster, we need to
Speaker 1: be at our best come game time, which is why
Speaker 1: Duncan is the most important part of your game day
Speaker 1: ritual because it's always the best call for Football America
Speaker 1: runs on Duncan. Two part question Ramone Foster. As we
Speaker 1: continue about Aaron Brewer, it has been said by several
Speaker 1: people who know ball that he is a better center
Speaker 1: than he is guard. A. Do you believe that? And B,
Speaker 1: If so, why do I believe that?
Speaker 2: Yes? I do.
Speaker 3: Just size doesn't really matter a whole lot, but it's
Speaker 3: certain body frames and types that work better at certain positions.
Speaker 2: I could play tackle in the NFL.
Speaker 3: But I'm better off as a guard. Body type, fits it, arms, stize,
Speaker 3: all those things matter. I look at Aaron Brower and
Speaker 3: said this to Straits. As far as being the starting
Speaker 3: center in this league, most of them are are not
Speaker 3: really big. They hold between as far as been six ' two,
Speaker 3: six ' one all the way up to six four.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't put a six to sixth center in the
Speaker 3: game at all. I know there's one around the NFL.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't do that, just the.
Speaker 2: Height difference of it.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: As far as the quarterback seeing them and levers too,
Speaker 3: He's strong, he's quick, he moves well side to side.
Speaker 3: He can pull around trash is what we've said, not trash,
Speaker 3: but around the guard tackles and tight ends. We see
Speaker 3: him do those things, and he doesn't have to carry
Speaker 3: the blunt of having a one on one each and
Speaker 3: every play. Most times he lined up, he will have
Speaker 3: a shade or he'll be uncovered. His biggest task that
Speaker 3: he's gonna get is having a linebacker trying to run
Speaker 3: through his face, or if they go a solid five
Speaker 3: down man and they'll have a man over him and
Speaker 3: two guys over both sent I mean both guards. That's
Speaker 3: his only adversity he's ever going.
Speaker 2: To have to have.
Speaker 3: And just he's smart. That always plays a part in
Speaker 3: the center probably has to be the second smartest guy
Speaker 3: on your team aside from the quarterback. He should know
Speaker 3: almost everything that the quarterback does except for the routes,
Speaker 3: potentially shelves, coverages, defenses, strong week seeing safety shift down.
Speaker 3: I know he's capable of doing those things because he's
Speaker 3: still here on this team and he's been around to
Speaker 3: know the system.
Speaker 1: He may be one of the five best overall athletes
Speaker 1: on this team. Does that make a big difference in
Speaker 1: his success at that position he does?
Speaker 3: On that taj run we speak about in Minnesota, if
Speaker 3: he isn't limber enough, athletic enough to cut off that
Speaker 3: big nose tackle, that play is dead. When I saw that,
Speaker 3: I pointed to people at my job in my morning
Speaker 3: show and said, without Aaron Brewer, this play is dead
Speaker 3: because that tackle is gonna h That d tackle was
Speaker 3: going to tackle him. He was strong enough to cut
Speaker 3: him off and quick enough to wall them off so
Speaker 3: that he could take that leaping run for the touchdown.
Speaker 3: Those types of thing is what makes you great. Let's
Speaker 3: go to Kelsey and Philadelphia. He's a guy that we
Speaker 3: rave about because while he's great in space, and he's
Speaker 3: quick and he's tough, you have a guy just like
Speaker 3: that in Nashville and Aaron Brower and I say this,
Speaker 3: I'm cautiously optimistic about what he could be because all
Speaker 3: it takes is the way we get noticed offensive lineman
Speaker 3: is being good in space.
Speaker 2: If Derek Tanninghill or.
Speaker 3: Trailing or d Hop have a screen down the sideline
Speaker 3: and he's running up the sideline making blocks, that's where
Speaker 3: the conversation is. This guy's a stud, which we'll know that,
Speaker 3: but the rest of the world will see that, and
Speaker 3: that's when he starts to get in the conversation of
Speaker 3: Pro Bowl and top centers in the league. And that's
Speaker 3: where you get noticed when you play a position like that. So, yes, Mike,
Speaker 3: his athletic ability is going to do nothing but great
Speaker 3: things for this team, considering, of course, staying healthy, sure,
Speaker 3: keeping his strength, and staying on top of his game.
Speaker 4: Well, and he can do a backflip, Well.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. I mean crazy, yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean they utilized him at one point in the backfield
Speaker 1: when he first got here. Because he he does have
Speaker 1: some unusual skills. Let me ask you about Peter Skeronsky.
Speaker 1: When the Titans took him at number eleven, the whole
Speaker 1: world said, massive win for the team. He's going to
Speaker 1: be here for however many years he's going to be.
Speaker 1: He has the potential to be a Pro Bowl type player.
Speaker 1: What you've seen so far of Skeroonsky, does he meet
Speaker 1: the hype?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 3: The best thing about peters Kesky? Okay, we hadn't heard
Speaker 3: a word about him.
Speaker 2: Yes, he does.
Speaker 3: Mike to get around that question, Yes, he has to
Speaker 3: pedigree the smarts and the poets. I've watched him on
Speaker 3: the sideline. Nothing excites him, which is good. He doesn't
Speaker 3: seem like he's a deer in the headlights whenever he
Speaker 3: lines up, and he finishes and understand the game. Watching
Speaker 3: him and Andre dial at work with each other, you
Speaker 3: can tell communication has been at all time high.
Speaker 2: But not just that, the confidence of it too.
Speaker 3: He's going against somebody who's an All pro here in
Speaker 3: Nashville and Jeffrey Simmons. That is one, by far, one
Speaker 3: of the best tests any offensive lineman can have in
Speaker 3: this league is to battle him every day in practice
Speaker 3: in most days.
Speaker 2: I like what I see out of the young guy.
Speaker 3: The rookie is going to have a huge challenge in
Speaker 3: front of him, because if I was a d lineman,
Speaker 3: I try to run down his face, okay.
Speaker 2: Just to test him, just to see what he's capable of.
Speaker 3: But everything that I've seen so far in the preseason,
Speaker 3: they've tried that, and he's pushed back. And he is
Speaker 3: a name that you don't hear during our games, right,
Speaker 3: you don't mention him, and that's the best possible thing
Speaker 3: you can do. But this is also the case. His
Speaker 3: run blocking has been well and his pass pro too.
Speaker 3: They runffiently on left and right side of the ball
Speaker 3: because that interior that.
Speaker 2: Broer, Bronskull and Peter.
Speaker 3: They have held their own up the middle, and I
Speaker 3: would say the young fella is a big part of that.
Speaker 4: You know, you touched on something that I was gonna mention,
Speaker 4: which is the Titans are done with training camp now
Speaker 4: they're getting into the flow of what a regular season
Speaker 4: is going to be like. And this team has come
Speaker 4: off of This offensive line has come off of weeks
Speaker 4: of going up against the Titans defense, and there's a
Speaker 4: lot of strong defensive linemen on that side of the ball.
Speaker 4: How beneficial is that to them for their preparation, especially
Speaker 4: when you're developing that cohesion. You've got a lot of
Speaker 4: new faces and you're going up against some dudes on
Speaker 4: the defensive side of the ball.
Speaker 1: And you're going to see some in Week one in
Speaker 1: New Orleans too. That is a very underrated defense.
Speaker 2: It is very underrate.
Speaker 3: They have outside Russias and guys up the middle that
Speaker 3: can get to the quarterbacks on top of some one
Speaker 3: of the best linebackers in the NFL too. But that's
Speaker 3: good though, Amy on the on the status of I
Speaker 3: know there was a lot of trash talking. I know
Speaker 3: they knew that they had to go push and fight
Speaker 3: and get the most out of this bump. You got
Speaker 3: to think of it other than Aaron Brewer, everybody on
Speaker 3: this offensive line is new or have low experience here
Speaker 3: in Nashville on how they play, and I know the
Speaker 3: challenge was probably pushed out to them, Hey go make
Speaker 3: those guys tough and as far as from the defensive line,
Speaker 3: and they did. We heard early, of course, dilat versus
Speaker 3: are and key being a thing we Jeff and Peter
Speaker 3: Skensky going at it. It's not an easy day with
Speaker 3: when when Brewer has to take on Tierra, you know
Speaker 3: all those things, and I feel like they've.
Speaker 2: Answered the call.
Speaker 3: As far as this training camp suggests, battle tested is
Speaker 3: one thing. In practice, we've seen some of their fruits
Speaker 3: of their labor in these preseason games. I'm confident that
Speaker 3: this group can be can be the reason this offense
Speaker 3: is successful.
Speaker 1: Are they blocking things differently in the run game from
Speaker 1: what you've seen in the Tim Kelly offense so far
Speaker 1: than what you've seen them do in the past.
Speaker 3: What I've seen from this group is this, and I'm
Speaker 3: not sure if many people have paid attention to it.
Speaker 3: Their double teams are solid. The way I've seen Daniel
Speaker 3: Bronskoll and Chris Hubbard engaged to move a guy to
Speaker 3: the second level, or watching Peter Skeronsky and Aaron Brewer
Speaker 3: block on the backside zone plate, I don't think we've
Speaker 3: paid enough attention to the way their combination blocks have
Speaker 3: been up front. It's funny because we always seen in
Speaker 3: the NFL, you're not blowing people off the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 3: I've actually seen this group move the line. Coaches need
Speaker 3: one yard I've seen sometimes in the run game, these
Speaker 3: guys get a yard and a half, two yards, like
Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage moves forward, and I didn't want
Speaker 3: to believe it because I'm like, this can't be possible
Speaker 3: in the NFL. You don't move bodies like this. You
Speaker 3: don't move the line of scrimmage. That's been one consistent
Speaker 3: phase that I've watched this group that I hadn't seen
Speaker 3: in years passing. Maybe it's because Mike Amy those dudes
Speaker 3: are trying to prove themselves. Think about the way this
Speaker 3: is set up. Sign Chris Hubbard early in the training camp.
Speaker 3: Andre Diller is going to prove it deal and essentially
Speaker 3: to be a starter. You got a rookie who's got
Speaker 3: a lot of pressure on him, a center with a
Speaker 3: lot of pressure on him on a franchise tame a
Speaker 3: franchise tag, and then you got Bronskoo coming from another
Speaker 3: team trying to prove himself too.
Speaker 2: It's fit to where you put a.
Speaker 3: T bone in the middle of a pack of dogs
Speaker 3: and say y'all better eat, and they seem to be
Speaker 3: catching up to eating and making other teams pay for it.
Speaker 1: What's your concern that hangs out there. As you've seen
Speaker 1: this group now for over five weeks together.
Speaker 3: It's always the first live game, the first two or
Speaker 3: three live games, wondering how you can protect the quarterback.
Speaker 3: We've seen them do it in a good fashion for
Speaker 3: the most part. Some leakage here there, but making sure
Speaker 3: that Ryan Tannehill stays up right. It's always going to
Speaker 3: be the biggest question for almost any offensive line, but
Speaker 3: specifically for this one. They hadn't gone an entire game
Speaker 3: with doing that. You always worry about until you see it.
Speaker 3: And that's my only contingency when it comes down to
Speaker 3: this offensive line them seeing the stunts and games up front,
Speaker 3: that doesn't bother me. It is the finish of the play.
Speaker 3: If Ryan Tannehill wants to hold onto the ball or
Speaker 3: if he starts to scramble outside of the pocket, can
Speaker 3: you protect them long enough?
Speaker 1: But you're confident from what you've seen that this offensive line,
Speaker 1: barring injury, is going to be better than last year's
Speaker 1: Titans offensive line.
Speaker 3: Yes, I'll definitively say that I do think they'll be better.
Speaker 2: And you know.
Speaker 3: Why, it's because you have that five that's kind of
Speaker 3: gone into that fox stand together to say this is about.
Speaker 3: This offense lies on our shoulders as far as us
Speaker 3: being successful. You have the running backs, you have the
Speaker 3: addition of DeAndre Hopkins, you have the same quarterback chig with.
Speaker 2: Expect to be so much better this year too, with
Speaker 2: some help.
Speaker 3: It falls on their backs, but I'm a firm believer
Speaker 3: that they can get this job done.
Speaker 1: More with Ramone Foster momentarily after, we remind you that
Speaker 1: seat geek is now the official ticketing partner of the
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. If you haven't heard the name yet, get
Speaker 1: used to it, because you'll be hearing it a lot
Speaker 1: more this season. Whether you're buying or selling tickets to
Speaker 1: Titans games or to any live event in Nashville, Seat
Speaker 1: geek is the place to do it. Seat Geek the
Speaker 1: new official ticketing partner of the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 4: So Titans fans, fans, well.
Speaker 1: Done, Amy, Thank you, Ramone Foster. I guess we call
Speaker 1: it a bye week before Week one? What do teams
Speaker 1: get done during this week?
Speaker 3: Small spurts of this week of the actual game plan
Speaker 3: Week one issues that have to be hashed out. Look
Speaker 3: at the tendensees that New Orleans had last year. See
Speaker 3: what's the bread and butter that they're going to go to.
Speaker 3: You get an extra jump on film study, which film.
Speaker 2: Is always big for pros.
Speaker 3: How can I watch those trench monsters that they have
Speaker 3: on the other side of the ball offensively? You probably
Speaker 3: go back and look at Las Vegas film, So see
Speaker 3: what Derek Carr is all about. What kind of pressures
Speaker 3: did he fall victim to? Having the ability to figure
Speaker 3: out what packages will they use as far as what
Speaker 3: their offense could be. And it's really just breaking down
Speaker 3: the bread and butter and find the Tennessee's and getting
Speaker 3: as much of them as you possibly can this week
Speaker 3: before that pressure of week one open, it jumps on you.
Speaker 4: How excited are you for Week one?
Speaker 3: You don't understand. I got in retirement, was like I'm done, y'all.
Speaker 3: I don't want to do this football thing. And I
Speaker 3: find myself thanks to you guys being knee deep into
Speaker 3: paying attention to what the NFL is all about. And
Speaker 3: I am excited. I say all the time. We get
Speaker 3: four seasons throughout the year, right, summer, spring, fall, and
Speaker 3: winter football should be included in that became it's that
Speaker 3: fun and imagine how this city's gonna be when it's
Speaker 3: week one, love.
Speaker 1: It and for you do you almost appreciate your career
Speaker 1: more now based on the fact that you're doing this
Speaker 1: job doing radio one one, OHO, four to five, joining
Speaker 1: us for Titans Radio, doing sidelines make it even more
Speaker 1: Say wow, I did that.
Speaker 3: And you know what, I had that thought in Minnesota
Speaker 3: because I guess so many people on the sideline I
Speaker 3: need room. But then I had to realize there's a
Speaker 3: business outside of what I did that happens on the sidelines.
Speaker 3: And I'll even say this too, my pathway into which
Speaker 3: I got those eleven being undrafted, so I can appreciate
Speaker 3: the guys, you know, like an Aaron Brewer, I can
Speaker 3: appreciate all those guys that's fighting for roster spots right now,
Speaker 3: Reggie Roberson's I get their struggle. I get what's happening,
Speaker 3: and I just try to view it from that standpoint,
Speaker 3: literally from the bottom of the bottom as an undrafted
Speaker 3: guy to being a start in his league for double
Speaker 3: digit years. Yeah, I get excited for the process of
Speaker 3: what this season is all about.
Speaker 2: That's awesome.
Speaker 1: He's pretty good, pretty good Pittsburgh week. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do with it. He can't even go sorry, studying.
Speaker 1: He's not even gonna be allowed to go.
Speaker 3: I you know what, I'm getting, threats on both sides
Speaker 3: have to take.
Speaker 2: I've got people in Pittsburgh talking, I got people here
Speaker 2: for you.
Speaker 1: They ain't paying you anymore. Yes, we are so glad
Speaker 1: to have you as part of our team and so
Speaker 1: much fun to just talk ball with. You. Have a Snickers.
