Finally at the last eight patriot Friday in preparation for the season opener vs the Tennessee Titans. Conversation with Rob Ninkovich has brought to buy -- that. Rob joins us on the AT&T -- AT&T forgy LTE was speeds up to ten times after the three GAT and T rethink possible good morning rob how aria. More I'm wondering how does the dynamic of up practice and meetings and locker -- changed when the pre season is over. And now you're getting ready for real game number one. There you -- who are. -- -- -- Her attorney Eric. There's really not much. Preparation or C game. In the regular season you know all really. Focus what they do and go you know -- the -- appliances. You know try and attack the things that they do so -- I think that's. No obviously in the preceding parallel work you know locker room well you know -- full -- They're these guys -- here he doesn't see a change -- -- years of history. So. On it yet there's this really just focus and an arm you know what there was a -- specifically you'll also. So essentially go from pre season -- it's a general football practice with -- drills and generic stuff for -- specifics of the Tennessee Titans correct. Here yet they how how are breaking news is that final cut down day for guys I -- probably not much for Tom Brady but for everybody else. I mean and yet it's that is as follows days where. -- care for your own. We're on our -- -- look at every few few hours and or not he has pictures. Stadium number call -- here you know cola. Are all court debacle are suffering are the -- And you know it's. It just slows things that. He -- do the best and they are trying to answer the truth and coaches this year you're able person for a signature. The last time it took on the titans believe the scores 59 nothing and should we expect that again the fifth but are you going to be beat him by being -- -- run up -- -- So be nice. It's been able to set October game and there are about seek picture on the ground as accurate numbers correctly. I don't know on you know. Com. I was. Those -- great a great victory for what's currently completely different team now you're you're you're from a quarterback. You know -- quarterback. A lot of different there's different guys on her also and so. He I would really got to focus in on then this year and -- the brand new year her for us to present so most of it but yeah. That if your -- pass rusher. What do you prefer he's generally think pass -- before and in mobile quarterback but in mobile quarterbacks that dropped back to get rid of the ball like -- You know Drew Bledsoe Joseph Flacco guys who can't run can't move in on the know what to -- when they get rid of the ball in June of preferably for them before he can hit him. Or you rather go against the scramble -- he's always -- he got good speed Monica. Not necessarily Vick who's known news re invented the position -- -- a Jake Locker can run can get outside the pocket. Does that worry you as they pass rusher are excites you because when he feels the heat he's gonna scrambled and you get the run him down. I mean there's two different dynamic sectors to pass first run over the American scramble over there are some of our quarterback. You know obviously -- -- heaven on control pass rush because regardless Iran involved and you have openings. That are taking your nerves you know get a lot of yards so. Are you you really are the obvious mark rusher in the sense not given him many of those -- That set up in Cuba Iran ordered it out of the -- currency used three different mentality with the got a coupon. You know that -- recorder back you know they're going to be in -- -- -- -- are trying to you know. Own because older than you withdraw. All our guards that can run -- news. The leg and there are you know so all of the guys that that can get out Largo little challenging because they're cute it it makes complete sense words in their backyard article air cover. But I think once she get them flushed from the pocket like half the battles -- -- wonder what you think there were initially they wanted to drop back three steps five steps and throw. When you flush in the pocket they might break a play here and make a play but. You've got them if you screwed up the plight. Here yeah I mean when they gonna -- -- Different directions the current receiver great news over the destructive back or -- -- or -- broke out you know. It is apparently change disastrous series being ominous sense so. The spending you know the past that the guy you know all the trials -- it's. The maximum mop up must that must sort of Iraq about the -- You put our vote yes you know -- -- you know after all you're late you're scrambling slaves -- you know and make some big plays -- -- so. -- your character your the failure. In the knowledge that certain. And the play and make it obviously are there. There rob how much film was available to look at Jake Locker I would think a guy like can there be a lot of stuff to look at. Every column REV you're at some gains last year all the preceding. The gossip and so are you. -- Bigger say a look at the film and you know you were there offers those with cement -- -- -- film obviously. He got a good off arm in -- throws -- actually be right in. These aren't auto market -- organism. You know however -- -- short what. It is separate note that this is going to be -- -- -- Your career -- make things. Not your typical form -- obviously the running game and you know you're importance on. Erupt and good for one stupid question or interview you'll you'll you'll learn that over the course of this year so here it is how do you know. When your football team is ready to play and how do you know when you were rated ago. Or. Mean that that's what. That's with the right there in the week of preparations or are you put him. We put on ours you. Prepare so each week so that we -- our field on Sunday. Are there our game plan we're confident. In the what we know they're gonna prepare so are yet to come in the preparation. -- more prepared you're more ready or. Granada are so great question well you know pretty -- go out there hey. -- corner not faired well that's a week old that we are cloture vote for the game. And -- game there a greater role. -- you guys your defense wasn't very good statistically last two or near the bottom you went to the Super Bowl anyway he almost won the super global. The question now rob is the defense better is this defense better than it was last year. Not think their. -- one looks at third that glaring experts are you know Leo actually work against lesser. Aren't your councilman -- your vote. -- But not think that if you're currently. You know younger you know we have -- you know from couple -- -- There aren't really help both -- in Chandler. Are murky of the term a little bit. He's you know he's he's pretty cute but you know we know that things to work on. Are individually. Contrary these derby are gonna be good position for so. Not think that. Everything is looking -- know got to make sure we go out there and electrocuted and we need to do. And now you know I think lesser -- nearly overthrow of turnovers in Europe to the future turnout operation earlier top. Up Italy so while we work. There are only lecture and hit the ball offers. You know I'll think -- -- -- isn't worse so we are here to -- record in the sense that you're interceptions fumbles. Are they tables turn over to your -- the more opportunity to score. Our rob final question and ten bonus points for you if you can pronounce the new titans last name.
