LB Elandon Roberts

(I wanted to ask you about this Titans play-action passing attack. It seems like that’s where a lot of their big yards come from. What’s been a key for you guys in that linebacker crew to be able to recognize when they are running the ball and when they are going to go play-action?) – “I think with preparation. We’ve just got to prepare for it and hone in on it. They do a lot of things good in the run game, play-action, drop-back. They are a complete offense and we’re going to have a big task on us this week. They have a lot of great players on that offense as well. It’s going to be a 60-minute ball game.”

(For years you went up against QB Ryan Tannehill on the flip side when you were with the Patriots and he was with the Dolphins. What do you remember from preparing for him those days?) – “To be honest, I don’t think I played against Tannehill. As a matter of fact, I want to say I played against him in Tennessee and not Miami. I think he was hurt those games. Obviously he’s a talented quarterback. He leads their offense good. He controls it all. He’s doing great things for his team. He looks to be a great teammate. Like I said, we’re going to have a big task on our hands this week.”

(How have you seen him evolve since that point in time, to now?) – “Like I said, he’s a complete offense. He does great things for that offense, that team. He’s been having a good career and like I said, it’s going to be a big task.”

(As a veteran on this team, what are you telling the younger guys as far as their approach to this game knowing what the stakes are, as high as they’ve been all year for you guys. What sort of advice are you giving the younger guys?) – “We just as a whole team continue to take it one week at a time. That’s really all you can do, just take it one week at a time. It’s not just the younger guys, it’s the veterans like myself too. Hone in what we have in front of us, and what we have in front of us is the Tennessee Titans. We’re just all zoned in on that.”

(Have you guys talked about the playoffs at all?) – “Nope.”

(What was it like for you – QB Ryan Tannehill is going against his old team, a place that was – he played in Miami for so long. What was it like for you going against your old team?) – “Man, I’m so focused on Tennessee, I really don’t feel like talking about that.”
