 Maybe get you a spot where you might want to go? Yeah, initially saw the trade with Allen Robertson, or the signing of Allen Robertson, coming to the Rams. And about 20 minutes after, got the call from Sean McVeigh. Been in the league a while, I kind of know how it goes, seeing the contract and the time. And got the call from McVeigh, told me that I was getting traded. And first thing my thought is, all right, we got it, where am I going? Where are the teams? Where are the options? Told me, let me have a say and an impact in my trade. And really just got on the phone, started to talk with my agent. Did my research on teams, got to move fast, quarterback, staff, being able to talk with past players who've been here, who've played here, and really just give my intake and my feel in being able to make my decision well for that. What was the guys that you talked to, and what was it about this place that made you want to come here? Josh Reynolds was one of them. Antoine Woods, one of them. And really just having a relationship already with Todd Downing and Rob Moore being with them and Buffalo, Derek Henry, obviously, Tannehill, AJ Brown, obviously a top performing team, coach of the year, being able to join this team and this organization, I think, was beneficial for my career, knowing how the league works and how you want to win games. You want to be able to be a balanced team. And I think this organization, this team, being able to feed off of the ground game, having the quarterback who delivered the ball, have another threat on the opposite side, and obviously being able to bring my game and compliments to this team, I think, was the best fit for my game. No, you're good. You're such a team guy. Talk about the teammates that you're leaving and what they said about you. How much did culture play into your decision making and just the culture that they have here with the Titans? Yeah, big. You want to be an organization who's obviously trying to solidify solid, not much movement around. This team has been in playoffs, been consistent for many years. So I wanted to join something that was firm and solid and be able to add my game to it. And obviously, you want to be a part of a winning culture. You want to be a part with guys who try hard and bust their butt for their teammates. Talk to Roger Saffold as well, and really just was just trying to get my intake on the locker room and guys. And they told me this was the right organization, even getting to feel unbiased and as slim as up front. What's the state of your game in terms of the timetable for your return? And with suffering that injury last year, how much does it kind of drive you to get back? Because even though you got a Super Bowl ring, you didn't get to play in the playoffs in the Super Bowl. Yeah, I mean, there's already a lot of motivation, despite the me, just being here, being traded, winning the Super Bowl, not being able to play. And then joining the organization that's right there, could have been there last year. My goal is to win it back to back. And really just for my knee, my knee was had a clean tear, fortunately. Nothing else involved with it. And really just trying to get back as fast as I can, and healthy, obviously. But no timetable, just right on track, being strong, getting my strength. And when the team is ready for me to be out there, I'll be ready to go. First significant injury of your career, what was it like when you knew you were going to be out an extended period of time there? Yeah, it shocked me. Obviously, I was running with the ball. I tried to make a cut, fell down, went to the other field, ran, cut, jogged, and thought I was fine. And then when I got the news that it was a Torre ACL, it was shocking, didn't know that it was that. And obviously, as a receiver, you get that injury, you're like, oh, no, oh, no, it's coming to an end. And then literally just being able to recover and feel good knowing that it wasn't that serious is thrilling for me just to be able to come back. I feel like I'm in the middle of my career. So really, just my thing is just getting back as strong as I can, pick back up where I left off, and add some more strength and power to this knee. Robert, you're known as, over the course of your career, you're known as one of the better run-blocking receivers in the game. Maybe weird is kind of that pride in that element of the game come from. And why is that kind of a big part of what you do? Yeah, we always talk about playing without the ball. Being able to learn that in the league and being involved, it's kind of like, I don't know, when you see a basketball player, it's kind of like the guy without the ball, it's like you still have to be involved, move around, you can't just be standing there. It's kind of like the same thing in football. You can't be watching the play. And I feel like just being involved in the game, staying in tune, being able to get your running back free on the big runs, and really just being physical, setting the tone. When you come out there and be physical, you've got guys who turn it down on the opposite side of the ball and don't want to be a part of that. And when you set the tone and you set the force, you're the one in control and you're in control of the game. How much do you feel like you're a good fit for this team with the how they play and kind of your mentality to begin with? Great, I mean, you obviously want to be a physical team. They are that. You have a physical running back. You have a physical receiver, two of them now. And being able to just set the tone throughout the game, it's a long season. Being able to be in many seasons, I know you got to be durable. You got to be physical. You got to impose your will on teams. And with Coach Vraves and how they play, it's definitely the mindset that I have. And we can do that 60 minutes, all four quarters, every single game. Coach Vraves will add some high praise for you before the Titans played to Rams this year. I wonder if you ever got a chance to notice that and if that kind of stuck in the back of your mind at all when you were looking around? I did not. I did not know that. Obviously, I just go into the game worried about my assignment and what we're trying to do. And really, I always, whenever I'm on the field, I try to be the best receiver on the field, on both teams. Being able to showcase that in that Tennessee game, make some plays, probably left the lasting impression on coaching, probably why I'm here. Some of the things that Coach McVeigh did, jet sweeps, lining you up in the backfield and all those types, how did that develop? Like, was that something that, when they acquired you, they wanted to start doing? And how much would you like to do that here with the Titans? Yeah, literally, from the start of leaving the Bills, McVeigh was like, I got what I wanted. I'm about to get the ball in your hands. I seen what you were capable of doing in Buffalo and now we're going to get the ball to you. And really, it was just one of those, being able to have an impact in the passing game and not just a running game, being able to be a downfield threat, be an intermediate threat. And one of those situations came where it was, he wanted the ball in my hands, being able to be involved in a screen game and then it was being able to take those to distance and just wanted to have me with the ball in my hand. So the jet sweeps came about and really it was just, here Robert, do what you do. The guys are clear lanes and create lanes for you. And that's really what I'm trying to do in this offense. Get the ball in my hands, slash, slash running, make guys miss, be physical, and be able to impact with a run game with the ball in my hands, screen game, downfield threat, and key third down receiver. Right once since the season ended about needing to be great around Ryan Tannehill. In your experience, what does it take for a receiving core for an offense to be great around the quarterback and how can you contribute to that here? Yeah, a consistent receiver, being able to get open in a timely fashion with the routes, with the protection, got to be reliable every single down. You can't make up stuff in between routes. And like I said, being reliable in the catching ball as well, you got to be able to be consistent on first down, second down, third down, quarterback with Tannehill and with this offense, we're gonna feed off of the run, be involved in the play action game. And that's what I do, I get open. I think that's what I'm gonna do in this offense, be able to create separation, make it an easy throw for him, and when he does throw it, make those contested catches. 50-50 balls is me or nobody, be me, you know? In terms of your reputation in Los Angeles as a leader and as a guy who is a good locker room fit and part of a good culture, what teammates and coaches have said, how do you transplant that here to this culture and inside this locker room? I'm just coming here. I'm not trying to be anything that I wasn't before. I'm coming here being myself and Robert Woods, be a great teammate, great receiver, I'm a hard worker, not just on the field. On Sundays, I take pride in my work at practice, every single rep in the weight room, every single prep as well. Showing up to the meeting rooms, holding guys accountable, making sure that they know their assignment. Because, I mean, it takes all 11. I've learned that it can be 10 guys out there on the same page, it takes all 11. You have to know how your teammates think mentally and be able to trust them. I think that's the biggest thing, and I'm just coming here and trying to bring my energy, set the tone, how I practice and hopefully the guys can feed off of that. I embrace the young guys, the older guys, special team players, quarterback, backups. You gotta be able to communicate with everybody. It takes a family, we're all a part of building this championship team. And really just coming in here and hardworking, I think my work is talks for itself, guys, see that. And I don't let guys, I mean, take reps off, you gotta finish with the ball. And that's what we're gonna preach. How do you feel like you compliment AJ Brown in particular and how much have you seen him? Yeah, I've seen him a lot really since he got in the league, since the whole combine stuff, being a dynamic receiver, being able to make it to the Pro Bowl, strong, I would say, being able to make guys miss. Guys definitely don't wanna tackle him. Finishes through the end zone, strong runner. Attack the ball, aggressive hands. So I think my game with his being able to hit on both sides, I think it'd be really dynamic, his game compliments mine. I think once we get the ball in our hands, I think we're really gonna be dangerous, just because how we run and attack the defenders, eat up the ground. I think we're gonna be really, really good together. When you did your research, did you say to the Rams, I like these three or four teams, or did you say, hey, get me to Tennessee if at all possible? I had a few teams I liked, obviously. Don't wanna just put all the eggs in one basket, gotta see how it's gonna play out, how the coaches are gonna use you. Obviously you could like an organization, but if they're not gonna want you, if they're not gonna use you, how you wanna be used, it really has to be a great match and a great fit. And obviously I had the coaching culture that I was already familiar with. Guys who've been here told me about the atmosphere in Asheville, wanted to be a part of that. And be where you want it. You got an organization who wants you and you fit well, your game matches up well with their offense or not. It's clear your quarterbacks in the past have trusted you. When you look at golf, 100 targets consistently, Stafford, half of his throws to your third down. How do you go about developing that same type of chemistry with Ryan Tannello? Especially being as though you may not be on the field as much leading up to campus, et cetera. Yeah, that's one of those things. Like I said, it's building relationships mentally. I think we're gonna connect well in meetings. I'm gonna be picking his brain, asking him about concepts, what does he want from a quarterback perspective, how I see it from a receiver perspective, and really trying to get on the same page. Obviously I won't be playing OTAs and stuff like that, but picking his brain, standing next to him, having a script, knowing how he thinks. So once I'm out there, being able to just, now I'm physically doing it, and he already knows mentally how I'm thinking. And then on top of that, just creating separation, being an open target every single down. I take pride in if it's a clear out route, I'm gonna be open. It's a back side route, I'm gonna be open, front side, primary. My job as a receiver is to be open and catch the ball and I'll do that. What have been the things that have stood out to you about Ten Hill's game from watching him from a four? Yeah, starting in Buffalo, I've seen him in Miami, I've seen what he's done, passing the ball. Always known that he is capable of making the throws, being able to be a 4,000-yard passer, being able to spread the ball around to many different receivers. Checked him out early, what he was doing with AJ, and I wanna say a year with Corey. When he was here. And really just him being able to feed off of the play action in the ground game and being able to do that same thing here. Being an open target, let him work off the ground game and then being able to deliver the ball whether it's downfield, feeding off the play action. I know he's an athletic quarterback and makes some plays on the run. And I'm gonna do my job, let him do his. Keep the win out there against the Rams and this was a defensive football team in a lot of ways last year. Would you like to join another team that has so much quality on the defensive side of the ball, particularly the front four? Yeah, balance, you see those guys getting after the quarterback, got after Tannehill, being able to, if I remember correctly, force two key interceptions down there in our rezone. Being able to get after it, I know Byrd had a great read on the out route, being able to jump it and finish in the end zone. It's not just making these plays but like capitalizing, it's a batter ball, getting the interception of it's a late pass, being able to jump the route, things like that. I think this defense is playing well, capitalizing on finishing plays. Obviously the offense has been there, having the leading rusher, great line up front. And like I said, they should have been a lot further in the playoffs last year. And really just out of my game and let's get over that hump and let's go and win this thing. A ton of 30 and over wide receivers making big impacts in the NFL these days, what makes you confident that you can kind of be an exception to that rule, especially coming off the injury as well. Being young, I would say, I know you said it's not many 30 year old receivers or doing it, but I would say, I was able to have a different game and Buffalo being able to be involved in the run game. So really just being able to kick this passing game off from once I got to LA, I feel youthful, physically, feel healthy, not having any many injuries in the NFL. How I train, I train hard, I come in ready, come in shape, take pride in my work. I don't just rely on physical attributes, you know, I work my feet, I work my hands, I work on separation, shifting this. I feel like everything, whether it's my mindset, my skill set, my hard work, I think all that play is a key factor in feeling young, being young. Like I said, this is, I'm at my midpoint in my career. Really just trying to keep this thing going. I feel like I'm just gonna start it, feel like it's my pride, my best shape in my life. Really just keep this thing winning. How can you go on that, what's your healthy, how important to be out there every day, practicing, getting to know Ryan, getting to sing the toll often? Yeah, it's all about practice, it's all about timing. You gotta be out there on the practice field, you gotta be out there getting reps, mental reps, physical reps, throughout practice. If you're not only out there running routes, when the defense is on the field, you're right next to your quarterback, taking the mental reps, telling them this is how I would do, did you see that play, I woulda did this, I woulda did that. If we're not in, if the tools are going, whatever it is, we are always taking reps. And I think creating that relationship with Tana here, I know it's very important, building that bond, being an open target. He has to be able to trust me and I have to be able to trust him and give that trust to him. And that's with catching the ball, attacking if he's throwing it. The defender's right there, I have to go out there and make the catcher, make sure that the defender is not getting that ball. And that gives him trust to keep throwing the ball to me. Obviously, if you're making plays, he's gonna keep slinging it. And start day when we already been talking and met with him before at a Christian, NFL Christian conference before, met him and his wife. So really just to build off that relationship and keep it going. You said that there's no timetable, but you looked pretty sprightly walking in here. Appreciate it. Do you fully expect to be on the field week one? I'm told not to talk timetables. Obviously, my goal is to be out there. My goal is to work hard and do everything possible to be physically ready. I personally have goals to be out there and be strong and be out there. I'm trying to, I missed the end of the season last year. So I'm doing everything capable with the training staff and the coaching staff to be out there. And so I'll ask you, remember who's the first person to call you Bobby Trees and how did that nickname stick? Yeah, it started out in Buffalo. I don't know who was the first one seen it on Twitter a couple of times when I was in Buffalo early on. And then really once I got to LA, it blew up. The fans loved it, ran with it, the Rams ran with it. And really just that alter ego, Cooper Cup and my receiver coach there, YARPS, used to call me Bobby Trees in the most complete because you get out there on the field. As soon as that national anthem is finished, Bobby Trees come out with turns to a whole different person. The smile comes off and really just become that aggressor setting the tone, being physical, being stout, making guys want to, intimidated to tackle me and just to come up and press all these things. It's just a tone set or it's a mindset. We've told you not to talk timetable. Is that what we think it is? I am told not to say that as well. Appreciate it. Thank you guys. Thanks Robert. Thanks Robert.
