00:00Hey, Milton, thanks for coming on, man.
00:01We really appreciate it.
00:03Yes, sir.
00:04So, Milton, let me just start off by saying,
00:06when you watched the Packers film,
00:09what was the one thing that stood out the most?
00:12Like, what was the one thing that you think the defense,
00:15when you saw it, said, you know what,
00:16that's probably something that we need to clean up for next week?
00:20Just being ready to go.
00:21Just being ready to go.
00:23Coming on the field after a sudden change,
00:26just being ready to go, having our communication better,
00:30and just being ready when the ball is snapped.
00:32I feel like they caught us a couple times, you know,
00:35trying to communicate, and they're snapping the ball
00:36and, you know, getting their plays off.
00:38So, you know, we've got to be ready when the center
00:41get their hand on the ball
00:42and, you know, get everybody on the same page quicker.
00:45Hey, Big Milton, I'm curious, just based on last year's team,
00:50compared to this year's team, just what is the morale?
00:52What is the vibes?
00:54What is the chemistry like on this year's team?
00:56Is there any issues with that in your opinion?
01:00No, I think the vibes around the team are good.
01:03You know, guys, you know,
01:05spend a lot of time together, be around each other a lot.
01:07I feel like the things this year that we didn't have to deal with
01:11as much last year are just injuries.
01:13Yeah.
01:13You know, guys in and out, you know,
01:17you never know who's going to be in,
01:19who's going to be out week to week.
01:20You know, it's tough to, you know,
01:23build that chemistry and camaraderie.
01:25And when the guy next to you, you don't know who it's going to be.
01:28So, you know,
01:29this is just something we've just got to continue to work through
01:31and fight through and, you know,
01:33try to put our best foot forward, you know,
01:35each and every weekend.
01:36Put a good product out there.
01:38So, Milt,
01:39Mike Frabel just said A.J. Brown is going to make the trip to Germany
01:42with you guys.
01:42How do you like that news?
01:44And how's the vibes from A.J.?
01:47No, that's good.
01:49Whenever he's, you know,
01:51healthy enough to go out there and help us, you know,
01:54impact the game,
01:55you know,
01:56we're a better team when A.J. Brown is out there, 100%.
01:59So, that's good news.
02:02Milton, let me ask you about some comments
02:04that were made from some of your teammates.
02:06You know,
02:06Pop Douglas said after the game
02:08that the team needed better energy on the sidelines.
02:11And Matt Collins as well said something along the lines of,
02:14if people don't want to be here,
02:16there's other teams that they could go to.
02:17Frabel even seemed to insinuate
02:19something along those lines afterwards.
02:22Do you agree with them?
02:24Do you, like,
02:25is that something that you seem to think
02:28is a sentiment around the rest of the team?
02:31No, I think that's just,
02:34I think that's just getting guys in that mode
02:36to just let them know, like,
02:39this is not up to our standard.
02:41You know, guys are obviously upset, you know,
02:43you know, coming out of that game,
02:44you don't want to never have a result like that,
02:46especially at home.
02:48So, they're just, you know,
02:50looking in the mirror and saying, like,
02:52man, we got to get this thing going.
02:54We got to get it right.
02:55You know, this is not our standard.
02:58And that's not how we play.
03:00Yeah, a lot on Sunday didn't go good for us.
03:04So, I can say, you know,
03:06that's probably why the energy was off.
03:08But, you know, we can't let that,
03:10you know, affect us.
03:11You know, we got to have a short memory
03:14and, you know, move on to the next play.
03:16You know, it only took us one play
03:18to, you know, get the momentum
03:19swung back in our favor.
03:21Last year, Milton, one of the mantras for you guys
03:23was, you know, we all we got, we all we need.
03:25And I'm just curious,
03:26with the trade deadline passing yesterday,
03:29do you guys talk about trade deadline?
03:31Are you guys disappointed that the Pats
03:34didn't do anything at the trade deadline
03:37to make the team better?
03:40No, we don't have too many conversations about that.
03:44You know, we see some of the stuff
03:47with some of our guys saying, you know,
03:49you know, team might be, you know,
03:51trying to acquire them or whatever.
03:55But, no, we can't worry about this stuff, man.
03:57We got to worry about, you know, our team,
03:59what we're going to do with our team.
04:03No, I don't think they made a move
04:05just based on, you know,
04:08when we get the guys that's out back,
04:10you know, I feel like we could be
04:13in a pretty good spot.
04:14It's just tough to tell, like I said,
04:17you know, going throughout the season,
04:19you know, guys in and out, in and out.
04:23It's tough.
04:24It's definitely something tough to deal with,
04:26but it's football.
04:28So, you know, we got to figure it out
04:30and, you know, put the best,
04:32put the best guys on the field
04:33that's going to, you know, help us win.
04:36Milt, what are you looking forward to
04:37about Germany the most?
04:38Are you going to do any sightseeing over there?
04:41I'm trying to get a win, man.
04:44Business trip.
04:45I'm trying to get a win and come back home.
04:48So, Milton, I have to play this for you
04:50because we have Drake on our show
04:52every week on Mondays
04:53and somebody asked him a question
04:56that was, if you had the entire team,
05:00big brawl style, like UFC style,
05:03taking on each other,
05:04who would be the last man standing?
05:05And here's what Drake's answer was.
05:07That's a good question, too.
05:08Heavyweight, we got some guys.
05:09I think, you know, Barmore's,
05:11I think Barmore's boxing his thing,
05:13though, he's from Philly.
05:14So, I'm going to say,
05:15I'm going to go with Milton Williams.
05:16It's hard not to go Milton
05:17for the heavyweight class.
05:19All right.
05:20Do you agree with him?
05:21If the entire team turned on each other,
05:23would you be the last man standing?
05:25Of course.
05:26Yeah.
05:27Yeah, yeah.
05:28Damn right.
05:29Of course.
05:30Who'd put up the best fight?
05:32That ain't nothing against nobody else,
05:33but, you know,
05:35I'm confident in my abilities.
05:38Who would put up the best?
05:40That's a good answer, Drake.
05:42That's your guy, Drake, right there.
05:43All right.
05:44Well, Milton, you know,
05:45good luck this week out in Germany,
05:47and let's hope that, you know,
05:49you guys can bring home a W.
05:50That would be nice,
05:51and I like your attitude.
05:53Business trip.
05:54I don't care nothing about, you know,
05:56the Oktoberfest or pretzels
05:58or anything like that.
05:59Bratwurst.
06:00Bratwurst.
06:00I'm going to go out there and win.
06:01So, good luck to you, Milton.
06:03We appreciate it.
06:03Thanks, Bill.
06:04Yes, sir.
