00:00Let's go downstairs. Let's welcome Milton Williams, who joins us from the field level.
00:05Milton, how are you?
00:06Doing good, man. Hot out here.
00:08Yes, it is. How's camp been to this point? How's it been being a Patriot to this point?
00:13Man, it's good. We out here working. Coach Verbo out here pushing us, getting us in that game speed type of tempo,
00:21you know, going from drill to drill, team, break, get back to team, going faster,
00:27and, you know, just getting that game speed mindset.
00:30Bill, do you anticipate playing a lot more snaps than you usually play a year ago with Philly?
00:35Definitely. Definitely.
00:37What number? What's your expectation?
00:41I mean, as much as I can. You know, in Philly, you know, I was just going out there when they caught my number.
00:47Now I'm here. You know, I'm going to be starting the game. I'm starting drives off and give it as much as I can.
00:54And however many reps that is on any given drive, if I ain't tired, I'm going to stay in there.
00:58If I need a little blow, I'm going to come out, get my win, and go back in there.
01:02Is that exciting for you to have that opportunity?
01:04Yeah. The more you're out there, the more opportunity you've got to make plays and have an impact on the game.
01:10You know, with some of your corners being out here, especially early in camp,
01:15does it feel like it puts more pressure on your front seven to sort of pick up that slack?
01:18I mean, yeah, but there's only so much you can do when it's quick game.
01:23You know, you can try to rush, but by the time you get in your rush, the ball is coming out.
01:26So, you know, try to get in your rush quicker, get a hand up, try to disrupt the pass that way.
01:30But, you know, we just try to do what we do. Stop the run, make them throw.
01:35If it's coming out quick, you know, get a hand up and get out to the stack and get to the ball.
01:39So is this defense, when you say, you know, get to the rush quick,
01:43is this defense different for you than what you've played in?
01:46Is this more about just getting aggressive and getting after it versus kind of seeing what you're up against
01:52and what the blocking schemes are?
01:54Yeah, this is more like, and I feel like it was kind of like read and get off.
02:00This is kind of like get off.
02:02We don't care what the read is.
02:03Get off, get penetration, knock guys back, and just cause havoc.
02:07I can only imagine that that's way more fun to do it this way.
02:10Oh, definitely.
02:11I mean, it ain't a lot of thinking.
02:13You know, you're working your technique every day.
02:15You know, you come out here and try to be strong with your technique and play in, play out,
02:21and just go from there.
02:23You've been in some training camps now for a couple of years.
02:27Do you move more in this one?
02:28It feels like you guys are always on the move.
02:30There's no downtime.
02:31It really ain't.
02:32So when we get a little break, it's like, ooh, thank you.
02:35But, no, I mean, training camp was training camp.
02:38You know, in Philly we had hard days.
02:40Since I've been here, we done had some hard days.
02:43But I feel like, you know, everybody's going through the same thing right now.
02:46It's just about how you keep going, how you push yourself,
02:49and how you respond to adversity every day.
02:52We've been keeping an eye on Jared Wilson on the other side,
02:55and he's had a good camp to this point.
02:57You've had some matchups with him.
02:58What do you think of the rookie?
02:59No, he's going to be a solid player.
03:00Like I said earlier, he's got a good vetting room with Michael Wendell, a good player.
03:07No, I definitely can see he learning a lot from him.
03:11But as a young player, he's good.
03:14He's got really good balance.
03:16And, like I said, he's got some good coaches over there.
03:18So he's just doing what they ask him to do, and he's looking good.
03:21You've been around here a couple months now.
03:22What do you make of Fox Pro in the whole area?
03:24I mean, it's cool.
03:26It's cool.
03:27It's different, right?
03:27It's different.
03:28It's definitely different.
03:30It's definitely different.
03:31It's going to take some getting used to probably once I have, like,
03:35that first game in the stadium.
03:36Yeah.
03:37And, you know, hear the fans, make some plays, hear the fans.
03:39First sack.
03:40Yeah.
03:40Oh, yeah.
03:41Kill the quarterback.
03:42That would be good.
03:42Yeah.
03:43Just to hear that, that would get me more, you know, comfortable.
03:46But right now I'm just coming out here trying to get better every day
03:50and, you know, perfect the technique that they teach him.
03:53You're a championship-driven player.
03:55You just came from a program and, obviously, coming off a Super Bowl.
03:58So, you know what it's like when you've got a good team.
04:00And we were talking to Marcus Jones the other day.
04:03And you said the nice thing about this team is it already feels like it's a team.
04:06We really have something going on with the entire group.
04:09How does this compare to other great teams that you've been on?
04:12Yeah.
04:12No, I feel like what makes a great team is just being together,
04:15not just on the field but off the field, you know,
04:17having those conversations in the locker room, not even always about football,
04:22just about life, you know, just going out to dinner, getting the guys together,
04:27you know, just talking to them, getting to know them.
04:30Because I feel like the more you know somebody,
04:32the more you're going to get when it's out here, when it's hard times
04:35and you need something to help push you through, you know,
04:38you're going to fall back on that.
04:40Treat yourself after that big contract?
04:41I mean, I did a little something, but I ain't do nothing too crazy.
04:46Nice.
04:47No, I really ain't had too much time.
04:49So it's really just get back to work, get ready.
04:52Let that money grow, man.
04:53Let that money grow.
04:54Oh, yeah.
04:55Milton, we appreciate it.
04:56Thanks for hanging around for us.
04:57Yes, sir.
04:58All right.
04:58Take care.
