00:00Oh, it certainly is. Time for Grab Bag here on Jones & Keefe.

00:03Grab Bag is brought to you by Awaken 180 Weight Loss.

00:06Before we dive into some of the Grab Bag items, though, Jones, it is a Patriots Friday.

00:09And we're joined every other Patriots Friday by Milton, the Milkman Williams.

00:15He joins us here on Jones & Keefe.

00:17He's brought to you by Shaw's and Star Market.

00:19You can look for the new lower prices everyday tags throughout the store

00:22and save on the items that you buy most.

00:25Milton Williams, how you doing this week?

00:26What's going on, boss?

00:30We're doing great.

00:31Maybe not as good as you guys on Sunday night.

00:34It was a statement win.

00:35It was a nationally televised audience in Buffalo.

00:39I don't know, looking back on that, even almost a week later,

00:41how did it feel to get that victory under your belt in front of the whole country watching?

00:47No, it felt good.

00:48It felt good.

00:49We had a great week of preparation.

00:52And we went out there, and we just executed.

00:54We played the way we wanted to play.

00:56And, you know, executed for the most part in all phases.

01:00So, we're going to try to get ready to do that this week as well.

01:05You know, I heard an interview with Christian Barmore where he was discussing how great it is

01:09to be able to play next to you.

01:11You come from a great offensive line in Philadelphia.

01:14What's it been like so far this year playing alongside Christian Barmore?

01:19Man, it's been great.

01:20It's been great.

01:22I feel like I said the same thing every time you're asking the title.

01:26But, no, man, it's just having another guy right there to know that teams can't just key on you.

01:33You know, because if they do, I mean, then we got another ultra-talented guy

01:38that can go make something happen if he's one-on-one and vice versa.

01:41So, you know, we just like being in those scenarios and being able to play with each other,

01:47you know, control the line of scrimmage, control the middle, and just work off each other.

01:52And we feed off each other energy, and, you know, we're going to help each other make plays

01:56as the season goes.

01:57How much pride do you guys take in stopping the opposing team's running backs?

02:01Because one of the stats that has jumped out through the first five weeks,

02:04no individual running back has had over 50 yards in a game against you guys,

02:09which I assume you've got to take great pride in.

02:12Oh, yeah.

02:12And I didn't even know that was a thing that people tracked.

02:16But, you know, we always emphasize, you know, of course, we want to go get quarterbacks.

02:23We want to make plays.

02:24But in order to get to that, we've got to be good on first, second down, you know,

02:29stopping the run and get them in the passing situations where they have to drop back.

02:35And then we can go try to take over the game that way.

02:38But, no, it's all about stopping the run first and then, you know,

02:42taking advantage of those opportunities in the pass game when you get them.

02:45I was looking at some of your comments after the Buffalo game.

02:48We asked you in the offseason, you know, to highlight the favorite sack of your career.

02:52It was Mahomes in the Super Bowl.

02:54Now you've got Josh Allen last week.

02:58I guess independent of just the schedule, Rattler's the next quarterback on the schedule,

03:02so I imagine he'd be on your list.

03:03Is there another QB you have circled?

03:05I know you're kind of keeping track of that.

03:07Is there another QB you have circled?

03:10The crazy part is I don't really have no quarterback circled.

03:14But every quarterback I play circled, if that makes sense, you know?

03:18Sure.

03:19Like, I'm trying to get everybody that I go against.

03:22So whoever on the schedule, they on the list.

03:25And I'm definitely trying to get them.

03:26I'm not sure if you watched your former team last night in their game against the Giants.

03:32And I'm also not sure how many times there's been four straight tush-push plays, which I know not everybody loves.

03:40But did you get a chance to watch any of the Eagles last night?

03:42Yeah, I watched a little bit of it, man.

03:47I did see the tush-push when they ran it a couple times in a row.

03:51I was like, man, that's tough to stop.

03:54You know, they got big Dexter Lawrence right in the middle.

03:57I feel like they stopped it.

03:59The Giants did a good job of, you know, holding them probably twice.

04:02But, I mean, after that, it's like, it's tough sledding after that, man.

04:07There's really ain't too much you really can do.

04:09No.

04:10You said you were watching.

04:12What do you think's, looking from afar, what do you think's wrong with that offense and that team?

04:16They've dropped two in a row.

04:19You know, I really can't just say.

04:23They just look out of sync to me.

04:27Just being there and watching them, you know, watching the year like what we had last year.

04:32I just feel like they're out of sync and they're missing some guys.

04:36They're missing some guys on the line on both sides of the ball, secondary.

04:41And it's just, they're just out of sync right now.

04:45So, you know, I'm not really, I know y'all asking me questions about them.

04:49I'm not really focused on them as much as I am the Patriots.

04:53So, I did take a glance at the game, man.

04:56Those are what I took from it.

05:00One last one on the Eagles.

05:01Not trying to dwell on it, but we talk about A.J. Brown a lot on this show.

05:05Big fan of A.J. Brown.

05:07Great player.

05:07I'm curious.

05:08What was he like as a teammate?

05:11Great teammate.

05:12Great guy.

05:14He want to win.

05:15He want to win and he want to impact winning.

05:18And he want to be great.

05:20Just like all of us.

05:21But I feel like he did put up a lot of numbers and a lot of, you know, good films for players

05:29and other people to watch just to see the type of player that he has been.

05:34So, no, he was a great teammate and one of the best receivers that's ever been on my team.

05:40Before we let you go, Milton, and I know the NFL is different than baseball where you're

05:46in town for a couple of days or the NBA or NHL where you may get an off day when you're

05:50in another town.

05:51But it's New Orleans and then Nashville the next couple of weeks.

05:54Do you have a favorite stop, a favorite city to go visit in the NFL?

05:57Oh, not really.

06:04I mean, I've been in New Orleans a couple of times.

06:05So, there ain't even nothing to go down there no more.

06:07Like, I went to school in Louisiana.

06:09So, New Orleans is a cool, I mean, the food good down there.

06:13So, that's cool.

06:14But, oh, the city in particular, not really.

06:17I just be, I done went to so many places, man.

06:20I don't even like, you know what I'm saying?

06:22I'd have been everywhere pretty much in the U.S., you know, playing football.

06:27And it took me to a lot of places.

06:29So, I'll probably just have to say just going back to Texas, just being home.

06:35In my career, I've been playing with a lot of teams up north, a long way from Texas.

06:41So, whenever I go back to Texas and we play the Cowboys or the Texans or somebody in Texas

06:47just to get back down where I came from, it always feels good.

06:52You got anything queued up for the plane ride?

06:54You got any TV shows or movies you're going to watch?

06:58Um, nah, this plane ride, if it's going to be a long, I'm probably going to get a nap first.

07:04And then if I wake up, probably listen to some music, play some Candy Crush, something like that.

07:11Nice.

07:11No Angry Birds.

07:12No, okay, cool.

07:13Okay, you moved past that.

07:14That's okay.

07:15Howie, is it easy for you to fall asleep on a plane?

07:17That's not easy for everybody.

07:18Is it easy for you to fall asleep?

07:19Oh, yeah.

07:20Oh, yeah.

07:20I put my music in.

07:22I got my little R&B playlist.

07:25Oh, nice.

07:25What's on that?

07:26What's on that?

07:28Oh, man.

07:29A lot of old school Chetty Pendergrass, Osley Brothers.

07:36Just a lot of stuff I grew up with with my mom.

07:39You know, wake up on Saturday, it's time to clean up.

07:42And she got her jams going.

07:44So, just listening to that kind of relax me, take me back a little bit.

07:49Just old school R&B.

07:52Shoot.

07:52About three songs in, I'm asleep.

07:54Okay, nice.

07:55Well, hey, best of luck with the Candy Crush.

07:57Best of luck with the playlist and the nap.

07:59Get Rattler, too.

08:00Yeah, add Rattler to the list.

08:02And we'll talk to you in a couple of weeks.

08:03Thanks so much.

08:05A hundred percent.

08:05Appreciate y'all.

08:06All right.

08:07Milton, the Milkman Williams, joining us here on a Patriots Friday.

08:10Candy Crush.

08:11Candy Crush.

08:12Pretty good.

08:13Thank you, Milt.
