HOW BIG is the Milton Williams Injuray to the Patriots Defense? Reiss Weighs In...

Crafting the perfect description…

00:00Milton Williams is on IR. Alex Barth, I heard him, I believe, yesterday, and he said, no big whoop.

00:07He said, if you were going to lose anyone at any positional group, that would be the positional group to lose someone.

00:15And he's going to go, you're myth-quoting me, because that's how he talks.

00:19But I don't think I am necessarily.

00:22Is Milton Williams a huge loss here, because he will miss those Bills and Ravens games if it's a minimum of four games?

00:32Well, Alex is awesome. We know that.

00:35So I don't want to put myself in conflict with him, but I would say I think Williams has been their best defensive player.

00:41So I think it's a significant loss.

00:43My guess is what Alex meant is they're actually pretty deep there.

00:47Now Christian Barmore becomes more critical, because he probably goes to the Milton Williams role.

00:54Then you have Kyrus Tongo, who's played very well for him, steps in alongside him as a starter.

00:59And then you have three other players that have contributed and done pretty well.

01:04Corey Durden, Joshua Farmer, and now Eric Gregory, to just bump up one spot.

01:10And honestly, Fred, I would say, like every team goes through it.

01:13Denver just beat Kansas City without their best cornerback, Patrick Sertan.

01:18So the Patriots will see how they handle it.

01:20But I don't think it I don't think it is a crusher in the sense of it's going to defeat them.

01:26But they got to show that they can overcome a significant loss.
