00:00Oh, well, for the second time in grab bag history, we have a guest.

00:04It is Patriots offensive lineman Mike Unwenu on a Patriots Friday.

00:07He's brought to you by Shaw's and Star Market, perfecting the art of fresh.

00:11Mike Unwenu, welcome to the grab bag.

00:15What's up, what's up, what's up?

00:16Hey, we're doing well.

00:18We were just talking to your offensive coordinator, Alex Van Pelt.

00:23Some of the questions about Gerard Mayo calling out the team this week,

00:26calling them soft.

00:27Do you agree you're a soft team?

00:31Um, no, I don't think he was calling us soft in terms of,

00:35um, in terms of like just in general, like us being a soft.

00:38I think he was saying our style of play and what he's used to us

00:43putting on film.

00:44I would say the last few weeks we haven't been putting good tape out

00:47and just in terms of our physicality, speaking for myself and Olon.

00:51What was the response by the team?

00:53Is that something you guys talked about?

00:55Did you address it or is everybody just moving on?

00:58Yeah, I mean, obviously you addressed it, you know,

01:01it's just being said, um, you know, we all, we all talked about it,

01:04I guess, you know, when we first came back after the game,

01:07but, um, you know, everybody took that as a challenge, you know,

01:10took it to have a better week of practice and then have that translate to the game.

01:14Was it something that he said postgame to you guys in the locker room

01:18or did you hear about it from the postgame press conference?

01:22Like when, when all of us heard about it?

01:25Um, in terms of the words, I was, I would just say, you know,

01:29we heard about it when everyone else, but in terms of the message after the game,

01:34I mean, obviously we were disappointed.

01:35It was a game that we, that we lost and we didn't play that well.

01:39So just in general, obviously it's a loss.

01:42So there's nothing else that can come from it.

01:44Bill Belichick disagreed for what it's worth with you guys being a soft team.

01:48He said he hurt for some of the players specifically on defense, hurt for them.

01:53Uh, what'd you think of those comments?

01:56I mean, you know, Bill was here, so, I mean, obviously everyone has an opinion,

02:01but I'm sure the way Neal said it wasn't in terms to be directed

02:05or to be a negative towards us.

02:07It was more of a challenge for us to play better and play more physical.

02:11How's it been for you on the field?

02:13It's a different combination every single week on the offensive line.

02:17I mean, we'll wait until, you probably already know,

02:19but it feels like it's going to be an eighth different starting lineup

02:22for you guys up front.

02:24What have the challenges been with just different, you know,

02:27rotations each and every week?

02:30Um, I would just say your general, your general stuff with guys,

02:34more really just communication and really just playing next to the person

02:39or whoever the new person is just playing them and stepping in and playing.

02:44But at the end of the day, it's football and speaking for Olin,

02:47I mean, we all run the same place.

02:48We're running the same place.

02:49So we all know the assignments of each offensive lineman.

02:54Michael, my new Patriots offensive lineman joining us here,

02:56Jones and Keefe, Patriots Friday.

02:58It's the grab bag.

02:59You referenced the team meeting earlier.

03:01You said you guys addressed some of those comments in the team meeting.

03:04Who spoke and what was the message of that team meeting?

03:11Mayo spoke, you know, he obviously touched on the comments

03:14and said what he meant by it.

03:17So what I said before in terms of him not calling us directly soft

03:21in terms of him challenging us to have a better game

03:24and to play more physical is exactly the message that he spoke

03:27and how we took them, how we approached this week.

03:30The timing of the meeting was interesting.

03:32Mayo has referenced now some comments from Kendrick Bourne

03:36that players need to kind of focus on recovery and focus on the right things

03:41and not staying out late, things of this nature.

03:44Were any players disciplined or did any players get in trouble in London?

03:52No, nobody got in trouble in London.

03:54So when Kendrick Bourne is talking about players staying out late

03:58and, you know, sticking to their routine and being professional,

04:00what do you think he's referencing?

04:04You know, obviously, I'm sure whoever he's talking about,

04:07that's who he's talking about.

04:08It's not to my awareness, but, you know,

04:12obviously, we're in a different setting.

04:14And over the last couple of weeks with the international games,

04:18there has been players getting in trouble or stuff.

04:21So I think that was a big message.

04:23So I don't think anyone got in too much trouble.

04:27Too much.

04:28Last time you guys faced the Jets, allowed seven sacks as a team.

04:32What kind of challenges do these guys present?

04:34Plus, it looks like they're going to get Hasan Redik,

04:36who wasn't there for the first matchup.

04:39Yeah, I mean, it's from the first game, the same challenges.

04:43Have a lot of good players on our roster.

04:44So obviously, it's just a matchup and playing and showing up for the game.

04:48All right, three Halloween-related questions for you here,

04:51Mike, before we let you go.

04:53One, do you have a favorite Halloween candy?

04:59I would probably say somewhere in between gummy bears and like a Twix.

05:04Gummy bears and a Twix?

05:05Wow.

05:05Nice.

05:06What's in between?

05:06Oh, the top.

05:07I see.

05:08I see.

05:08You know, your Alex Van Pelt said candy corn.

05:11Any thoughts on that?

05:13Candy corn?

05:13I don't know.

05:14I'm going to have to talk to him about that.

05:16I think so.

05:17Yeah.

05:18Do you have a favorite Halloween costume growing up?

05:21Or maybe even as an adult at a party.

05:23But any costume that you really liked?

05:28I don't have a favorite.

05:29I would say the one that stuck out to me was, I remember being like

05:32elementary, and I was a saw, or not saw, I was screened for Halloween and I had

05:38the mask, I had the bullet.

05:39That's like Keith's favorite movie.

05:40That really, now you're speaking my language.

05:42I actually got to piggyback into my last one for you.

05:45Do you have a favorite horror movie of all time?

05:50To be honest, I really don't.

05:52Okay.

05:52I've just been watching more horror movies and thriller movies of recent,

05:56really this whole month.

05:58So I don't have a favorite, but I do have a favorite.

06:01I don't have a favorite, but I can get back to you on that one.

06:03All right.

06:04Well, Mike, let me tell you, just for the month of October, right around

06:08this time, every day on this program, Keith gives out for free a horror

06:12movie recommendation.

06:13So if you're looking for them, it's a good spot to tune in.

06:15We do it every day.

06:15A lot of good ones out there.

06:18Today's going to be Shutter Island.

06:19Shutter Island.

06:20It's kind of more of a mind-messing movie.

06:23Leonardo DiCaprio, 2010.

06:24But I recommend Shutter Island.

06:27Okay.

06:28I'm going to have to watch that.

06:29I think the last movie I watched, I can't remember the movie's name, but

06:33it was a movie, a family that went on a vacation.

06:38They were trapped on an island.

06:41I can't remember.

06:41I thought it was Vegas, Vegas.

06:44They went to an island on vacation.

06:46Yep.

06:47Yeah, they were trapped on an island.

06:48They went to a resort and then they, it was a beach on the island that

06:52they went to, and then they were basically stuck on the beach.

06:55They couldn't leave because it was like a magnetic force surrounding

07:00the beach.

07:00So they basically like, they got older faster.

07:04So they basically were aging.

07:06Yeah, that's the M. Night Shyamalan movie, right?

07:08I think it's just called Old.

07:09Yeah.

07:11It's something.

07:14Yeah.

07:15Okay.

07:16Very good.

07:16All right.

07:16We'll have to check that.

07:17You check, you check out Shutter Island.

07:18We'll check out the vacation movie.

07:21Yeah.

07:22I will for sure.

07:23I'm going to get that to you, the name.

07:24All right.

07:25That sounds good.

07:25Mike and Wynton, we appreciate it.

07:26We'll talk to you soon.

07:27Good luck.

07:30Okay.

07:31I think it's called Old.

07:31I've actually never seen it.

07:32M. Night Shyamalan movie.

07:33Nick, have you seen this one?

07:35I have not, but we both said Old at the exact same time.

07:37So I think it's called Old.

07:38Twitch chat also confirms Old.

07:40Yeah.

07:40I'm like, you're thinking of the TV show Lost.

07:42No.

07:42You're thinking of From.
