"At that time, I didn't care really," Slay said. "Shoot, I didn't have that much for respect for Matty P, as a person. It was hard for me to play for him. That's all that was."
Also
Slay said the relationship between the two was fractured during Patricia's first year as Detroit's coach, in 2018, and despite things being better last season, the bond between the two never was mended.
Oh and
He told me I had no business working out with Richard Sherman and (Aqib) Talib because I wasn't elite," Slay said. "Those were the guys that were elite category and I was just good.
"That's the whole point, I didn't get the thought, sitting here telling me not to go work with somebody, I'm not elite," Slay continued. "If I ain't elite in your eyes, at least I'm trying to go compete with guys and work with guys, pick their brains and become elite."
Yo is slay joking?? This dude cries n cries holy crap
He's definitely not afraid to speak his mind, but im just sick of all this drama that follows this damn team.
Constantly alienating our best players; barry, calvin, and now slay, and to what end?
Patricias comments to Slay were uncalled for, im sick of him at this point tbh.
Slay is close to elite, or at least very good, and he certainly has every right to be working out with whoever the fuck he wants to...
Now what i suspect is this was Patricias dumbass way of trying to light a fire under his ass, trying to motivate him to step it up. And Slay took it too literally.
But thats no excuse, this isnt 1980, the complete hard ass approach to coaching doesnt work anymore, and its evident by Patricias comments to him and many others multiple times now since he's been here that that is his style.
