“I slay at video games, I slay in basketball, I slay at everything I do,” Slay quipped, treating it as a given that he slays on the football field.
The biggest victim of the Eagles cornerback’s honesty Monday at the Footprint Center was Matt Patricia, his former Lions head coach who just was replaced as Patriots offensive coordinator by Bill O’Brien after a disastrous first year calling offensive plays. The Lions traded Slay to the Eagles in March 2020 and“It was just weird how he came in like he was bigger and better than all of us,” Slay recalled of Patricia’s initial tone with the Lions. “He was acting like we asked to be there.
“That was kind of like bad sportsmanship,” Slay said. “That’s not how this game is run, man. This new generation of kids in the league, they just feel like … I don’t know. That’s not what you are supposed to say. I don’t disrespect no man, but c’mon now.” Slay’s best response would be against all-world quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who Aiyuk predicted would “expose” the Eagles.USA TODAY Sports
“Hell yeah, I was made for moments like this,” Slay said. “I was born for moments like this and I’m thankful to be able to have this moment. I’m a big Kobe [Bryant] fan and I know he loved moments like this — and I love moments like this.”
