Former Lions defensive backs Darius Slay and Quandre Diggs had an Instagram live session on Friday night. As you might expect from the way the two standouts have handled themselves since happily becoming ex-Lions, much of the conversation was bitter and highly critical of Detroit coach Matt Patricia.
That’s not news. Their negative opinion of Patricia and his coaching style, especially in his first season in Detroit in 2018, is well-documented.
In listening to the over one-hour conversation the two close friends shared with the public, there was a surprising amount of positivity from Slay and Diggs. Some of it was doled out for Lions owner Martha Ford, who both men clearly hold in high regard. They each expressed gratitude and appreciation for the owner, only regretting that she made a poor choice in hiring Patricia.
The biggest love and praise was for Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford. Both Slay and Diggs had nothing but positive things to say about the longtime Lions QB. They showed him love for his play but also for his leadership and off-field class.
Slay backed it up on Saturday on Twitter, too:
The full conversation, which is most definitely NSFW, is available on Slay’s Instagram page.
