It's why you do what you do as a coach.
At this level, yeah, you want to win games and all that, but the relationships that you forge, it's still about that.
There's nobody on the team I spend more time with than him.
In that moment, you're both disappointed with the result, and yet you're appreciative of each other.
It's just a disappointment that it's ending.
I'm really looking forward to him getting back to work again.
and seeing if we can get better in a number of areas and continue to elevate the people around us.
You learned a lot about what he was willing to give to you, given how much you asked him.
Yeah, well, I mean, I think, and I talked about it this morning, just to see where we were early in the preseason to where we finished off.
I think that was a good exercise for me, just to see the growth that not only he had, but we had as an entire offensive team.
Absolutely, because I think he can make a similar type of jump again this year.
I love DJ and shoot, I got a little emotional when the trade happened.
He came in, he made his rounds saying goodbye to the coaches and Ryan and his crew.
It hurts because I viewed him as one of the leaders.
And yet the business is the business and we had to...
make some decisions in terms of salary cap and things of that nature.
I think the best thing for him is he's going to a great situation.
He's got a history with Joe Brady.
I think he's very excited to play with another talented quarterback in Josh Allen.
I think we're putting him in a great spot.
