Even that seems like a stretch, he starts with "we've had a lot of open communication with our team, our players, and our coaches" (I doubt a generated group text classifies as "a lot") and right after he said he went back and forth with every player "this weekend" he says "that was something that was important to me" and "I'll continue to share with our guys the platform that they have" and "I told these guys just how grateful I am" and "That's something we definitely have talked about in a big-picture team approach, but also, more specifically, the individual and group conversations"
A lot of past tense speak in those quotes.
