If Brian Daboll will be fighting to keep his job across these next seven weeks, it is not lost on Tommy DeVito that he is the one who has been entrusted to help his coach save it.
“I go out and I play for everybody — I play for my teammates, I play for the coaches, I play for the organization. … At the end of the day, I know everybody’s job’s on the line, not just mine, the coaches’, everybody’s trying to feed their family, so I go out and I play for everybody,” DeVito told The Post.
Especially the coach who believed in him more than anyone a year ago, and again now.
“So yeah, especially I play for Dabs. I know the type of coach that he is. I know the amount of time and effort and everything he puts into it, like sacrifices that he makes and all the other coaches make as well as what the players make. So I go out there and try to put everything out on the line for everybody, so yeah I play for him as well.”
