Gruden talked to Rogers and Bray (rumor)

Rumor
Quote:
Gruden pulled Rogers aside and, in no uncertain terms, told him that his mouth and attitude has probably cost him in the neighborhood of $8M in draft status already. He also told him that if he keeps it up, he'll be paying teams to draft him when it comes time to declare.

Gruden also took Bray to the side and let him know that if he doesn't get it together mentally, it doesn't matter what he does on the field, because NFL teams aren't interested in putting their franchise in the hands of an immature (screwup).

Both responded in spring practice and things have improved, at least in the short term.

I'm not to confident that this actually happened but it would be spot on analysis on Grudens part.

You got that on Tigerdroppings and the op said its what his friend read on volquest and told him. There wasn't anything remotely close to that on Bray on Volquest, and Brent never would confirm the interaction between Rogers and Gruden.

So why couldn't Dools say those things and have the same effect? Speaks volumes.

I'm sure he's never said anything even remotely close to that. But I am certain Gruden gave a damn and told them that. Yup.

Should this have not gone under the previous rumor thread?

Highly doubtful that he was so critical of either player. And although d Rogers is a little diva-ish he's never really been any trouble. Hell dez Bryant was suspended his whole senior year and was still a first rounder. I don't think his attitude will affect his draft status as Long as he puts up great numbers at the combine

It's a rumor involving two of our most talented players. It's also the offseason.

This is not even remotely close to being a rumor.
