Gruden talked to Rogers and Bray

[King Webbsticles]

Rumor

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.

 

[GAVol]

That story definitely has a college football Dungeons n Dragons feel to it.

[Il Principo]

Yeah I don't buy that.

 

[fade route]

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.

 

[BuckheadVol1]

Should this have not gone under the previous rumor thread?

I expected better post from you. Some on here have to watch soaps during the day with some of this crap.

 

[VolForLife83]

Smells like BS to me.

 

[chattavol420]

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.

A rumor, and made up BS, are two different things.

So if they play well now, it's because of Gruden, even though we don't even know if this is true. I see where this is going.

 

[Crew]

Taking this with a cinder block of salt.

Agree. Next we will hear Al Wilson and Da'Rick got in a fist fight because Al got tired of how he represented vols.

Ok Miss Mod. If you are so sure that it is BS, delete the thread.

Just because it is unconfirmed doesn't mean it didn't happen. This is the Knoxville Media we are talking about.

 

[dlw4n]

I could get more reliable info than this by eating a bowl of alphabet soup and throwing it up on pavement to read the words. Why are some people on this site so stupid?

The knoxille media wouldn't even stoop to this level because Gruden would destroy them.

The Knoxville media reports what the school tells them to report and when to report it. The Knoxville Media isn't to be used as a measuring stick for anything.

 

[Aesius]

Yeah, this "scoop" was straight up stolen from SEC Rant on TD. Probably never happened.

I heard he told them this in his house that he owns in Knoxville.
