Da’Rick Rogers Responds To Taunting In Practice

On Friday we chronicled how Da’Rick Rogers was reprimanded by Bills head coach Doug Marrone, when he stood over a defender for a prolonged amount of time, after making a great play.
Marrone let Rogers know that’s a 15 yard penalty in the NFL and something that won’t be tolerated.
Of course it wasn’t long before Rogers was inundated with Tweets concerning the incident.
Roger responded to a few of those tweets.
@HotNikkels wasn't taunting. Just stated at him and moved on to next play. I've never celebrated not taunted.

Rogers seems to fully understand the situation, I wouldn’t expect this to be an issue at all going forward.
The situation has had a little more attention brought to it, simply because of Rogers’ past. Marrone’s “one shot” comment about the undrafted rookie receiver probably didn’t help either.
All in all it’s a non-issue that has probably happened in most team practices across the NFL this spring.
Rogers is supremely talented and Buffalo fans should be excited to see what he can do on the field this fall.
