Buccaneers | Pittman comments on Valero criticizing Gruden

Jim Flynn, of PewterReport.com, reports Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Michael Pittman said he sees where former Buccaneers assistant coach Art Valero was coming from when he criticized head coach Jon Gruden on certain things, but Pittman said he still wants to play for Gruden. "It's a tough question to answer because I really don't want to burn bridges. I could see where Coach Valero was coming from on some things. Coach Gruden really has to answer all of the questions. I really don't know what's going on between Coach Gruden and Coach Valero because we're not really there to see what's going on behind closed doors. There have been things that have been said in the past that really happen all around the league with different teams and personnel. You've heard guys that left here that were frustrated with Coach Gruden has done in the past, but I really don't have a problem with Coach Gruden, " Pittman said.
