Jon Gruden Obviously Quotations

Obviously what is being reported right now is an impasse. There are a lot of teams in similar straits that we are in, in terms of kind of waiting and hoping for the best. If no agreement is reached, I am sure there will be some very difficult decisions to be made. The players and the owners have to sort this thing out. It will take time. It is frustrating for, I think, fans and everyone.

Obviously I'm very disappointed. It's a serious matter. Very serious matter. Serious matters get dealt with very seriously by society and obviously by us. I love my brother. I haven't talked to him, but I will. All I can say from the Gruden family is I'm very apologetic.

Obviously, I'm very disappointed. This is a serious matter, it's a very serious matter and serious matters get dealt with very seriously by society and obviously by us. I love my brother. I haven't talked to him, but I will. All I can say from the Gruden family is I'm very apologetic.

Obviously we are not blocking well enough, ... We're not calling the right plays. . . . We're just not getting it done right now running the football.

We're obviously very concerned. I don't want to speculate, but it could be a few weeks or it could be the rest of the season.

We'll probably make those cuts today, ... We'll meet late into Sunday evening here and keep evaluating and obviously get an idea of who is going to be healthy enough to play against Houston.

We've had games in our pocket and then have been mugged. We've had games taken from us in key stages of the fourth quarter. It's a sick feeling. Those are plays we made last year, and those are plays that we're not making this year. Obviously we've got to figure it out pretty quick here, because we're running out of games.

We should know something in the next day or so - we're obviously very concerned.

As I said, I talked to Anthony on Saturday. We've been in constant contact with him throughout the organization and my understanding is he'll be back here Thursday morning. His status for the game obviously is doubtful. It's been a very tough ordeal for him, and we just have to support him every way we can.

The schedule doesn't get any easier, ... Our job is to do everything we can to help him. His job is obviously to make plays and move this football team and help us score and win games, and eliminate turnovers, negative plays, sacks. Those are areas that must be cleaned up in a hurry. And he'll be the quarterback this week again. Hopefully he can do that.

He's a natural catcher. He has a great background returning punts in college, so obviously he has potential.

It's an award he's obviously earned. It's a reflection of him and his family, the kind of worker he is. But it also reflects our team. He's got a lot more awards coming if he keeps doing what he's doing. I promise you that.

All I can see is from the information from our doctors and Derrick doesn't feel like he's ready to go, so we'll leave it at that, ... We obviously have missed him and hope to get him back soon. There's no discrepancy. You've got to go with what the player says. If the player says he can't go, we'll listen.

And obviously work hard at getting Keenan back in here.

We gave him the ball in week five last year so we obviously thought he showed promise and improvement,
