Jon Gruden Ready Quotations

We're pleased with the progress we're making. We're not saying we're ready for Canton (the Pro Football Hall of Fame) yet or Super Bowl XL or whatever it is. (But) there is an attitude there that is very good. It's what we want, the toughness, effort, the technique, the fundamentals are getting better. We are very physical.

Carnell just isn't ready to go. He will remain questionable until we see how he progresses.

I think he's OK. He was able to throw the ball. I'm sure he's a bit sore. He took a lot of hits (Saturday). We think he'll be ready to go for this game.

That's the way this league is: If you are not ready to go, you are not getting out of here with anything but what you deserve. We were playing a young quarterback, and we have some growing pains that we have to work through.

We're working to try to get a couple more players through free agency. The right players. And get ready for the draft, you know.

We gave him one extra day, and he'll be ready to go today, ... He's going to be ready to go today and he's going to play in the game, so he's all right.

You've got to score points to win football games and we regret what happened here, having to send one of our key players home, but looking at it in the rearview mirror, we would do the same thing again. Hopefully Simeon comes back ready to roll and he learns from this.

If he's ready to go, he'll play, ... All I can say is the doctors will let us know. Carnell's going to let us know.

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.

All I can say is I have the information from our doctors, and Derrick doesn't feel like he's ready to go,
