North and south, no nonsense. He was a good addition back there. He runs hard, and he helped us out. |
Not a bad day for the rookies. Not a bad day. |
Not a lot of people gave us a chance. |
Not necessarily. We really worked hard on the draft the last couple years, being a part of it, so we know a lot of the players that are on the waiver wire from our research, ... And we know a lot about our players that didn't make this team also. Not necessarily, but familiarity can help you, you bet, when it's close. |
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 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. |
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, his status is very much up in the air right now, |
Obviously, his status is very much up in the air right now. For whatever reason, after a prolonged period of running the swelling returns. He gets the fluid taken out, he gets treatment, he looks back to normal, he resumes running and the swelling returns. Obviously, this injury has been one that has not healed. |

Obviously, if [Griese] is hurt, he can't play and Chris [Simms] would be the guy who would go. But I don't want to speculate any further. We'll see how Brian feels here in the next couple of days. |
Philadelphia is in America, now, we're not going across the world. We're going to try and convey that to our team. ... We're going to play this game. We're getting on a plane. It's only a two-hour and 12-minute flight, and we're going. |
Quarles has great versatility, but we also like him as our middle linebacker. Ruud, some time in the future, will get his chance to play. Ryan has earned the job in Jeff's absence. |
Raiders East? ... We'll call them the Raiders West. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, man. |
