Did Clayton speak too soon?

Coach Jon Gruden was clearly miffed today when he I asked him about WR Joey Galloway's prospects for playing on Sunday and he responded with what amounted to a swipe at WR Michael Clayton.

Clayton on Wednesday said he expected to start in Galloway's place at Chicago. Turns out, that probably wasn't a wise move.

"A couple players have already spoken that (Galloway is) not going (to play), but I'll make that decision, okay?" Gruden said. "I'll decide who starts, too. As long as I have the title here as head coach, I'll do that."

Sounds to me like a not-so-veiled shot at Clayton. I would like to think that Gruden wouldn't change his mind and pull Clayton from the starting lineup to make some kind of point, but who knows?
