These guys just want to play football.

But a lot of coaches do that. Parcells used to do it to Simms (from what I recall). If Williams starts chewing out Anthony Montgomery then the general feeling is "ok, whatever. He's just chewing out the rookie" But if he starts laying into someone the caliber of Griff, suddenly others would (should) stand up and take notice.

Naw, I'm not talking about chewing someone out, pe se. That's cool, and maybe they need more of that Redskins Park. In fact, if they were even chewing AA out maybe he would at least know where he stood with all of this.
