Recently, a lot of players have been voicing their displeasure with the team in public. Jay and his staff (as any coaching staff should), have some issues with players NOT keeping their issues in-house.
What is said behind closed doors is all fine and dandy - as long as it stays behind those closed doors, and is being dealt with man-to-man.

Are Redskins players trying to tell us something? Maybe, just maybe, this is worse (if humanly possible) behind closed doors?
