Bruce Smith is another guy who has always been a clown..

>>When Schottenheimer arrived, he instigated a load of rules and structure, a big change from the previous regime of coach Norv Turner. Players grumbled about everything from the grueling practices at training camp to the alarms placed on their doors to enforce curfew. Once the games started, players doubted the direction the coach was taking the team, and whether he would tolerate any challenges to his seemingly rigid system.

"There's has definitely been a breakdown of communication," defensive end Smith said. "And what we're trying to do is bridge that gap. We're trying to make sure everyone's on the same page, make sure we have a clear understanding what's expected, try and influence him to treat us like men and not like some teenagers that are delinquent or something like that.

"It was a first step. Everybody admitted we had to compromise."

Smith has become the symbol of the players' disenchantment, so much so that Chiefs head coach Dick Vermeil said that one of the Redskins problems is that "they got some old guys that like to moan, that finally have to go to work for a living" after Kansas City beat Washington 45-13 on Sunday. <<
