Let's not forget that players are team employees, they must follow the policy established by their superiors, in this case it was his HC. I don't know about this particular case, but many NFL contracts include language that establishes limitations on players being critical of their employers to the media.
Of course I want players to be held accountable. There is a certain player in Cincinnati that comes to mind. But bad coaching should be held accountable as well.
I really don't see a reason to praise Gruden for his accountability when guys like Mason Foster, Reuben Foster and safety Montae Nicholson who was arrested last week for misdemeanor assault and public intoxication are still on the team. What makes you think things would be any different here with Gruden? If anything Burfict might be team captain under him.
And from what I can tell, not many redskins fans are happy with the move.
