I was pleasantly surprised by Washington's win over Giants in what was a great game for the neutral.
It was already a bit of a season saver for the Redskins who have a brutal schedule this year. Ive already said that I think any sort of play off result will be an achievement given there are still holes in the roster and last season was a bit if an anamoly given how moderate the division was.
Scott McCloughan has already held his side of the bargain by steadily addressing needs in the defensive backs, offensive line, greater depth to the receiver corps and to a lesser extent at line backer.
However the D line remains an issue and RB may also be a position that needs an upgrade through the next draft. The Redskins should have money and picks free to address those and I think 2017 will be a big year for the Redskins as opposed to this year.
Thats not to downplay 2016: Its still key as Cousins still has a lot to prove along with Matt Jones, Garcon and Jackson will be playing for contracts, and it will be very interesting to see how the promising previous draftees go such as Smith, Murphy etc.
Yet as iterated, for once the Redskins are building long term and it looks to be 2017 and beyond ehen this wise policy will come to fruition.
