I posted an article recently in which I argued that the Redskins are poised to build a great defense if they re-sign a couple of veteran free agents and commit heavily to defense at the top of the draft.
I’ve had a bit of a personal epiphany — I’ve decided that it’s more realistic to win consistently by fielding a strong defense paired with a capable quarterback than it is to look for one golden boy (à la Aaron Rodgers) who can elevate the team to playoff contention year in and year out.
