So I like to look at things from a distance because it helps promote perspective and context. And one thing that's really apparent to me is that the roster looks a heck of a lot better than it did at this time last year. The Redskins have improved a lot in the last 365 days.

They've also done a lot more winning than they've done in the recent past, but for the early part of the Shanahan era, we were very talent deficient. The first two drafts haven't produced a ton of depth. Although the last two...have produced a lot of depth. And now, we're a deep-ish team. Maybe not the deepest in the NFL, but as deep as anyone in the NFC East.

That's always been the standard by which you measure yourselves, and now I think it's safe to start comparing the Redskins to other top teams in the conference. We're keeping different company these days (our roster doesn't look out of place next to Green Bay's roster or New York's roster, to give two examples), and that feels good.
