Decades ago, when my interest in football first moved beyond my role as an on-field participant (I ended my career as a high school center) to the broader aspects of the game, the first rule of roster-building that I learned was: An NFL team constructs its roster to win its division.
The question, then, is, what do the Redskins need to win the division title?
The NFC East features the defending super bowl champion, and while the division boasts a couple of really talented wide receivers, it’s not the passing game that’s scary when you look at the Redskins’ division opponents.
