Redskins' defense improved in most areas, but line holds the key

The Washington Redskins' offense isn’t a whole lot different than it was at this time a year ago, save for the starting backfield where Darrel Young and Alfred Morris opened last season. The defense, though, has changed quite a bit -- as should be expected by a group that ranked 25th or worse in six categories.

Young was cut by Chicago earlier this summer and remains unsigned. Morris will be a backup in Dallas behind Ezekiel Elliott, though the ex-Redskin had a solid summer by all accounts. Derek Carrier started at tight end because of injuries to others (Jordan Reed still played the majority of snaps).
