A Clarification on whether the Redskins are Re-Building

[Lotus]

Please define "rebuilding," because we can't really talk about the thread question without talking about the same thing.

If we go with a definition of "significant roster overhaul primarily during the offseason in an attempt to get younger," then spring 2011 we were rebuilding the defense and to a lesser extent the offense. In spring 2012 we seem to be rebuilding the offense by this definition.

Since rebuilding, in this definition, is primarily an offseason affair, we see that by August 2012 we will have substantially rebuilt both sides of the ball. Therefore an expectation of being competitive in the 2012 season and competitive to a greater extent beyond 2012 is fair.

My take on things.
