Plenty happened on Tuesday, but the biggest takeaway came on the offensive side of the ball. Day 4 marked the best practice of camp, with high intensity and the defense carrying the day. On Day 5, the offense pushed back.

Kirk Cousins and the first unit moved the ball well in team drills, especially on the ground. The second and third teams moved the ball well, too. Notes below:

With Rob Kelley sitting out his second straight day of practice, Samaje Perine took the reps with the first team. As a rookie, Perine is still learning, but in flashes he looks like a player that can contribute this season. He had a strong carry on the goal line that resulted in a TD, but his work in pass protection will need attention.

With Jamison Crowder out for the third straight day, Ryan Grant again got increased work. And he made the most of it. Grant catches what seems like every ball that comes his way, and if camp is any indication, will be a true part of this offense in 2017.

If you read these digital pages, you know I've long thought Everett deserved a chance at more reps with the first team defense, especially last year as the team kept trotting out a way past-his-prime Donte Whitner. Well, with Su'a Cravens sitting out to deal with a hamstring issue, Everett got the chance with the top D. He delivered. Quick to the ball and a big hitter, Everett probably had the best play of the day for the defense as he jumped a Kirk Cousins throw intended for Vernon Davis and made an athletic interception near the goal line. Everett has talent.

The matchups between Junior Galette and Trent Williams garner the most attention, but on the other side of the ball, Ryan Kerrigan and Morgan Moses are putting in real strong work. When coaches talk about competition and getting better, that's exactly what 91 and 76 are doing.

Funny line from Jay Gruden during 1v1 line work. Matt Ioannidis jumped offsides (lots of players do, Bill Callahan has a mean hard count) and Gruden shouted, "Come on. You're killing coach Callahan's drill!" For the record, Gruden was joking.

plays through the whistle. Hard. For a man with his size, Terrell McClain has decent speed. I spoke with one member of the front office about the improved depth on the defensive line. My comment - "That D-line looks overhauled, and better." The reply, "That's because we overhauled it." Washington knew it had a problem up front, and seems to have much better depth. Jon Allen and the development of Ioannidis help.

Lot of stunting on the D-line as well. Remember how the Cowboys torched the Redskins in Week 2 with all the stunts? Maybe the 'Skins will return the favor.

Special teams practice only on Wednesday. Notes might be slim. Stay tuned.
