Lumsden and Patterson Cut

Punters Galore - Training Camp Insider (http://blog.washingtonpost.com/trainingcampinsider/2006/08/punters_galore.html)


"Jason just called from the practice field, where the team is working on more stuff it won't use in preseason, to say that they've signed Johnson and defensive back Vernon Fox. They've cut Jesse Lumsden and Dimitri Patterson."

Looks like someone already beat me to the comment about Johnson being drafted in 1993 but only being 25 years old.

Man, I was really pulling for Lumsden. He has been around the block quite a bit, is he even eligible to be on the practice squad?

I think as soon as Duckett signed Lumsden was as good as gone.

for the record
Eddi Johnson
Draft: 2003 - 6th round (7th pick) by the Minnesota Vikings

I think as soon as Duckett signed Lumsden was as good as gone.

I don't think he was even that close to making the team.

He was already buried behind Betts and Cartwright.

lumsden was just another example of the coaching staff overhyping a player (like todd collins, taylor jacobs, ladell "i'm so good they got duckett" betts, karon riley, zak keasey, etc etc etc).

he was big and ran fast, but they only gave him 2 carries in 4 games, so that's about as serious as they were about him.

I believe he's probably eligible for the practice squad... but he won't end up there - we already have 5 RBs (portis, betts, rock, sellers, duckett) and if that was their plan, he wouldn't have been cut until the last deadline.

yea, he wasn't that impressive to me

we also signed vernon fox, who i believe played for the lions last year... don't know much about him.

i wouldnt take jl over any of the backs we have left. have the redskins ever had a practice squad player on the active roster?
