"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."

Re: Lumsden and Patterson Cut
 

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

Re: Lumsden and Patterson Cut
 

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?

Re: Lumsden and Patterson Cut
 

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

He was already buried behind Betts and Cartwright.

Re: Lumsden and Patterson Cut
 

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

Re: Lumsden and Patterson Cut
 

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

Re: Lumsden and Patterson Cut
 

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?

Re: Lumsden and Patterson Cut

very much a part time player. that's all i got.
madden has him as a very average backup FS :P

Re: Lumsden and Patterson Cut
 

i can answer that question myself. patterson played against dallas last year and i believe he was on the practice squad

any of what backs we have left? portis?

lumsden runs a 4.4, but he didn't exactly show much outside of a couple days of training camp. when i went he didn't do anything special, but reports from other days said that he looked better then.

and yeah, i believe farris was signed off the PS last year, among others.

Re: Lumsden and Patterson Cut
 

lumsden I would say has been our best back of the preseason thus far that has played. Cartright is no good at RB, but he is a good special teams back. I think we should have kept lumsden

Re: Lumsden and Patterson Cut
 

yea nobody should know about him....4 years in the league 2 with the chargers 2 with the lions....1 career INT with 25 yard return No TD...and in four years....grand total of 65 tackles....2 pass def.....AWESOME!
