A reaction to the first round of cuts.

See I could have just waited until after Monday morning and told you how brilliant I was and adjusted my list, but the Redskins announced some cuts today. Here they are with my reactions:

Tyler Jones K - Never had a chance at making the squad iof Hall remained healthy.

David Lonie P - I hope this is a pre-cursor to signing another Punter to compete with Frost or else I am just watching downs 1-3 for the redskins this year.

Robert Johnson TE - Mild surprise bnut as I wrote last night, his injury was a big detriment. If the Redskins do not sign a TE watch for Ortega to be the third TE.

Jon Alston OL - Only surprise here is it came in the first round of cuts. He was on the PS last year and I thought Chris Pino would go before him.

Jim Jones OL - Drank the kool aid.

Kevin Simon LB - Could never stay on the field. The first of our 2nd day draft picks to get the boot.

Chris Mineo DT - Who?

Karon Riley DE - Played well ion pre-season but the dline is stacked.

Aric Williams DB - Who again?

Antuan Edwards S - Former teammate of Arch...times 2.

Casey Bramlet QB - Never had a chance, never got a chance.

Calen Powell TE - Got injured early and was consistently outplayed by Ortega.

so with the cuts it seems 2 PS spots have opened up[. Ortega will take Robert Johnson's spot on the active roster, and Simon is out the door. the obvious in ym mind players to benefit here are Robert McCune, who can survive another year on the PS and takes Simon's place. If they sign a TE off the waiver wire he may go here, if not Jesse Lumsden and Joe Sykes seem to be fighting for that last spot.
