First news of cuts - ESPN
I was kicking around the internet, checking the college scores (it sucks to be in Europe at this time of year, knowing there is football I can't watch), and came across this on an ESPN blog.
http://myespn.go.com/blogs/nflnation
It mentions that Brooks gets the better of Frost in the punter battle. I don't think that is a surprise around here. Everyone (here at least) has been saying that this is a done deal since the draft. Why draft Brooks otherwise?? As I have seen written elsewhere, a good pre-season this year doesn't erase 3 mediocre seasons.
Other surprising news. Marcus Mason is also cut, according to the blog. I really thought we might keep him, and hope we can put him on the practice squad tomorrow. I am afraid he will get a look elsewhere based on the stellar preseason. (Then again, Rudi Johnson is apparently also available, maybe there will be more RB free agents so we can keep Mason. I hope so). I personally (with the things I have read and seen) though he did enough. Competition must be steep.
I am curious where we kept more players. Safety?? CB??
Do we still have JT Tryon, my adopted Redskin?? I hope so, despite the poor opinion of him over at Extremeskins and an apparently horrible performance against JAX.
Ok, your thoughts. Just thought I would throw this out there.
Cuts should be flying now.

Thanks for the update
I am quite surprised we only have 5 WRs. Neither McCullen nor Mix make it. How do we run this offense with no subs at WR?? I guess we throw a lot to Cooley and Davis.
We will see.

Two TE sets
Two or three TE sets, I’m thinking we will not see as many 3 WR sets in the regular season as the preseason…

Slot
Can we line Cooley or Davis up in the slot??
It would basically be a three WR set, with someone an LB or safety will not want to take down as easily.

Davis can be a good slot, as well as Cooley
Yoder and Cooley as TE with Davis in the slot
That will be an interesting lineup
Want a big reciever for the RedZone, Davis fits the bill.
5 days a lot of questions will get answered

"0"
Mason is good and I thought he would make the 53, but what team is going take him over the seasoned backs which are available. It’s a numbers game and I believe he will end up on the practice squad again…Mason’s biggest issue is his lack of performance on special teams.
And he wasn’t a vinne C draft pick..ha..ha
