Redskins cut Cornerback David Amerson - Washington Post

A day after electing not to use him on any defensive plays despite the fragile state of their secondary, the Washington Redskins cut former second-round pick David Amerson on Monday.

Washington Redskins fans weren't alone in dreading a fourth-quarter collapse Sunday at FedEx Field after St. Louis slashed a 17-point deficit to seven in a three-minute scoring burst.

After bolting to a 17-0 first half lead, the offense was forced to punt on three of its next four possessions and fumbled away the other.

Redskins:  No one expected their offensive line to holdup against the stout front 7 of St. Louis. But credit the Redskins with a very effective game plan that was well executed.
