Adding column to WordPress admin for posts only, not custom post types

I've added some code to my WP site that counts how many times a post has been viewed. I then added a column in the admin to show how many views the post has received. This is for standard WP blog posts:

// SHOW POST VIEWS COLUMN IN ADMIN...
add_filter('manage_posts_columns', 'posts_column_views');
add_action('manage_posts_custom_column', 
'posts_custom_column_views',5,2);
function posts_column_views($defaults){

$defaults['post_views'] = __('Views');
return $defaults;
}
function posts_custom_column_views($column_name, $id){

if($column_name === 'post_views'){
    echo my_get_post_views(get_the_ID());
    }
}

This works fine, but the problem is that now this new column shows in all the custom post types as well. I wrote some code to unset it from the custom post types (see below) which works fine.

// BUT DON'T SHOW IT ON CUSTOM POST TYPES
function jxb_manage_columns( $columns ) {
  unset($columns['post_views']);
  return $columns;
}

function jxb_column_init() {
  add_filter( 'manage_jxb-component_posts_columns' , 'jxb_manage_columns' );
  add_filter( 'manage_faqs_posts_columns' , 'jxb_manage_columns' );
  add_filter( 'manage_edr-component_posts_columns' , 'jxb_manage_columns' );
  add_filter( 'manage_new-stories_posts_columns' , 'jxb_manage_columns' );
  add_filter( 'manage_loc_posts_columns' , 'jxb_manage_columns' );
  add_filter( 'manage_upcoming-event_posts_columns' , 'jxb_manage_columns' );
  add_filter( 'manage_product-return_posts_columns' , 'jxb_manage_columns' );
  add_filter( 'manage_splash-page_posts_columns' , 'jxb_manage_columns' );
}
add_action( 'admin_init' , 'jxb_column_init' );

Just wondering if there is a more efficient way to do this rather than to unset the column from each custom post type individually. Thanks!

By the WordPress codex documentation you can set the post type name on the filter manage_{$post_type}_posts_columns, see CODEX

So you can set the post (which is actually a post type) on {$post_type} then you will limit your filter to the post post types, so:

add_filter('manage_post_posts_columns', 'posts_column_views');
add_action('manage_post_posts_custom_column', 'posts_custom_column_views',5,2);
