Mack, Mouton, BBQ for Colt, RGM

WACSports.com has video of Greg McMackin and the other coaches addressing the media.

Here's a link to Dave Reardon's transcription again. From McMackin's comments, looks like Ryan Mouton may be figuring into the offense this season.
Mouton said he's excited about the possibility of some downs as a receiver.

"We've talked about it and Coach said he might get me out there for some screens and some other simple stuff," Mouton said in a phone interview today. "It's something I did in high school and junior college. It makes me feel good that the coach would have the confidence in me to do it at this level, too."
Here's more transcription of Coach Mack's comments, from Graham Watson's non-BCS blog on ESPN.com. UPDATE: Upon further review, I think the ESPN article is a separate Q&A with Mack.

The University of Hawai’i Alumni Association of the National Capital Region in Washington D.C. hosted a BBQ for Colt Brennan. Their site has tons of pics from the BBQ.

Dan Steinberg of the Washington Post's D.C. Sports Blog Bog has a report.
You know, pot luck meal, Redskins logos, leis, a ukulele performance, convincing the the rookie QB to get behind the microphone and rock a few Hawaiian tunes, handing him a ukulele and getting him to strum. The usual deal for NFL rookies.

"He was faking it," they admitted of the musical portion of the celebration, but still, as a proud ukulele owner, respect to Colt for the effort.

And not sure if it's just part of the formalities of trying out, but great news in any case as Ryan Grice-Mullen signed a contract with the Chicago Bears. Blog Down, a Chicago Bears blog, imagines a conversation between Coach Lovie Smith and RGM.
Ryan Grice-Mullen: Yeah, mon.

Lovie Smith: Hi Ryan. This is Lovie Smith, head coach of the Chicago Bears. I’m calling to see if you’d be interested in playing for us.

RGM: Irie, mon. Les do a dis ting alretty.

Lovie: Great. We’ll need you here today.

Lovie: Wait… Son, did you just say you’ll bring your baseball bat and glove?

RGM: Yeah, mon. Wah wrong wit dat? I be dee nex Cheepah Jonez, you see, mon.
Bob LeGere of the Daily Herald writes that RGM was suited up, but did not participate in practice today.
