Warriors in the Pros: Colt, Bess, LP

Andrew Astleford of the Washington Post profiles Colt Brennan. Here's an excerpt:

His attitude has given teammates pause. Brennan quickly has gained a reputation as an antithesis to the stiff, all-business field-general prototype. He wears tights on the practice field. He cracks jokes with veterans. He plays the ukulele.

"He's probably one of the most interesting rookie quarterbacks I've ever been around," Campbell said.

"He just walks around and talks about everything. . . . He has these different styles that he dresses when he comes to practice. He has tights on. He has wristbands. I'm like, 'Colt, what's all this stuff you have on?' "

Said wide receiver Horace Gant: "He's cool, calm and collected. I think the Hawaii lifestyle rubbed off on him. . . . He puts me in the mind of a Brett Favre-type guy. It's not the conventional, drop-back quarterback style. He gets the job done."

Right on. The article is accompanied by a Redskins photo gallery, which includes some pics of Colt.

Miami Dolphins coach Tony Sparano addressed the advantages of maybe perhaps bringing in a veteran receiver, and mentions Davone Bess.

If you're a young player like a (Davone) Bess, you're watching this guy make his release and say, 'Hey, I can learn from some of that stuff'.

Soooo, is this a good sign that Bess will be on the team regardless? Can't learn if you're cut, right? Hey, I'm just looking for the positives. Speaking of which, Bess did more impressing today.

I might take a lot of crap for saying this, but Anthony Armstrong was the receiver who stood out most to me Wednesday afternoon. He got separation, and had a few shake moves during 7-on-7 and team drills. Derek Hagan, who put together his third straight decent day of practice, was a close second, with Davone Bess being the third.

Bess has a way of dropping right into the soft spot in a zone. It's either a gift, or Hawaii's pass happy offense paying off. Right now I have him penciled in on my 53-man roster, but he did drop a pass or two during Tuesday's practice, which shows he needs to work on his consistency.

Bess also returned kicks and had a great catch.

Beautiful slant pass to Bess, about 20 yards down field. Bess breaks the coverage, and in a game would’ve had a 50 yard touchdown.

And finally Leonard Peters got a little banged up in Chicago Bears camp, but sounds like he's okay.

8:06 p.m.: Lloyd is back, and Orton tried to hit him on a deep ball but overthrew him. After the play, reserve safety Leonard Peters left the field with tape wrapped on his chin.

8:22 p.m.: Peters is back after leaving the field with a chin injury.
