WitP: Colt, Bess, Lelie, Veikune

LizKauai finds this NFL.com Super Ad video of Colt Brennan talking about his cousin being an inspiration to him. Here's the Super Ad FAQ.

Davone Bess may be seeing more playing time due to a season-ending injury to receiver Greg Camarillo.

He started his first game as part of a three-receiver set on Sunday and caught a career-high five passes for 87 yards. It was the most receiving yards by a Dolphins rookie since December 2001, when Chris Chambers collected seven catches for 124 yards against the Patriots.

"I'm always ready when my number is called. This is an opportunity to step up," said Bess, an undrafted rookie free agent from Hawaii. "Too bad it had to be in this type of situation, losing a key guy. Wherever coaches want me, where they need me, I'm ready to step up."

UPDATE: Bess was interviewed by the press today, and MiamiDolphins.com has the video.

Ashley Lelie talks about his developing rapport with Raiders QB Jamarcus Russell, which he says helped lead to his breakout game against the Broncos:

Lelie said he sensed it coming when he and Russell established a rapport during practice last week.

"Every time we had a play coming my way, it was always a perfect pass, it was a perfect catch," Lelie said. "We didn't have any drops, he didn't overthrow me on any play in practice. That's the first time this whole season that that's happened between us.

"So, that put a little extra confidence in his head to go to me. Every time I came out of my break (Sunday), the ball was right where it was supposed to be."

Russell, too, cited last week's practices as the impetus for him seeking out Lelie more this time around.

Raiders coach Tom Cable liked what he saw:

"Throughout the game, he made a play when we needed it," Raiders Coach Tom Cable said. "If you look at the timing of those catches — tremendous. JaMarcus did a great job of targeting the ball and giving him a chance to make those plays. That's huge, because we haven't had that."

And in possible future WitP news, David Veikune is getting more notice from scouts:

David Veikune/DE/Hawaii: He is another pass rushing prospect who was given little love by scouts before his senior campaign. Now he's the talk of the scouting community out west. He's amassed 13.5 tackles for loss, with 6.5 sacks, and leads the WAC with four forced fumbles. Veikune is a terrific athlete who flawlessly makes the transition of dropping off the line to playing in space on zone blitzes. Pass rushers always get drafted much earlier than originally projected and Veikune could slip into the draft's initial 75 selections with a good combine workout.
