WitP: Bess, Ulbrich, Pisa, Ingram (w/UPDATE)

Davone Bess fielded punts during Miami OTAs today, and he was the only one not to drop one.

Jeff Ulbrich had an interception during 49ers OTAs today.

Pisa Tinoisamoa will wear No. 59 for the Chicago Bears.

UPDATE: The Chicago Tribune's Vaughn McClure talked to one of Pisa's former coaches, who sung his praises:

Venturi, then the Rams linebackers coach, recalled a 2006 matchup against the Lions when Tinoisamoa was two games removed from dislocating his left elbow at San Francisco.

"He wasn't going to not play, so they fixed him up with this brace," Venturi recalled. "[Once,] the brace actually popped, so he had to come out while they fixed it.

"[Then] he went running on the field without the brace and made a tackle. That won't be anything Top 10 in history, but it showed the kind of guy he is."

Chris Draft, a former teammate, had some good things to say as well:

"Explosive and quick," Rams linebacker Chris Draft said of Tinoisamoa. "He gets his eye on you and the next thing you know, he puts it into an extra gear and he's coming to put a natural tattoo on you."

Andy Hart of Patriots Football Weekly takes a look at New England's long snapper competition.

The long snapping battle looks like it could be an interesting one to follow as the Patriots look to replace Lonie Paxton. Neither veteran Nathan Hodel nor rookie draft pick Jake Ingram has the constancy at this point that Paxton seemed to roll out of bed with. Hodel seems to be off the mark every so often, although he gets the ball back quicker than Ingram. My early nod in this race goes to Hodel.
