WitP: RGM, McBriar, Pisa, Bess

The BC Lions website has photos from yesterday's "fanfest", including this one of receiver Ryan Grice-Mullen, who is still nursing a hamstring injury.

I think this is the third or fourth article about Mat McBriar being fully recovered from his broken punting foot, but Tim MacMahon of the Dallas Morning News has empirical proof!
Punter Mat McBriar, who missed most of last season after breaking his foot in the OT loss to Arizona, has returned to Pro Bowl form. McBriar was booming the ball at the beginning of the morning practice.
McBriar booted one ball about 65 yards in the air, so far that Felix Jones couldn't get to it after turning and sprinting. And it was beautifully directed, too, landing about a yard inside of the sideline. The ball took a nice bounce and would have rolled at least another 15 yards if a Cowboys staffer didn't stop it.

You can cross McBriar's right foot off the list of Cowboys injury concerns.
Brad Biggs of Inside the Bears thinks that the acquisition of Pisa Tinoisamoa is one sign that the Bears are set to make a title run.
Angelo has been making decisions that prove the Bears are going for it now. Signing left tackle Orlando Pace isn't a stop-gap measure, it's a win-now move. Adding Pisa Tinoisamoa with Nick Roach and Hunter Hillenmeyer already in place isn't a stop-gap measure or a move to add depth. It's a win-now move.
And Phin Phanatic takes a look at the Dolphins receivers, and includes this analysis of Davone Bess.
The Dolphins still have a problem with Bess and that is where to utilize him the most. Bess makes a good slot receiver but the Phins will not always run with a slot guy and will sometimes substitute a TE or a RB into the position when they switch to the WildCat formation.

Bess, in theory could push Ted Ginn for the number 1 spot moving the speed burner to the inside where the Phins could make some major mismatched formations. Bess could potentially take over the number 2 WR position thus putting Camarillo into the slot where he too could face LB coverages.

For the Dolphins, Bess is that wildcard that could dictate how the rest of the WR’s lineup. A solid training camp could push the Dolphins to utilize him on the field full time and if that happens, the shake-up of who moves, Ted Ginn or Greg Camarillo, could be a fun one to watch play out. In any case, Bess is in no danger of losing his job or his roster spot.
