WitP: Forney, Mouton, RGM, Colt, Bess, Lelie

Kynan Forney is wearing a neck brace as he recovers from injury.
Kynan Forney, who is wearing a neck brace to help limit the possibility he will aggravate his neck strain, split first-team reps at right guard with Louis Vasquez. The Chargers are still limiting Forney's work. The brace forces Forney to alter his movement a little, but Forney figures he will have to wear it for en extended period: “I don't need anything shutting me down for three or four days again.”
Ryan Mouton continues his recuperation from a sprained ankle.
Rookie cornerback Ryan Mouton (left foot) remains in a walking boot.

Not that Fisher is worried.

"We're resting. We're being smart about it. We'll practice them when they're ready to practice and play them when they're ready to play," he said.
Ed Klajman profiles Ryan Grice-Mullen.
"Ryan's got, I believe, tremendous, tremendous skills and speed," said Buono. "And in our game, if you can get him the ball in space, he is, in my mind, as dangerous as any returner who's playing right now. He's going to be one of those guys who people will stand up out of their chairs because he's that exciting. I'm just toughing him up (by making him a returner) and making him a better prepared football player and that will make him a better receiver. Every game I get excited about him because I can see the growth."
Colt Brennan talks to Warpath Confidential about the interception that changed everything.

Davone Bess talks about his competition in Miami.
The usually dependable Bess, who has only three catches for 19 yards in the first two games, didn't help himself by failing to pull in a beautiful, 20-yard rainbow from quarterback Chad Pennington on Saturday. Then again, Hartline didn't tear it up, either, although he would have needed a long shovel to catch a couple of the passes from Pennington and Pat White.

``Your job is at stake every time,'' Bess said. ``That's what this game is about. When you go out, you've got to take that mind-set that you don't want to be left behind.''
Ashley Lelie made a nice catch in practice.
WR Ashley Lelie showed his speed and got loose on a deep ball down the left sideline. One of the reasons the Chiefs brought him here was to be a deep threat and his catch today really showed off his speed.
And Lelie's coach talked briefly about his progress.
Will we see more of Ashley Lelie?

“I think that he’ll have another week under his belt of understanding the offensive system. He’ll be in a rotation like everybody else and we’ll try to maximize that as best we can. If I could say let us have 120 plays on offense in this game I would, but that’s not the way it goes.

    Tombo, thanks for keeping us mainland guys updated with all the latest news of WITP and the current team. Honestly, it's so hard to get ANY Warriors coverage out here (even in California), that I really rely on your blog to get all my news. Can't wait for my annual trip out to the islands to visit family, which of course coincides with a UH game! This time, Fresno St :) Anyway, keep up the good work!
