WitP: Bess, RGM, Colt, Kynan, Manuwai

Davone Bess had to cut a radio interview short this morning because he had to call 911.
Wide receiver Davone Bess was doing a phone interview with Jorge Sedano of 790-AM The Ticket at about 6:30 a.m. Tuesday when he witnessed a one-vehicle accident right in front of him.

“I just saw the tail end of it,” he said after the Dolphins’ morning OTA workout inside the bubble at their Davie practice facility. “The dude was swerving side to side and then — wooh, wooh, wooh — flipped over three times. It was crazy.

“It happened right where you’re merging from I-75 to I-595,” Bess added — the same intersection where former Dolphin linebacker David Griggs died in a car accident in 1995.

Bess cut the interview short, pulled over and called 911, then waited to see if the driver was OK. Other drivers who witnessed the accident also were pulling over. Listen to the interview here.
Nice. Here are some notes on Bess (and Ryan Grice-Mullen) from the football field:
-- Sparano named Bess, Grice-Mullen, Pruitt and Sheets as the possible returners.
-- Dolphins WR Davone Bess said he lined up more outside than he did at slot during today's OTA session.
-- If I had to guess, Kory Sheets and Ryan Grice-Mullen are the team's fastest KOR options. Both can move, but can they elude.
Bess spoke to the Miami media today; here's video from MiamiDolphins.com.

More notes on RGM and Bess:
The easiest way to tell Davone Bess apart from Ryan Grice-Mullen, his former Hawaii teammate, is by looking at their legs. In the last two seasons Bess has developed tree trunks for calves. RGM’s calves look like little sticks. But honestly speaking, if your eye site isn’t good enough to see their numbers (15 for Bess and 17 for RGM) or RGM’s blonde tips on his dreads, it would be impossible to tell them apart on the field. They look and move just alike.
And one more on RGM:
Found it interesting that CB Jason Allen struggled to cover Ryan Grice-Mullen in the slot. Not sure if that says something about Allen, or RGM…..
Rich Tandler of CSN Washington has this evaluation of Colt Brennan.
Colt Brennan seems to be much more comfortable in Mike and Kyle Shanahan’s new offense than he was in Jim Zorn’s. As it’s unlikely that McNabb will see more than token playing time during the preseason, Brennan should get his chance to show if that comfort translates into consistent play against other teams. Given Grossman’s familiarity with Kyle Shanahan’s offense, it’s unlikely that Brennan will move past him into the primary backup role, but he could make his case for 2011 and beyond.
Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio talks about the state of their offensive line.
“Kynan (Forney’s) had a good spring…He’s working very hard in the weight room. He’s more comfortable in our system and I think he’ll fight for some time. I think Uche (Nwaneri’s) been a little inconsistent but he has been a good player for us at both guard and center. I think Vinny (Manuwai) still has a ways to go.”
