WitP: Colt doing well, Pisa competing, Hisatake profiled, Mauia released

Colt Brennan has been doing well at the start of Redskins training camp.

4:51 Terrence Austin does something that a rookie seventh-round draft pick can't do. He drops a Colt Brennan pass that was right in his hands. Austin missed most of the preseason work due to his school schedule at UCLA, and he can't afford to generate much ill will if he wants to stick around.

5:09 Colt Brennan slips a good pass to Dennis Morris down the seam. So far, in the extremely early going in the competition for the third-team quarterback spot, advantage Brennan.

However, Colt's competition has been impressive as well.

Richard Bartel – Bartel showed off a pretty impressive arm and good accuracy. Colt Brennan said after that even though he and Bartel are roommates, and despite the fact that Brennan likes Bartel, Bartel is annoying him by how well he is playing.

Colt Brennan – Brennan did not hurt himself today, playing fairly well with good accuracy, but he is getting fewer snaps so far this camp and Bartel looks sharp.

Vaughn McClure has an update on the competition between Chicago Bear teammates Nick Roach and Pisa Tinoisamoa.

"I think there's just a respect for each other," Tinoisamoa said after reporting to training camp Wednesday. "It was weird because I didn't know anything about Nick Roach, and I don't think he knew anything about me last year.

"Then we watched each other out there. And we were just like, 'To the best man.' It could be quite a battle."

Health might be the deciding factor. The knee still appears to be a minor issue for Tinoisamoa, while Roach has had hamstring and concussion issues in the past.

Stephen Tsai profiles Ray Hisatake.

He described his limited experience as a "blessing," noting he has not had any serious injuries.

The Panthers told his agent, Leo Goeas, that Hisatake does not have any bad football-related habits. After all, Hisatake's only football instruction was on the collegiate and pro levels.

"Some people have done things for so long, they don't want to adjust to something new," Hisatake said. "I'm more of, 'You tell me what to do, and I'll do it.'"

Hisatake participated in the Panthers' rookie camp and minicamp. He has worked as the No. 2 left guard.

"I don't know if it's permanent," he said of his depth-chart position, "but they had me there."

And finally, some bad news as Reagan Mauia was cut by the Cardinals.
