Not much new but found this comment interesting:

We played together so long and that was a tough deal losing Travelle, but Amini has done a great job,” Gross said. “He was a clean slate when he came in and didn’t really have a great understanding of football and how to play offensive line technically or schematically. He played at a small level his whole life, so he’s had a huge jump to make but he’s doing great.”

Hope he has been a great student.

Props on the honesty, Gross. I hope what Amini lacks in football savvy, he makes up for in the sheer size of his arms.

And pissedoffedness.

I admit to being a little apprehensive about our OL these first four games.

I'm glad Gross isn't afraid to say it like it is. Those kind of people make the best teachers.

In some cases, you have to know your students. A comment like that found damage someone's confidence. I trust Gross' judgement, he knows Amini by now.
