Offensive line coach Jeff Grimes didn’t sound too concerned about the various bumps and bruises on his line.
“[It's] nothing that I don’t think will keep guys from playing, but maybe miss some practice time,” Grimes said. “It’s that time of the year. Even the guys that are practicing and playing are banged up. It’s just part of the deal.”
What stands out to Grimes about Miami’s defensive line?
“Everything,” he said. “Start with their size. They’ve got really, really big defensive linemen, big linebackers. Look a lot physically like Alabama, a 3-4 team that starts with having guys that are big enough to two gap you and try to play on the line of scrimmage with their defensive line and let their backers go make plays.
“But at the same time, they’re not a bunch of big slugs. They can all move. They all have explosiveness and quickness and they’re going to be a big challenge for us because it’s an unusual combination of size and speed in their front seven.”
