OTF Premium Sources: Trevor Goosby's left knee injury diagnosed as a bone bruise

[Jeff Howe]

I added to the original post with some scenarios about what Texas could do as long as Goosby is out.

With that said, I'm with @Gerry Hamilton — I want to keep Brandon Baker at left guard if at all possible.

Who do you think will take first team reps Newman? Coleman?

I agree with this because the OL is still developing continuity. Shuffling around positions shortly before the season could hurt the progress.

If Siani moves to the left side, my guess would be Newman or possibly Cojoe.

There’s a case to be made for plugging Coleman in at left tackle and keeping everything else the same.

I would keep Melvin on the right side to continue to develop his rapport with baker. But I’m also a idiot and don’t know much

I’d do the same. Plug in Coleman on the left. Maintain continuity as much as possible.

Thanks OTF staff for keeping us informed. Crazy morning.

It feels like it makes the most sense to keep everyone else in the same roles they’ll be in when he gets back healthy, and use Cojoe or someone at left tackle in the meantime. Ohio State is five full weeks away. Unless he’s expected to miss the Ohio State game.

I don't know sh!t, but isn't LT more important than RT? If so, move Siani to LT, the position he's played until he joined Texas, and figure something out at RT while Goosby is out.

It's 3 and a half weeks away.

But I thought the season was over? Isn’t that what 50% of this board was saying just an hour ago? The pee-pants brigade never stops showing its stripes.

Siani was an outstanding LT at Wake.  I’ll be surprised if he does not move to LT while Goosby is out.  I think the real question is what RG/RT combo is best.  I hope they keep Baker at RG and would like to see Newman at RT, but I’m not sure which combo is best.  We’ll see.

Ohio st is 3.5 weeks away
