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

This is my vote. We heard tons of positive notes on Coleman getting 2nd team LT snaps. Let’s see what he’s got so we keep as much continuity as possible everywhere else. Thanks Jeff. 

Hopefully they keep the line the same and just insert Coleman at LT. Time to sink or swim. Unless he's regularly getting Arch killed in pass pro, should be a more than good enough lineup to handle game 1 and give Goosby time to heal.

Glass half full, give some dudes some valuable reps with the ones. 

Per ChatGPT: Players over 300lbs with only knee bone bruises and no other structural damage

If he were out for the year moving Siani over would probably be our best bet but if he’s only out for a few weeks, I’d focus on maintaining continuity in the scheme.

Great Q Oregon Joe 

Jonte Newman looked pretty damn good in Saturday's scrimmage

Jordan Coleman will also likely rep some

so, what's generally the timetable for a bone bruise. Does he sit out week one to develop depth and get him into action against Ohio State? 

4-6 weeks depending on the location. If he had to play he could. But if he doesn’t have to then let it recover. Bone is consistently unpredictable and the decision is typically pain based. It could still show on MRI for months. I think they will play it safe for week 1. But expect him back week 2.
