Thank you Jeff , I knew OTF would give us the known facts. The other boards have little credibility with me . OTF talk facts.

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.

If they really think they will have Goosby back by OSU then I would put Coleman or Cojoe at LT and let Siani and Baker stay on the right side for better continuity there.

What is the prognosis on Cojoe? He was pushing Baker for the RT spot last year. Is he in the 2 deep?

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 depends on how long Goosby is out. If going to be a couple of weeks or even days, there’s no need to start shuffling guys around for the sake of it. Let Siani and Baker continue to work together to keep building the right side of the line.

Definitely competing and getting most 2nd team RT reps early in camp

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 

That's probably what I would do as well. At least give Coleman more time and work at LT and see what he can do. Of course, we are talking about protecting the blinkside of one of the most vauable football players in the NCAA as well.

Everyone is missing the obvious question. How is he going to get to classes?

 

So the good news is it is not season ending.  But  depending on the severity of the bruise it could be 5-6 weeks . Or less who knows  now without more info. Of course he will get the best care so hopefully that timeline is on the lower end.  Pretty painful injury though for sure.

Ok…

I need an Orthopedic surgeon to tell me Gooseby will play this season—that he will be ok.

Next, I need a psychotherapist to calm me down, pull me back from the cliff and tell me I will be ok this CFB season.

Finally I’m on my way to Costco to buy out their stash of Tums.  🤣😳🤣

(the first scary news is always the worst…)

Newman and Coleman both will get some real “circle of trust” reps the next week or two.

Most of these guys (especially the upper classmen) don't have to go to class often if at all from what I've seen. Mostly online classes.

Nope, those are too dangerous. 

TEXAS should invest in the ammortal chamber. Worked for Matt Stafford back last year as well as Denver Broncos having them on site for their players.

This is about as good an outcome as Texas could have hoped for once Goosby went down. A bone bruise from a hyperextension, with no reported ACL/MCL/meniscus damage, changes this from a potentially season-altering injury into a temporary offensive-line management problem.

I'm just ready for the season to start.  The portal, OL discussion, Flu gate, Ty Smith, and now Goosby, my loins have been girded enough.

Would love to see Siani go to Left Tackle and Cojoe Right Tackle (or whoever is deemed best fit). Really want to keep minimal disruption for the rest of the line, OL cohesion critical. 
 

LT Siani

LG Seymore (or whoever wins out)

C Robertson

RG Baker

RT Cojoe (or whoever wins out)

That’s a relief!  Please, no more articles about the good health of the team!

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.

Flood has shown the ability to get young tackles ready, Remember when Goolsby had to come in for Kelvin Banks a couple years?
