Yeah, if you want to make big money over countless years, never play a down and have zero expectations just be a backup T here (Beadles, Gilliam, Coleman). Maybe Skule is next in line for that good life.

Pretty sure I just read that Coleman was starting LT with Staley out.

Coleman at LT, Skule at RT with both starters out.

Didn't realize Staley was out, thanks for the correction.

I read this kid has played guard and center as well. Very experienced SEC OLineman. Can he be a Adam Snyder type backup for us...

Looking forward to seeing him dominate the future grocery clerks of the NFL.

If he plays, I hope he hands out a heaping helping of SKULE fractures

If Justin Skule wins the Swing T spot, do we cut Coleman? We'd save $2.005M.

Yep. It's either Coleman wins and Skule to the PS or Skule wins and Coleman is gone.

AB do you think it's possible we carry two guys who can play OT as depth but also any other spot on the OL? I could see Skule also playing guard when asked.

Seeing as we kept Gilliam and Coleman last year, I'd say yes It's possible. Right now I have Richburg, Person, Tomlinson, Staley, McGlinchey, Garland, and Coleman as top 7, then Skule, and Garnett as inactives. Of course we went with 10 to start the season last year, but the 10th was cut a week later so, as far as total, probably 8-9 depending on how they feel about their OL depth, and health.

I kind of hope this kid makes the team in some way so we can say he took someone to Skule when he pancakes them in a game.
