He was the starting right tackle.
No he wasn't.
He was listed as a co-starter on our initial fall roster -- something we do pretty regularly for seniors in giving them every opportunity to earn starting spots. He had been with the 2's/3's for us in camp for the past week or so after being passed by Justin Senior and supposedly by Rufus Warren as well.
Robinson is by all accounts a good dude. But he was never going to be a starter in the SEC. Doesn't have the feet for it. With Malone still at guard, Robinson was our 4th best tackle IMO, and had Malone kicked out, he would have been our 5th best -- and that's assuming that he was still better than Warren. Best of luck to him in the future.
This injury doesn't effect our front line much -- but it makes our margin for error on the OL much thinner...

Do you have a heart? And you realize he'll be back next year, right?
