Brian Kelly Shares New Plan For Javien Toviano In LSU's Defense

by Staff Reporter

Brian Kelly joined the SEC Coaches Teleconference on Wednesday and said that defensive back Javien Toviano will play Star for the rest of the season in LSU's defense.

Toviano, a sophomore from Arlington, Texas, has played corner and safety for the Tigers over the last two seasons. Now, he can settle in at one position, and Major Burns can return to safety when they need him there.

quote:
"We can't keep moving him around," Kelly said. "We believe Toviano is really good closer to the ball and the line of scrimmage because he such a sure tackler, and he's assignment correct."

Yall seem to be missing the point where it says Burns would play IF necessary. Meaning Toviano is in major is out. Plain and simple baws. Hopefully it's not too little to late. Seems like we've already wasted 5 weeks of Toviano play special teams and not getting reps at the new role

Except that isn't what it says. It says Burns will play SAFETY if necessary. Toiano will play at the star position rather than being moved around, that is not to say he will start. Burns will still be the first option at star when playing in that alignment.

I was ok with the plan until they brought up #8.

Does Toviano have the ability to give us what Perkins was intended for? Is he just a completely different type of player?

Burns should not be on the field....unless the team is up by 40 with 30 seconds left.

Is it just me or did BK use the term “assignment correct” in several quotes referencing several younger players today? I think his message is being delivered. Know your assignments or sit, even if you’ve been here 17 years.

That is his best position and see where he is the next man up after Major.

This seems significant. Interested to see how much we see of him against Ole Miss

Let's just play the Italian Stallion at Star and put Major Burns on the bench

My thoughts exactly. Burns is a liability in coverage.

I'm just glad he lost that neck thing this year, LOL.
