re: Kleinpeter (NOLA.com) suggesting a massive shakeup in the secondary coming...

Freshman cornerback Tre'Davious White could be moved into the starting lineup as early as Saturday's game against Kent State in place of Jalen Collins. He may eventually be joined as a starter by fellow freshman Rashard Robinson, who joined the team less than two weeks ago. Both have been impressive with their one-on-one cover skills in practice.

When that happens, starting cornerback Jalen Mills will likely move to the third cornerback spot and Collins to the bench. Micah Eugene is currently the nickel corner but he may move into the starting lineup in place of safety Ronald Martin.

White is way better in run support than Collins. UAB ran several sweeps and Collins wanted no part of taking on the kick out blocks to force inside. We have been spoiled with excellent run stoppers at corner for several years that could also cover. Jalen needs to be the nickel back, its that simple. He is definitely the weakest link in the backfield.

I think Robinson might be our best cover guy, right now. He also has a nose for the ball and plays physical run support. I really think Robinson is going to be the starter. Micah Eugene is a guy I don't really have a feel for?

The one guy that's disappointed me is Loston. He is very serviceable but he had so much accolades and hype that I thought he would be starting earlier in his career. I think he is very physical but takes bad angles. I'm not sure if he overestimates his speed or what the problem is but his pursuit skills are lacking. His foot speed is probably his biggest weakness and it hurts him in coverage. I think he physicality is needed but I can see Georgia burning the seams on him and working him with post corners.
