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

While LSU's defense has responded fairly well considering the huge losses in the starting lineup, there may be some major changes looming - and soon. Sources close to the situation say that the secondary could well undergo a shakeup in the coming weeks.
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.
Collins struggled toward the end of last season and was beaten down the sidelines for a 35-yard pass play against TCU. Mills also was beaten for a 41-yard touchdown pass by UAB's Jamarcus Nelson Saturday. Coaches are apparently unhappy with Martin's tackling.

surprised he didn't mention Loston as well...

RR came on two weeks ago?
I thought defensive problems was Welter's fault?
Rantard logic at its finest.
I've never once heard anyone say anything about j Collins other than positve things and its now rumored he's getting benched.

Dang, those are wholesale changes. Sucks for mills, but if theyre better, they're better.
Posted on 9/8/13 at 5:29 pm to The Egg
Leave Mills where he's at and let White come in as the #2 CB with Robinson at the 3rd CB.

wow

I'm all for this. Martin has looked really tentative out there while Eugene has been flying all over the field making plays.
Collins will probably sit, I don't see Mills losing a starting spot, though.

Like it. Tre White is a beast. He needs to start
Posted on 9/8/13 at 5:31 pm to The Egg
Rashard Robinson must be the truth if he can take a starting spot from a guy that was all-SEC after two weeks on campus.
Posted on 9/8/13 at 5:32 pm to The Egg
Mills isn't going anywhere. White over Collins happened last night so that's no surprise. Eugene is a liability in coverage but he looks like the most sure tackler on the team.

I find this really hard to believe
Mills has been decent, and I don't know if it want to go into Athens with two true freshman starting at CB
Wouldn't mind seeing more of Eugene, he's been great so far IMO.
Posted on 9/8/13 at 5:35 pm to The Egg
lol so Kleinpeter thinks we're gonna start 2 true freshmen CBs because the best cb on the team got beat for the first time this year?
No way mills gets benched

I'm more concerned about the corners in the run game than coverage.
Posted on 9/8/13 at 5:40 pm to The Egg
Wouldn't surprise me.

Let the best players play regardless of class! Geaux Tigers

not surprised white is taking over for collins. figured that would happen eventually this season. collins is a good player but i've never seen him as a lockdown starter for us.
i'll be shocked if robinson takes over for mills.

ronald martin has not been very good. I don't know about eugene but we are in desperate need of a safety
my other concern with the defense is the pass rush. holy shite. and welter needs to be benched permanently.

Does Loston look too slow to anyone else?
