I agree with this. LSU will probably be fine in the front line. Lots of guys with playing time can take on increased rolls, but just about the entire 2 deep will be guys that have never seen the field before. I don't think there will be a backup with any amount of real playing time on the defensive roster other than OLB and S.

To me, that's a bit concerning.

Meh, our LBs are experienced and at least 5 deep and our CB's are very experienced. People forget Tahj Jones won the starting job last year before being ruled ineligible. Kwon and Debo will turn heads and we have the veteran Barrow in the middle.

Loston is back and his backups and the FS position are talented as hell. Martin and Thompson will be gamers.

Our DLine is the most scary part, but you can plug freshman into that role (sick DL class coming in) and the starters coming back have tons of experience.

Is Eugene a S or a CB right now?

I know he was mostly the Dime and for all intents and purposes was playing the TM7 freshman roll of blitzing DB, but I don't know that he showed enough in coverage this season that he can really slide into the Nickel.

The Jalens will be fine, but I'm mildly concerned with who takes on the Nickel and Dime spots.

Im looking forward to Martin starting at S, he's going to be great, and his limited snaps it seems like he can cover. LSU really missed Brandon Taylors ability to actually cover people man to man. That made it much easier on Chavis IMO.
