My point being all along is that they don't have the EXPERIENCED backups they had in '15.

I do agree that we will lack experienced backups at DT, which is where Frazier and the JuCo will be expected to contribute. I think our DE/pass rush DT spots are 2-deep with guys who have played a lot of important minutes, same with our DE spots.

LB has a plethora of guys who had huge game experience. Rashaan Evans played a ton against Clemson. SD Hamilton played quite a bit throughout the season. There will be 1-2 new guys expected to step in, as is usual, but that's how you keep building the depth.

I think that this group, across the board (including the secondary), is deeper, more experienced and more talented than 2015. I don't know that they will be a better defense because of how good the DL was last year. The secondary should be really, really good. The pass rush will be incredibly good.

The biggest thing is this team has experienced leaders at all 3 levels.
