bama and saban history says otherwise.
The last three times bama and saban ('14, '12 and '10) returned five or few starters on "D" their points given up per game and total defense per game increased.

In 2012, Alabama led the nation in scoring, rushing, and total defense, coming in 7th in passing D. It's impossible to replicate the numbers they put up in 2011, that was an all-time great defense.
2010 is the outlier in all things Alabama and Saban.
A team that returns Eddie Jackson, Tim Williams, Ryan Anderson, Jonathan Allen, Marlon Humphrey, and Minkah Fitzpatrick isn't going to decline greatly. God forbid Tony Brown straightens up, with Reuben Foster and Kendall Sheffield proving capable replacements (no reason to believe otherwise tbh).
The only unit of Bama's team that you can rightfully question at this point is RB.
