I love our Defense, I love watching them play and I'm an offense kinda guy. However, this defense is so fast, so physical, and so deep that it is exciting to watch. With Del Rio's injury I was initially concerned but with our defense we can play with anyone. I then started thinking about next years defense and all we are losing.
DL - Cox, Ivie, Maybe Brantley?? (I'm not sure unless he breaks out and starts becoming more disruptive)
I think we will be ok on the D Line with the depth we have developed.
LB - This is where I get worried - Davis, Anzalone (If he keeps playing like he is there is no doubt he leaves), McMillian. Those first 2 will be hard to replace and we will see some dropoff.
Secondary - This is where I cry- Tabor, Maye , Wilson (Unless he stays 1 more year to play with his brother and improve his draft stock - I know im reaching there) I dont see Dawson, Harris, or Washington going anywhere. I think Chauncey, Putu, and some younger guys will be good, but once again there will be dropoff.
