The DL has the personnel to be a dominant force in the coming years. Qualls and Mathis are starting to show a bit as others have noted. Vea is a natural replacement for Shelton and Dissly, McGary, Gaines, Johnson are some excellent looking prospects.
Surely the D will take a step back next season but perhaps with some coaching and proper development the back 7 can be almost as good as it is now. Look at ASU's D. Lost 10 starters and was a dreckfest to start the year but has slowly gotten better. Theres no reason we shouldn't have the same type of expectation for next seasons D.
