I really don't see many difference between this year and 2011.
We have two young corners in Mills and Collins who saw plenty of action in 2012, ala Claiborne and Mathieu.
We have almost an entirely new starting d-line with players who have been quite productive in their previous limited contributions like Johnson and Rasco similar to Mingo and Montgomery.
We have established starter in Barrow returning (ala Baker) who will lead a slew of promising, talented, and now even a little experienced themselves LBers (ala Minter and Tahj Jones.)
Not to mention promising freshman everywhere like Tre White, Beckwith, and the ton of new d-line guys like Gilmore, Neal, etc.

If anyone's sleeping on this team simply because there's new faces, they're going to be sorely mistaken. I'm actually enjoying all the downplaying we're getting from the media bc the true football gurus know we have just a good a chance as any to get to Pasadena.
