With Miles gone, Saban will adjust and will retool his defense to stop the likes of Clemson more than the traditional LSU offense.

Did you happen to notice Tim Williams and Ryan Anderson the past two years? Fast twitch guys on the edges. Ruben Foster? Not exactly the plodding type like Hightower and McClain were. Their interior guys aren't 350 anymore, they're 290-300. He just hasn't figured out how to stop teams with near equal talent.

Saban already HAS retooled, he just could afford to have his safeties 3 yards off the line of scrimmage because LSU was going to run no matter what.

Situational pass rushers in 2015. Last year they saw expanded roles after adding weight and continued to thrive.

I agree with your point in general, but I think the changes we've seen are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of how Saban views his defense going forward.
