Gone is Marcus Harris and his 40 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, seven sacks and No. 2 overall defensive grade by Pro Football Focus. Gone is Lawrence Johnson and his three tackles for loss, 238 snaps and No. 6 overall defensive grade by PFF. Gone is Justin Rogers and his 17 tackles and 375 snaps at the nose guard position last season. And gone is Mosiah Nasili-Kite, who had six QB pressures in just five games before a season-ending injury.
