Terez Hall earning more responsibility has also solidified the LB corps to a phenomenal degree. It's allowed Brandon Lee to utilize his athleticism a bit more and has allowed Garrett to concentrate a bit more on simply being a powerful anchor in the middle; he's not being asked to work in space quite as much.
The entire LB corps has really firmed up but I think it would fall apart again if Hall were to get injured.
As for next year...man, you worry that they're going to have to go through a lot of this all over again because Beckner's almost certainly going to leave and if/when he does (and Frazier graduates), they'll need to find an entirely different plan of attack on the front line. They'll lose all 4 of their present starters. While I don't think Harold's going to be that tough to replace, the other 3 won't be easy, especially not all at once.
Williams will obviously have to be a huge part of that but who mans the middle? They simply don't have anyone with Beckner's explosion or Logan's raw strength. And that's presuming someone like Turner can step up to replace Frazier. The DL may be awfully messy so it's a damn good thing they seem to have a bit of stability and performance at LB right now.
