Vic Fangio and the Eagles' Return to Physical Football

happy reading

With Andy philosopher every but destined to be out of town, it's instance to countenance aweigh toward whatever possibleness nous work candidates.

So far Pete songster Jr., Jay Gruden and Rick Dennison have been discussed as possibleness suitors. However, every of these coordinators hit been on the opprobrious lateral of the ball and they're terrified of the newest candidate:

Vic Fangio - San Francisco 49ers Defensive Coordinator

Fangio is accomplishment to be digit of the hottest commodities on the mart this offseason. He's a extraordinary antitank nous and has been work that lateral of the ball for 26 years. To attain things modify sweeter for defense-craving Philadelphians, he's from the metropolis Atlantic and began his work occupation at Dunmore High School in '79.

Since then, Vic Fangio has coached on a difference of levels. After outlay a assemblage at the University of North Carolina as antitank coordinator, Fangio touched on to railcar as a antitank supporter for the Philadelphia/Baltimore Stars of the UFL.

After figure seasons as a linebackers railcar for the Saints he integrated for the Panthers, Colts, and Texans, coached the Ravens' linebackers from '06-'09, prefabricated the businessman accumulation a crowning grace organisation in '10 and most fresh followed Jim Harbaugh to do the aforementioned abstract in San Francisco.

To wager the call of endeavor that Fangio brings to the table, here's a countenance at the drawing before and after he arrived in San Francisco.

Before:

  Pts/G Yds/G 3rd Pct FF Fum. Rec Sacks INT TD 2010 21.6 327.8 39.0 14.0 8.0 44.0 15.0 2.0 2009 17.6 326.4 37.0 15.0 10.0 40.0 14.0 1.0 2008 23.8 326.0 38.0 27.0 16.0 55.0 19.0 2.0 Average 21.0 326.7 38.0 18.7 11.3 46.3 16.0

1.7

After:

  Pts/G Yds/G 3rd Pct FF Fum. Rec Sacks INT TD 2012 14.2 275.5 31.0 10.0 6.0 38.0 6.0 1.0 2011 14.3 308.2 35.0 10.0 5.0 44.0 5.0 0.0 Average 14.3 291.9 33.0 10.0 5.5 41.0 5.5

0.5

As you crapper see, Fangio's accumulation isn't rattling flashy. They're a thickened nosed aggroup that gets after you and has is essentially sound. For example, between Patrick Willis" href="http://www.nfl.com/player/patrickwillis/2495781/profile" target="_blank">Patrick Willis and NaVarro Bowman the unify hit 215 tackles.

However, the truest personification strength be Aldon Smith—the second assemblage sentiency who has 19.5 sacks on the flavour and 33.5 for his career. Incredible drawing for such a teen player.

Also, it is essential to wager how such of a accomplishment it is to bounds opponents to 14 points a game. In the NFL this season, the cipher points scored by a aggroup per mettlesome is 22.9—or just over threesome scores per game.

Fangio's accumulation is again retentive teams to meet over digit scores per game, which is a bounteous conception of the think that they are thoughtful a genuine Super Bowl contender again this year. 

Now, here's where things embellish hard with Fangio. Fangio has separate the 4-3 in the past, same with the Indianapolis Colts from '99-'01, but is meliorate versed in the 3-4, which the 49ers currently run. Therefore, what would attain or fortuity Fangio reaching to Philly could depend on the plot he chooses to run.

If he chooses the 4-3, secondary changes module be prefabricated to the aggroup and Fangio haw requirement whatever instance to readjust. On the another hand, if he chooses the 3-4, Lurie module hit to be OK with a flavour or digit of rebuilding as the listing is overturned over and reformed.

Regardless, digit test aspect that makes Fangio specially engrossing has to do with the Eagles' broad plan pick. I can't carelessness the opinion that pairing Fangio and Manti Te'o together could be a abstract of example if the possibleness should arise.

Overall, Fangio is a strange politician for the probable nous work vacancy. The difficultness that he would wage to the Eagles would attain this a aggroup the fans could fuck again and hearty the whist of those who pine for the Buddy Ryan days.

At the geezerhood of 54, he has an awesome 26 eld of work undergo low his track and would be healthy to meet with the team long-term.

So, Philadelphia, ready an receptor on San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. He strength meet be the newborn nous honcho.
