8/1/2023 0 Comments Sun sentinel subscription![]() When you have accomplished defenders such as Ramsey, Howard and Chubb, and rising players such as Phillips, Kohou, Holland, and lineman Christian Wilkins, along with steady veterans such as linebackers Jerome Baker and David Long Jr., lineman Emmanuel Ogbah and safety DeShon Elliott, you should be successful. Having said all of that, no matter how much I like Fangio and his candor, his defense must produce. I appreciate Fangio not taking a Pollyanna approach to the defense. ![]() You already know I’m excited about the defense. Īnd when asked last week whether an ESPN report was true, that if not for the Jonathan Gannon tampering charge, Fangio would be Philadelphia’s defensive coordinator, Fangio replied, “That’s possible, but I will neither confirm nor deny.”īefore he said all of that, he told us he had some new ideas he was tinkering with during his year away from full-time coaching. And then he told us Phillips and Chubb have great potential, but we must see results. Yeah, I realize it’s limited candor, sometimes even cryptic.īut Fangio has been good from the start, when he told us he’d base his defensive system on his talent. I like his approach, and I like his candor. This defense needs to find players who can play well despite their youth and relative inexperience, like safety Jevon Holland, slot/nickel Kader Kohou, safety Brandon Jones and rookie cornerback Cam Smith. Again, we knew that Fangio said it out loud. This defense needs its good players to be really good: Edge rushers Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb and cornerbacks Jalen Ramsey and Xavien Howard. We already knew that as Fangio said it out loud. This defense is short on talent in some areas, including inside linebacker and interior defensive line depth.
