Was 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:00.800 great to hear from him once again. We'll also hear 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:04.520 from him next week in Indianapolis at the scouting Combine. 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:07.920 I believe coaches scheduled to talk on Tuesday afternoon, so 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.600 we'll have that for you guys on the Wednesday podcast. 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:14.320 But for now, he was simply introducing his new defensive coordinator, 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:16.840 Vic Fangio. Let's hear it. Go ahead and hear from 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:19.840 Mike McDaniel on the Dolphins new DC. Yeah. I just 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:25.639 wanted to introduce UM coach Vic Fangio. Exciting day for 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:30.079 the Miami Dolphins organization, the fan base really, UM, you 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:33.760 know since the season ended, you know, really tried to 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:40.400 attach you know in the journey for looking towards the future. Okay, 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:44.880 you know who can we entrust to continue to develop 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:50.919 the players, to maximize all people in the building in 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:54.280 that regard, to do right by the organization and chase 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:58.040 UM what we're trying to chase and building building a winner. 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:02.280 So it was a very easy UM decision when when 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:06.120 giving the opportunity, I was very excited about the opportunity. 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.519 It was really pumped that he he joined in the 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:12.959 in the vision UM and and couldn't couldn't be happy, 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.359 couldn't be any happy really for the organization and and 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:23.320 uh you know really a guy that takes UM professional 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:28.919 football uh serious. But also the obligation to continue evolve 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.519 and get better and you don't UM have a sustaining 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:38.200 career UM for you know, longer than I've been alive, really, UM, 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:44.160 like like Vic has without that that fearless UM chase 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:50.160 of continually continuing to evolve and uh and get better 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.400 UM and be your best version of yourself. Um as 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:57.440 you age with grace, So without further ado, um, Vic 0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:01.720 Fangio defensive coordinator for the Miami. It's always nice when 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:05.200 you identify something that you want, that you desire and 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:09.720 that thing becomes I guess easy to capture or easy 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:12.839 to obtain. And it kind of sounds like that's where 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:14.720 Coach was going towards this whole thing. And I love 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:17.160 hearing the fact that Vic Fangio obviously was the first 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:19.880 choice for McDaniel. You hear him talk about how easy 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.160 of a decision it was and how pumped he was 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.800 when he learned that Fangio really shares and rebels in 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:27.920 that same vision they have for the organization. I think 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:30.400 that makes all the sense in the world. I think 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.360 you look for someone with experience like Vic Fangio, what 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.520 he brings the defensive side of the ball, and his 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.160 capability of really just kind of being the head coach 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:40.440 of the defense in that way, and then for Mike 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.160 McDaniel to have his fingerprints all over the offense and 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:46.880 as the head coach of the entire operation, the entire organization. 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:49.160 It just seems to me like there is like what 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:52.400 coach McDaniel talked about there that shared vision of excellence, 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.800 shared idea of the potential, and the teaching aspect to 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.240 get those guys to grow and live up to the 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:00.800 potential they believe they can play. We're gonna hear from 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.760 Coach Fangio on that just one second. But first we're 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.679 gonna go back to Fangio and his first question was asked, 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:09.080 what made the Miami Dolphins the right fit for you? 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:13.120 Here's coach Well, I think the Dolphins have a good 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:17.719 thing going here. I like the Mike and his staff 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.520 that he already has in place here. I think there's 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:23.320 good components to the coaching staff led by Mike that 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:27.599 made it in intriguing to join that. I think there's 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:31.480 a good nucleus of players here and the lure of 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.400 South Florida. And then, as promised him talking about the 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:37.920 importance of maximizing the players under his tutelage, here's Coach 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:41.320 Fangio on how to maximize the players or the potential 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:43.719 I should say of the players they have on the defense. 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:45.800 I love the last part he talks about here with 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:49.320 players with room for potential. Well, I've always believed to 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:54.360 just try and improve every player as an individual, and 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:57.000 then hopefully you do that well enough to where their 0:05:57.080 --> 0:06:02.600 position group improves, and if their position group improves, than 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.480 the defense has improved. So you really do it from 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:09.839 the ground up. And there's a lot of good young 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:12.840 players here that I think have room to grow, and 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:16.480 hopefully myself and the staff will get that done. Coach 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:20.880 Fangio also discussed the relationship between he and Mike McDaniel, 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:24.240 saying really didn't have one prior to this hiring, but 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.479 he was asked about his first impression of Mike McDaniel 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.400 after getting the job, and McDaniel was on vacation last 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:32.240 week and now he's here in the buildings. They're both 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:35.039 working together this week. Here's coach Fangio on his first 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:38.520 impression of head coach Mike McDaniel. Yeah, well it's been 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.880 very little because I got here last Tuesday and Mike 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:45.280 was on vacation, so today's the first day we're in 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:49.560 here together. Now we did some zoom interviews together from 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:53.920 where he was last week. But you know everything I thought. 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:58.600 You know, he's energetic, genuine, obviously good, got a good 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:03.240 football mind, puts good offensive football out there, and hopefully 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:07.120 we can compliment that, and y'all heard on my podcast 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.880 with Coach about the year off he spent. Here's Coach 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:12.120 talking a little bit more about what he did during that, 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:15.200 you know, professor on sabbatical as he described it here 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:17.240 on the Drivetime podcast. Go back and check out the 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:19.800 Friday episode if you have not heard that one yet 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:22.440 with Coach Fango, an exclusive his first as a member 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:24.800 of the Miami Dolphins here on the Drivetime podcast. But 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:26.600 he also talked about a few of the players here 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:28.840 on the roster and that's what I really wanted to 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:32.240 show you guys. Here's Coach Fangio. Well, you know, I 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:37.160 didn't study the Dolphins defense per se that much basically 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:39.560 what I did with all my time, you know, I 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.440 kind of treated it like a college professor on a 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:46.640 sabbatical and was watching a lot of NFL tape more 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:51.280 from a situational standpoint rather than studying a team per se. 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:56.960 So I actually never actually studied the Dolphins in its entirety. Now, 0:07:57.040 --> 0:08:02.680 obviously their games would come across these situational studies that 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:06.280 I was doing, and I think there's some good young 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:09.720 talent there obviously, you know, just from two years ago 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:13.520 in the draft with Phillips and Holland, and those are 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.640 two really good players that I really liked in the draft. 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:20.200 You know, Bradley Chubb is here, who obviously I know about, 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.960 and several other guys. You know, Christian Wilkins is here, 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:27.200 who another guy liked in the draft, who you know. 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:31.880 Christian's greatest honor is the Bill Campbell Award Trophy, which 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:35.760 is the academic heisman, and Bill Campbell was a good 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:39.960 friend of mine, so he'll always when I see him, 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:44.680 I always think of that. But there's a good nucleus 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:46.960 of players here for me to give you a great 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:50.880 answer schematically, you know, i'd be stretching it. You also 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:53.280 heard coach on the Draft Time podcast talk about some 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:55.240 of the new coverages. He's excited to get a chance 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.800 to come out here and put to some pen to paper, 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.120 if you will, and try him out during ot Is 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:02.880 in camp. He was asked about that, but again more 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.920 context behind that. He talks a little bit about the 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:09.520 philosophy of tailing the defense to what you do. Well, Yeah, 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:15.079 there's a few things that that I came up with 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:17.720 that I'm anxious to try. You know, we'll try him 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.439 and OTAs at some point and in training camp, and 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:23.120 you know, as a good fit for the other things 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:26.000 we do. But what's going to be most important is 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:31.120 tailor and what we do to our players and to 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:35.880 the opponent that we're playing for that week. So you know, 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:38.520 there may be things that we did at previous stops 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:40.559 that we won't do much here because it doesn't fit 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:43.679 our players, and vice versa. You know, we might do 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:45.960 something a lot that we didn't do other places because 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:49.520 it's a better fit for our players. So and sometimes 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:52.040 it's a better You might think it would be great 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:55.199 to do something because it fits a certain player really good, 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:57.600 but you really have to think about how it fits 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:01.800 all eleven and what's the best way to stop somebody 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:05.560 from scoring too many points. Really interesting stuff there from 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:07.880 coach in terms of sometimes you blitz a lot, sometimes 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:10.720 you don't blitz. You know, just a multitude of things 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.800 you do based upon the personnel you have. Next, he 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:16.040 was asked about Bradley Chubb and he talked about him 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:18.599 a little bit and basically said that Chubb had some 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:20.800 injury issues when he was back there in Denver that 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.200 didn't really allow him to get into the full groove 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:26.439 except for one portion of that second season. Now Here 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:28.760 he is talking a little bit about Bradley Chubb, but 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:31.040 also the combination of he and Jalen Phillips, who, of 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:33.400 course you heard him mentioned earlier as a player in 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:35.240 that twenty twenty one draft class that he was a 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:37.640 big fan of. Here he is talking about the makeup 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.760 and tools of Bradley Chubb and Jaylen Phillips coming off 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:43.640 the edge. And this Vic Fangio defense sounds good, doesn't it. 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:49.280 They have great potential, but you know, potential, we gotta 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:54.280 see it, you know, we're talking about it is easy projecting, 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:56.640 it is easy, but we got to see it. And 0:10:56.880 --> 0:11:00.800 I'm confident knowing those two guys work ethic that they'll 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:04.600 do everything they can to put a good product out 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:06.199 there on the field from the both of them. But 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.920 they both have the tools, both have the makeup to 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:12.559 be really good players on the edges for us. How 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.559 about your defensive philosophy, coach, would that be? Well? Pretty 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:17.280 simple stuff here, but it makes a lot of sense. 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:19.640 Here's coach Fangio and what he hopes to accomplish here 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:23.079 in Miami with a defense. You know, we're in charge 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:27.920 of not letting the other teams score and we will 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:30.439 do anything and everything to do that. You know that 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:33.760 I've been places in the past where we pressured a lot. 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:37.599 I've been places where we didn't pressure very much. You know, 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:40.640 you got to fit the scheme to the players that 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:44.720 you have while also factoring in the opponents that you're playing. 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:48.000 So hopefully we'll be a team that will keep the 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:53.040 points down, make it hard for teams to score a 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:57.199 lot of points, and put our offense in position to 0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:01.240 score points for us. So you know, I'm not a 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:03.599 buzzword guy as far as that goes, other than we 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:05.880 want to play good defense, and what's good defense? Keep 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:08.319 mind of the end zone. Next one here, I thought 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:12.160 was really interesting from coach talking about young coaches across 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:15.000 the NFL working for a coach who was basically born 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:17.640 around the same time you got into coaching. All these 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:21.000 offensive whizzes that have these brilliant football minds that make 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:23.319 it so challenging for the defense to attack in the 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:26.760 modern NFL. Here's coach, fans, you're talking about the Super Bowl, 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:30.000 those two teams, those two offenses, those two quarterbacks, and 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:34.080 the way you stop them evolution, but also talking about 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.480 the running game here, really good stuff here from one 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:38.840 of the most experienced minds, one of the smartest defensive 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:42.520 mindsman football, your new defensive coordinat Vic Fangio talking about 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:48.280 the modern game. Yeah, the game's evolving, you know it. 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:52.319 You know, since I got in the league, the evolution 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:56.079 of the game is just continued. And I mean, I 0:12:56.160 --> 0:13:00.120 think we saw it firsthand. And the Super Bowl, I 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:04.199 guess it was nine days ago, eight days ago. You know, 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:08.920 two really good, two great quarterbacks, two great offenses, and 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:12.280 they had their way with the both defenses in that game. 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:15.960 There was like, I believe, seventeen possessions in that game, 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:19.760 and I think fourteen of them resulted in scores. And 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:23.320 we've got to find a way to slow that down. 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:27.520 And the only way you do that is to evolve 0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:32.400 your philosophy, what you're teaching, what you're playing to fit 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:35.679 stopping what they're doing. Though, you know, to line up 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:40.480 and play what you did ten fifteen years ago, although 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.040 you're still doing some of that, you have to adapt 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:47.280 it to today's NFL game. And you know, when it 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:50.880 was years ago, you know, every team had a fullback. 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:55.320 Now hardly any teams have a fullback, and the fullback 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:58.319 has been replaced by a third wide receiver or a 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.839 second tight end who's like a third wide receiver. That 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:05.839 in and of itself has changed the game. But teams 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:10.280 are still running the ball. You know, everybody likes to 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:15.800 say it's a past happy league, but percentage wise, from 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:19.240 forty years ago to now, the runs have decreased only 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:22.520 about four percent. And Chris Greer told me, because he's 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:25.520 on the Competition Committee, they had a graphic last week 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:28.480 in a meeting, this is the most runs in the 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:32.320 NFL this past year, in the last twenty five years. 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:34.960 So you still have to be able to stop the 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:38.680 run and play physical. Two more here from coach, and 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:40.400 I just love what he talked about there with a 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:44.760 running game and the biggest percentage of run to pass 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:48.200 differential in the last twenty five years per Chris Greer, 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:50.680 who's on the Competition Committee. Really good stuff there and 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:52.920 obviously a big part of this game. And you have 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:54.400 to be able to defend the run. And we've talked 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:57.200 a lot about you know, Coach's system with Sean Sayed 0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:59.520 and on the podcast after that as well in terms 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:02.160 of playing those you know, two high structures ultimately get 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:04.680 into two and three high and having to sacrifice from 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:06.640 a player in the box. But when you have guys 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:09.080 like Seeler and Wilkins that can help control line scrimmage, 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.040 it's going to help you in that run game, defending 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.600 the run despite being you know, light in the box 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.400 as it were, so really fascinating stuff there from coach. 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:19.160 Let's go ahead to this penultimate question for coach about 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:22.240 why come back to the NFL right now? A lot 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:25.200 of coaches that have hate your accomplishments and you know, 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:27.040 reach a certain age, want to go ahead and right 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:29.680 off into the sunset. Why come back? Coach? Why? Yeah, 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.040 I just because that's who I am. That's what I do, 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:35.680 That's what I like to do. I still have a 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:40.800 lot of coaching left in me, and I don't you know, 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:43.560 it's not like I'm thinking about retirement or anything. Somebody 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:45.000 asks how much long are you going to do this? 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.800 I don't know, because it might be ten years. If 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:52.400 they'll have me here for ten years. It's just who 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:55.080 I am, what I do, what I enjoy doing, Like 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:58.360 the competition. I like teaching players. I like to see 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:04.000 players improve as into visuals and putting something together is 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:07.400 challenging and fulfilling. And let's go ahead and get to 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:09.120 the last one here yet. Well, if you want to 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:10.640 be here ten years, I would be pretty sweet to 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.000 have him and Mike McDaniel here for a decade on 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:15.800 your coaching staff. Finishing up with our tenth one speaking 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:19.680 of a decade here, talking about Javon Holland, Coach talked 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:22.120 about his prowess and what makes him a good player. 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:24.360 You can find the entirety of this interview up on 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:26.400 the team YouTube channel. Let's go ahead and go to 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:30.160 coach for the last one here on safety Javon Holland. Well, 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:32.240 I haven't studied him enough since he's got in the 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:34.320 NFL as far as what can I teach him, But 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:36.880 I do know I really liked him the year he 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:40.280 came out in the draft. I like his physical ability, 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:44.200 his combination of size, speed, quickness. He's got good instincts. 0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:49.440 I think he's smart from a football standpoint, And you're right, 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:52.320 we've had some good luck with safeties over the years 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:57.080 and the last few stops, and I'm hopeful and confident 0:16:57.200 --> 0:16:59.760 that he can be one of the top safeties in 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:03.840 the great stuff there from Coach and Coach in their 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:06.520 Monday Morning introduction press conference. Let's go ahead and pick 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:09.040 this up as the laptop fires up with your mail 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:11.920 bad questions. I put the call out on Twitter on Thursday. 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:13.520 I think it was I wanted to give you all 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:15.520 plenty of time to get those questions in, and let's 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:17.399 go ahead and answer some of those questions right now 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:20.680 here on the podcast. First one from at fins fan X. 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:23.920 Which players do you think can benefit the most from 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:26.960 Fangio's coaching. Where I think you stand to see a 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:31.200 big potential change and perhaps better production is with the 0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:34.480 ability for Miami to pressure with just four guys up front. Now, 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:36.200 if you go back and look at the list of 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:39.760 reported candidates for the DC job, they all had something 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:43.480 in common blitz rates in the fifteen to twenty percent rage, 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:46.320 which is a significant reduction from what we've seen here 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:49.280 in the past. Now, that's obviously not a guarantee that 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:52.560 it just automatically improves your defensive numbers, but I do 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:55.240 think that the personnel is more suited for that style 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:59.199 of defense, particularly after the Bradley Chubb trade last season. 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:02.400 He's probably the first guy that comes to mind him 0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:05.320 and Jalen Phillips Off the edge, Fangio was a long 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:08.800 time outside linebackers coach, and he had a as you 0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:12.560 heard on the Friday podcast with Fangio on the pod 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:14.680 and then hearing from Brandon Staley and other people that 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:17.359 kind of gave us some testimonials there. You know, the 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:19.800 Dome Patrol defense the New Orleans Saints back in the 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:22.760 late nineties that Fangio was a coach of. It's just 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:26.359 kind of to get a nickname at a position group 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:28.879 means a lot. And so I think that when you 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:30.800 look at the guys he's coach, the Khalil Max, the 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:33.600 Bradley Chubbs, the von Miller's now he gets Chubb again 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:36.440 and Jalen Phillips, I just think that that's a big 0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:39.200 area that can really benefit from his tutelage. And I 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:41.280 say that because one of the things I've come to 0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:44.320 learn and really admire about this defense and how coach 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:47.520 Fangio is perceived by film gurus, and simply just what 0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:49.240 the tape shows is that you're not going to find 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:53.240 many defenses that disguise things better. The piece I mentioned 0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:55.720 on the Friday pod from Ted Wynn and The Athletic 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:57.960 had a quote from an anonymous player who said, you're 0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:01.240 going to get very little pre snap from Fangio's defense. 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:04.680 You just don't get a lot of information based upon 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:07.159 what he shows. And let's actually go ahead and dtour 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:09.200 from that point here real quick, because two players I 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:12.320 think could see a nice little jolt as well are 0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:15.000 the two young studs we have at safety in Javon 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:17.840 Holland and Brandon Jones. The way those guys prepare, the 0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:20.399 way they communicate, how fast they play. As a result 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:23.280 of all that, I think they are quintessential pieces to 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:27.399 maximize the defense's ability to disguise what it does. And 0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:30.080 with all the hybrid coverage and variety you get on 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:32.840 the back end from man match and zone match principles, 0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:35.680 it puts more eyes in the quarterback and for Javon Holland, 0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:39.160 you know him keying quarterbacks and playing more robber roles 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:43.280 and buzzing crossers and coming down as a spy, you know, slash, hook, convert, 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:46.200 blitzing at the line of scrimmage off the edge. Look 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:49.080 at all the defenses Fangio has run and there is 0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:52.440 always a safety with massive production. Justin Simmons was a 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:55.800 four or five interception per year guy in Denver under 0:19:55.960 --> 0:20:00.280 Fangio Eddie Jackson in Chicago had a breakout ca pain 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:03.200 when Fangio got there to Sean Goldson and Dante Whitner 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:06.400 in San Francisco. I see no reason that you don't 0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:08.720 see Javon Holland doing just that. The guy had three 0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:11.320 picks last year and a strip sack that produced a 0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:14.359 touchdown a few plays later in a defense that had 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:16.800 him twenty yards off the ball, just basically patrolling the 0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:18.840 deep vertical shots, and he did a good job of that. 0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:23.719 But more opportunities to make plays will maximize his skill set. Obviously, 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:27.280 back to the front though, those safeties and their ability 0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:32.679 to maximize disguise, paired with the simulated rushes and fire 0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:35.680 zone calls, those are designed to not just confuse the quarterback, 0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:39.720 but confuse the production or the protection rather and generate 0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:43.120 one on one matchups. I mean, if you get thirty 0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:45.640 five drop backs in a game and we can get 0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:48.480 twenty of those reps where either Chubb or Jalen is 0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:51.040 one on one outside, they're going to make a big 0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:52.800 impact in the game. But then you also look at 0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:55.080 a lot of the guys that had major production under 0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:59.399 coach Fangio upfront, and it's players with body types and 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:02.720 placed a lot like Christian Wilkins and Zach Seeler, those 0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:06.800 defensive tackles with inside outside flexibility, you know, great quickness, 0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:10.040 length and power and that two hundred and ninety pound 0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:12.159 a three hundred and ten pound range like they had 0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:14.920 Draymont Jones and Denver. And he was a consistent five 0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:17.720 six seven sacks per year type of player. There Akeem 0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:19.960 Hicks in Chicago a little bit more of a nose, 0:21:20.000 --> 0:21:23.320 but had outside flexibility as well. He was very productive 0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:26.400 with the Bears under coach Fangio. Then finally, the corners 0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:29.920 tend to get takeaway chances as well, which is a 0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:34.040 product of those confusing post nap rotations, playing more coverage 0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:36.040 that has eyes in the quarterback opposed to eyes on 0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:38.440 your man like I remember when Byron Jones signed here, 0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:41.800 the big conversation was around his you know, takeaways or 0:21:41.920 --> 0:21:45.000 lack thereof that he generated, and like he was a 0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:47.880 great player because he was so good at man coverage, 0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:51.159 but that style of play just did not suit you know, 0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:54.680 take It wasn't conducive for a takeaway style defense. But 0:21:54.800 --> 0:21:56.320 if you play more zone when your eyes are on 0:21:56.320 --> 0:21:58.479
