What's going on with Vic Fangio Broncos defense

Vic Fangio is top 5 defensive coach in the league, finally got his chance of being HC after 30+ years in the NFL. 

 

Denver Broncos defense are the only defense without sack and turnover! This is a team that has VON MILLER & BRADLEY CHUBB! 

I know is early but damn, why is such great defensive mind like Fangio struggling to have an impact on Broncos defense?

It should be noted that the bears defense is still not missing a beat without him. 

While the rest of the league was going with young offensive minds who could mold young franchise QBs, Elway went with an old school defense first coach who knows nothing about offense and paired him with a washed up QB who was never great and hasn’t even been good in 5 years. This is looking like back to back HC hiring disasters

Fangios defense starts with the 5 tech and coverage.  In SF he made a pretty good edge DE into arguably the best defensive player in the NFL.  In Chicago, Hicks was one of the first guys added in the defensive rebuild.  Fangio's 5 tech does more than just eat space.  He hasnto penetrate and draw attention from the edge.  Derek Wolfe is not that guy.  He also does not have anywhere near the level of safety play he needs to disguise his coverages.  Fangio likes to make everything look like 2 deep.  And then he'll roll into another coverage at the snap.

Fangio better figure it out quickly. If that defense is underperforming his stint will be awfully short.
