TheVillain112 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 8 minutes ago, theJ said: The team is set up for a 4-3. I don't want anything to do with a coordinator that forces a transition to a 3-4 just because that's the system he knows how to coach. A good coach adapts his system to the players. That being said, i'd be good with Fangio because i don't think he's going to force anything. The thing is there are so many hybrid, nickel, etc... formations these days that it really doesn't matter IMO if it's a quality coordinator which Fangio is (as you stated). I think Marvin and Fangio together (assuming they get along), can build a good defense using both 4-3 and 3-4 sets. Like when Geno needs a breather instead of doing a 4-3 with Sims/Billings/Glasgow, switch to a 3-4 set... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HangOnSloopy Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 So, Guenther leaves and we assume he's headed for Oakland. Now we try to hire Austin (who I'm all for), and Oakland is trying to hire him as well? Good grief! Guenther will probably end up in Washington and well be on the search. Del Rio still a possibility?

INbengalfan Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Great news. Solid hiring. Best of all, we don't have to have a major overhaul at LB. Still want Roquan or Evans tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 We still need more talent at LB though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burfict, Vigil, and Jordan Evans isn't a bad 3. Evans played well in the Ravens game until he got hurt. After he went out is when the Ravens really started moving the ball on us. I'm fine with adding more depth or taking a stud like Roquan if he's on the board. But if Roquan isn't there, we honestly should address bigger needs like OL in the first. I'd hate to pass up on Quintin Nelson, Orlando Brown, Connor Williams, or heck even Billy Price for a LB that's not Roquan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying take a LB in rd 1 no matter what, just that I'm not confident in Vigil as a starter. Maybe he develops more and surprises me, but I wasn't all that impressed with him this year. I think Evans has more upside still and played pretty solid this year. If good value is there at LB in rd 2 or rd 3, then I think it'd be a good fit.

ochocinco4pres Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Vigil is solid, but not a starting LB on a SB team IMO. An ok 3rd LB or Vinny Rey role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He absolutely can be. There's been a lot of bad #3 LBs on Superbowl teams. Very few teams actually have 3 good LBs outside of say the Seahawks...

I'm convinced it has more to do with the defensive scheme. It's the bend but don't break, don't allow anything over our heads defense. They want players to catch the ball before the sticks and tackle. I would rather the team work on their tackling this offseason, because it was atrocious this year.

If Burfict is on the field with Vigil, he plays well. So we just need to keep Burfict healthy and un-suspended... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Nix Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 As much as I would love to get a Roquan Smith, i don’t known if I could watch another season lost due to poor oline play. This team better be doing everything it can to fix that this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
