Eagles DC Vic Fangio: A Defensive Mastermind
Vic Fangio, the Eagles' defensive coordinator, has brought a new level of intensity and strategy to the team. With his 40 years of experience, he has created a dominant defense that has Philadelphia on the cusp of a Super Bowl.
Fangio implemented box drills early in the offseason to improve the team's conditioning. He also increased the number and length of practices, which helped the team prepare for a demanding workload. The Eagles defense finished the regular season No. 1 in both total defense and passing defense, second in points per game and fourth in the red zone.
Fangio is a defensive savant who can identify opponent tells and decode offenses at a virtuoso level. He deploys a scheme he's spent decades cultivating and others around the league have long tried to duplicate, but is adaptive enough to evolve in real time if a game takes on a different form than anticipated.
His gifts have found a talented and responsive group of players, creating a force that has the Eagles on the cusp of a Super Bowl appearance. Fangio and his defense are hoping to dominate once again come Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Washington Commanders.
