Analysis: The Fangio Defense

Jesus had disciples, too. Some were worse than others. If Vic Fangio invited his to supper, the family photo would show Joe Barely sitting at the edge of the kids’ table.

Someone posted stats on twitter this past week stats on how DC's running the Fangio defense are doing this year. The only one doing really well is Fangio.

Fangio-style defenses by DVOA:

Dolphins: 13th
Rams: 21st
Eagles: 22nd
Panthers: 27th
Chargers: 28th
Packers: 29th

If your scheme needs a combination of Jalen Ramsey and Aaron Donald or Fangio himself to succeed, I bring you some bad news.

And this is what I said somewhere else. Some guys see things and understand them, others mimic success while not understanding why it was successful. If I told you that the key to a roulette payout was the bet minus 10%, that's easy to memorize. If you looked at the odds and understood the algebra behind it you would have an understanding.

Fangio understands defense. Barry memorizes concepts.
