Of course, the key is still having coaches who can mix up the D calls to confuse the offenses. Fangio seems to be that type of guy.

I just wonder if we will have time to be prepared enough for "mixing it up". Whether a 3-4 or not, I think Fangio may have to keep things relatively simple at first... or we could end up back in the Nolan days of confusing our own players instead of opposing offenses.

With no play book out to the D and no D Alex practices, that is likely. I'm hoping that Fangio can take the Manusky/Nolan/Singletary play book and tweak it into his own so the players don't have to learn a whole new language. That might not be possible or may be counterproductive in the long run...just a thought.

No, I don't think this is an option. That's crossing over to a large .

Fangio will have enough of his own book to work from, but may just need to limit it until they are ready to add bits at a time.
