Vic Fangio Deep Dive With Shawn Syed!

The Ringer
About this episode

Vic Fangio was named the defensive coordinator for the Eagles last Saturday following a mutual parting of ways with the Dolphins last week. With Fangio being given the DC title, we had to bring back one of our favorites, Shawn Syed, who authored "The Book of Fangio." Shawn breaks down the principles of Fangio’s defense and how he could completely revitalize the defense next season following a horrendous 2023 season.
