People in and around the NFL won’t shut up these days about “Fangio guys” and “Fangio schemes.” Well, the real Vic Fangio is Philly’s new defensive coordinator, and he has a perfect foil for his concepts in the person of Cooper DeJean, who has legitimate skills at outside corner, slot, and STAR. With Toledo cornerback Quinyon Mitchell as the Eagles’ first-round pick, and Darius Slay as Mitchell’s bookend, I would expect Fangio to use DeJean as his situational “floater,” and play more man than expected as he did in Denver when he had Patrick Surtain II as his primary man in the secondary.
