The veteran Eagles defensive coordinator likes to throw a lot at his players early and whittle things down from there.
PHILADELPHIA - It’s the kind of unfiltered honesty only a 40-year coaching veteran with the reputation of Vic Fangio could deliver with little fear of blowback.
That’s not the typical way things go for coaches around the NFL, according to veteran linebacker Devin White, who excelled in his introduction to the Fangio way this spring. Mitchell and DeJean have played multiple positions in the spring as Fangio started installing his defense, the former at outside cornerback and pseudo-linebacker in a dime package. And the latter as a slot and outside CB.
"It's been good. I'm just trying to take in and learn different things right now, inside and outside,” DeJean said. “I don't have a problem with having a lot on my plate. I'm here to play football and learn football. The more positions I can learn I feel like it helps me out on the field when I'm at one of those positions. You know, knowing what those other positions are doing and where I can get my help.
