Fox's Bears switching to 3-4 defense

Being reported by Gantt on PFT.

Makes sense, given that they hired Vic Fangio to run the D. Not what you'd expect from John Fox though, as he's always been a 4-3 guy.

Could be wrong, but I don't offhand recall the Bears ever running a 3-4 in the past.

 

If you have Fangio running your defence you'd be best off just letting him choose the system. Guy is legit.

Fox is 60 and had heart surgery a few years ago.  He's probably nothing more than an overseer right now.  Less stress.

 

The Bears have so much talent on their roster, especially the offense.  They don't need Fox to be too hands on.  Trestman didn't have the respect of the players.  Fox is a coach that commands respect because of his reputation of a "player's coach" and his past success.  I expect them to be pretty damn good next year.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
    • Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
