Neither Saleh or Fangios defense got us the W in the superbowl. The only DC that ran a defense similar to the what we run now shutdown a peyton manning lead offense, think that was the year he broke all those records too. Basically won the game and gave RW his chip. I really love fangio too, but I think with the players we have right now I'd rather give quinn a DC shot, but theyre really close.
That defense also had a prime Sherman, Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor, Bobby Wagner and a beastly pass rush. Give any number of defensive coaches that lineup and they'll be able to call a pretty damn good game too.
good game, but not sure if enough to win. Sher last year wasn't as athletic, but played coverage wise as well as hes played his whole career. The only edge I see is the safeties and maybe wagner>warner/alexander. I feel our pass rush was as beastly or more beastly than theirs so kinda evens out. So back to the whole point of this. If saleh were to leave, no one would want the guy than ran the defense with such similarities to why they were labeled the legion of boom when we have players that were brought in to replicate that. Instead want our dline coach that only seems to know dline stuff or zimmer's defense thats constantly been torched in the playoffs?
... anywho thats just my opinion and you guys are entitled to yours. Whatever the 49ers do I'll be there to ride the journey with them.
