Vic Fangio on Bears' injuries: Vic Fangio on Bears' injuries: 'A good carpenter never blames his tools'
By: Lorin Cox | 40 minutes ago
The Chicago Bears’ defense hardly had the opportunity to show what it could do with a fully healthy squad this season. Even so, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio doesn’t want to use injuries or inexperience as an excuse for any shortcomings his group has faced.
“A good carpenter never blames his tools,” Fangio told reporters Thursday. “He just finds a way to get the thing built.”
Five of the Bears’ Week 1 starters on defense are on injured reserve as Willie Young, Leonard Floyd, Jerrell Freeman, Quintin Demps and Mitch Unrein have all gone down.
Some of their replacements have played very well when called to action, but clearly, the season has not been ideal for Fangio from a personnel standpoint.
He’s still produced a defense that almost single-handedly beat the Carolina Panthers and kept the offense in a number of other close games, but there’s always room for the carpenter to build an even stronger unit.
