Lake Forest, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - Former San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Vic Fangio is joining the Chicago Bears in the same role, the team announced Tuesday. Fangio, the architect of one of the NFLs premier defenses during a four-year run in San Francisco, bolted the 49ers after being passed over in favor of defensive line coach Jim Tomsula to become Jim Harbaughs successor as the teams head coach. The longtime NFL assistant instead joins the staff of newly named Bears head coach John Fox, where Fangio will be in charge of rebuilding a defense that was one of the leagues most porous units Chicago has ranked 30th overall in total defense in each of the past two seasons, while the 442 points the Bears allowed in 2014 were surpassed only by Oakland for the most in the league. Chicago finished 30th in scoring defense the previous year. In contrast, the 49ers ranked in the top five in total defense in each of Fangios four years at the helm, and were one of only three teams to record 25 or more takeaways in each of the last three seasons. San Francisco also finished second, second and third in scoring defense from 2011-13 before ending 10th in that category this past year. Those numbers helped the Niners reach the NFC Championship Game in three straight seasons from 2011-13, as well as an appearance in Super Bowl XLVII. The 56-year-old Fangio also served as the defensive coordinator for Indianapolis (1999-2001) and Houston (2002-05) and will entering his 29th season as an NFL assistant. Additionally, he was the defensive coordinator under Harbaugh at Stanford in 2010, helping the Cardinal to a 12-1 record and a final ranking of fourth in the Associated Press Top 25.

Custom Sacramento Kings Jerseys .com) - The Carolina Hurricanes placed defenseman John-Michael Liles on injured reserve Tuesday. Justin Jackson Jersey . Leave it to Matt Niskanen, the newly proclaimed Eddie Haskell of the Washington Capitals.OAKLAND, Calif. - His voice can be heard everywhere the Golden State Warriors go.During games, he antagonizes opponents and challenges teammates. In the huddle, he shouts at coaches one moment and shares a laugh with them the next. And in practice, he barks at individuals not hustling and respects only those who earn it.Anybody listening to Draymond Green quickly learns this is the way he approaches everything in life. Love him or hate him, its that all-out energy and no-nonsense attitude that has carried him from an overlooked second-round pick to one of the most important players on the NBAs best team.One thing Ive always been taught: youre not going to shoot great every night, you may have some turnovers some nights, but one thing you can always do is bring effort, Green said. No matter what, no matter how I feel, always bring effort.While streaky shooters Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are the stars, Green is the spark for everything else Golden State (31-5) needs.Warriors coach Steve Kerr has called Green the teams heartbeat, vocal leader and just about every other sports cliche that the former TNT broadcaster typically avoids. He has simply run out of ways to describe Green, whom Kerr first became enamoured with while watching a Warriors game on television.It came right through the screen, Kerr said. He was the heart and soul of the team.In his first two years with the Warriors, Green provided key minutes off the bench and became a favourite of former coach Mark Jackson. But it wasnt until two-time All-Star power forward David Lee missed 24 of the first 25 games this season with a strained left hamstring that Green got a chance to win the starting job.Green enters Friday nights game at Oklahoma City averaging 11.8 points, eight rebounds and 3.8 assists.The 6-foot-7, 230-pound forward has played bigger than his size, giving Golden State the defensive force it has been missing alongside centre Andrew Bogut. He has stretched the floor with an improved 3-point shot, and those around him rave about intangibles that dont show up on stat sheets.Greens game is generated by the same method that helped him win two state titles at Saginaw High School (Saginaw, Michigan), reach two Final Fours at Michigan State and take home Big Ten Player of the Year honours as a senior. Its the same blueprint that has made him a contender for the NBAs Most Improved Player award andd All-Defensive team.ddddddddddddreen just outworks people — and lets them know about it.He has jawed with LeBron James, exchanged words with Kevin Garnett and mixed it up with Blake Griffin. His scrappy play and feisty attitude can be so jarring, teammates say, that some opponents dont like to play against him.Thereve been numerous guys that say their strengths are the post game, but they dont want to post him up. They end up floating to the perimeter, or vice versa, because hes just annoying defensively, Bogut said.What most people dont see is Greens pride and passion is not exclusive to NBA games.During a recent team scrimmage, for instance, Green struggled in the first contest. He increased his intensity — and trash-talk — in the second scrimmage, and better results followed.He wants you to engage back with him. Youre getting off your game. Its almost like a fuel for him, Bogut said.Last weekend, Green accompanied Curry and his family to Seattle for an NFL playoff game between Currys hometown Carolina Panthers and the Seahawks. At one point, Curry said a foul-mouthed Seahawks fan below the groups luxury suite lost his mind for a second shouting at Currys wife and mother.Green decided to settle the dispute himself. Armed with the only ammunition he had, Green chucked grapes at the fan — who immediately got quiet.Hes Draymond on and off the court, Curry said, chuckling.But sometimes Greens emotions go too far.He has had heated exchanges with teammates in practice and a few expletive-laced confrontations with Kerr during games, which both attribute to their competitive nature. Each time, Green has apologized to Kerr immediately.Thats why I love Draymond, Kerr said.Green has become such a key piece that the Warriors — the same team that passed on him twice in the 2012 draft, when they selected Harrison Barnes seventh, Festus Ezeli 30th and Green 35th — will likely be heading into the luxury tax next season just to keep him.Green, who is making a little more than $900,000 in the final year of his rookie contract, could be due a raise north of $10 million annually this summer. As a restricted free agent, the Warriors would be able to match any offer he receives.Of course, Greens market value is difficult to measure. The Warriors just know his versatility has been invaluable to them.___Antonio Gonzalez can be reached at: www.twitter.com/agonzalezAP Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
