Jennings: Fangio 'a very smart coach'

In their short time together, Bears cornerback Tim Jennings has quickly become a big fan of first-year defensive coordinator Vic Fangio.

Fangio is entering his 29th season as an NFL assistant and 16th as a defensive coordinator following stints with the Panthers (1995-98), Texans (2002-05) and 49ers (2011-14).

"He puts guys in positions to make plays," Jennings said. "We're looking forward to him putting us in the right position. He's a very smart coach. The team that we play is going to be different every week and he's going to be able to strategize.
