Sorry Memorial weekend had me pulling my hair out lol.
He does have packages that have a true 0T Nose Tackle or a crack nose like his Tite front & Penny front, but it’s more personnel based than it is straight down and distance. Even then Fangio will still opt to use his Nickel fronts against certain teams that use 12/21 personnel, its just a game by game thing really. The problem with running his 5-2 Tite front & 5-1 Penny front is it limits the amount of plays at his disposal to utilize compared to his nickel fronts, which is why he actually does try to stay in his Nickel or Dime fronts most of the time.

These pictures show the playcalls available in each front and you can see just how much more opens up in his Nickel sub package.

The 2-4-5 Personnel is his Nickel fronts, while 3-4-4 is his 5-2 Tite front and 2-3-6 is his Dime fronts. You can see 70% of the time he’s either operating out if Nickel or Dime compared to only 22% in his Tite front. Keep in mind that under Flores/Boyer, Miami also utilized a 5-2 Bear front that operates similar to Fangio’s Tite front with true 3 techniques instead of 4is, and they ran it a lot more, and in that bear front Raekwon Davis has been that 0T Nose for them and finished with one of the best run defenses in the league last year. So I think Fangio is fine with rolling with Raekwon Davis playing in that role another year and in a reduced role since he’ll play his Tite front less than Miami played their Bear front these past few years.
i don’t think Fangios defense is inherently vulnerable to anything super specific like that, staying in sub fronts and keeping a 2 hi pre-snap presentation opens up his entire playbook and allows Fangio to utilize his full toolbox to tackle anything that an offense throws at him. The question would be does Fangio have the horses to run his defense how he wants to, and I think he’s been given the most loaded defense he’s ever had before. Sieler & Wilkins stealing gaps in the interior, David Long ball fitting at the 2nd level, and Holland & Jones fitting late, not to mention the entire secondary is stacked.
You can’t call every play at once though, so it’d have to be an offensive playcaller that can out adjust Fangio, and Fangio’s one of the best to ever do it.
