Bowles sticking with 3-4 defense in Arizona
Todd Bowles - DT - Arizona Cardinals
Feb. 7, 2013 - 5:30 PM ET

New Cardinals DC Todd Bowles will employ a 3-4 base defense.

It's the same scheme the Cardinals used under former DC Ray Horton, and still the best fit for their current personnel. Bowles has pledged not to make "dramatic changes" to a unit that ranked 12th in yards against last season. That's probably a good idea for the first-year coordinator, who struggled to adjust on the fly as the Eagles' interim defensive boss in 2012.
