Speaking on defense...

Todd Bowles had a second interview and met with the media today.  Here's a snippet posted by Killer over at MLive...

Bowles also said that he would like to change Detroit's defense from a 4-3 scheme to a 3-4 alignment.

"Defensively, I've come from a 3-4 scheme -- I've been in a 4-3 scheme -- you want to have the personnel to fit what you do,'' Bowles said. "If you don't, you can have a hybrid version of a 4-3 until you can get a 3-4 scheme in place. I've coached in the 4-3, too, so if Ernie (Sims) or (Cliff) Avril don't fit a 3-4, we'll play a 4-3.

"I'll be working toward (a 3-4) as long as I have the personnel.''

Music to my ears.  I love the 3-4 defense.
