The Arizona Cardinals defensive scheme now employs four up front and should be exciting to watch

The defensive line for the Arizona Cardinals have some familiar faces and some new faces.  The even have a new face on the line that is a familiar one.

With the new defensive scheme from 3-4 to a 4-3, the defensive line will have a new look.  Instead of someone like Chandler Jones lining up from the linebacker position he now lines up at defensive end.

The same is to be said for Markus Golden, for whenever he is able to return to the field.  It will be very exciting to see them both line up closer to the opposing quarterback now.

Some still don’t believe the Cardinals will be much different in rushing the passer this season.  Steve Wilks was a defensive coordinator, so I am going to trust he knows what he is doing, especially when it comes to the defense.

Al Holcomb, the defensive coordinator and assistant defensive line coaches Chris Achuff and Don Johnson should have the Cardinals in good hands.  Now, just stay healthy.
