The Denver Broncos defense will be getting a facelift this off-season with Wade Phillips arriving as defensive coordinator.

The main thing it means for the Broncos is a switch back to the 3-4 after running a 4-3 during John Fox's four-year run as head coach.

It means that DeMarcus Ware, who played end last season, will stand up as an edge rusher in 3-4 with Von Miller on the other side of him.

"I think this will be a good scheme; it gives the outside guys, the two outside linebackers in Ware and Miller a real chance to get after the passer, then obviously we go to the sub package when you get into three wide receiver sets and stuff and you’ll have two defensive linemen inside, also. But they’ll be pretty familiar, really, with this defense,” Phillips told the Broncos website.
