The Green Bay Packers will keep their base defense as 3-4 after there was speculation that they would switch to a 4-3.

"We were not as multiple maybe (last) year as we've been in prior years really because of the stress of injuries on that unit so we want to get back to some of the things that we did very well in the past and make sure we're carrying enough packages to utilize all of our players," Mike McCarthy explained, per ESPN.com.

Dom Capers has been running the 3-4 defense for more than two decade and the best defensive players on the Packers are ideally suited for the scheme.
