TEMPE, Ariz. - Apparently every NFL team with a head coaching vacancy wants to talk to Arizona Cardinals defensive co-ordinator Todd Bowles.Thats what my coaches tell me, Bowles said after Wednesdays practice, but me and coach (Bruce) Arians talked about it. Well deal with it next week as opposed to this week.Various reports have Bowles drawing interest from San Francisco, Chicago, Atlanta, the New York Jets and Oakland.You dont have time to be flattered, Bowles said, because you dont think about it because you have games to play.He said his only concern is getting his defence ready for Saturdays wild card playoff game at Carolina.Because the Cardinals are in the wild card, teams cant interview Bowles until next week.Weve talked about it, Arians said. This week is hands off anyways.Arians said he told Bowles, Next week, when youre preparing for the game, set aside a time that you want to pick a team or which teams you want to talk to.And Im all for it, Arians said. He deserves it and hes earned the right, but its not going to affect his focus on next weeks game.If Arizona has a next weeks game.The Cardinals (11-5), who probably will start third-stringer Ryan Lindley at quarterback, are 5 1/2-point underdogs to the Panthers (7-8-1) and are coming off their two worst defensive performances of the season.The last two games weve missed an enormous amount of tackles, Bowles said. Weve addressed that. We always do, and the guys have addressed that. Weve just got to get them down. Its want-to and weve got to gang tackle. It cant be just one guy. Everybodys got to get to the ball.Until the last two games, Arizonas defence was the teams backbone and among the NFLs leaders in run defence. But the Cardinals had all kinds of trouble against mobile quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick. Now they face another athletic one in Cam Newton, who is bigger and stronger than the other two.Hes a tight end, hes a quarterback and hes a tailback, Bowles said.Arizonas defensive players know they have to return to their early-season form, when the team got off to a 9-1 start before losing four of its last six games.Weve just got to get back to what got us here, cornerback Patrick Peterson said. ... Weve just got to tackle more viciously.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Supply China Jerseys .
