In his first year as defensive coordinator of the Ravens, Wink Martindale is looking to learn from his first experience in that job with Denver in 2010 and put his aggressive coaching style to work.

Fan discontent over the lack of changes on John Harbaugh's coaching staff is understandable. But that doesn't mean Don "Wink" Martindale shouldn't get a clean slate.

The Ravens linebackers coach for the past six years will succeed Dean Pees.

When the New England Patriots offense first took the field against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, they did so without their leading receiver from their previous five seasons.
