Don ‘Wink’ Martindale, the Baltimore Ravens’ newest defensive coordinator, held his first press conference on Thursday.
When asked how he can turn this defense into a really great defense, Wink responded first by speaking of their emphasis on turnovers, and how the speed of the defense has helped contribute to the Ravens’ turnover success.
He also acknowledged the quality of the Pro Bowl players on the roster, and how they help with the takeaways, such as Terrell Suggs, C.J. Mosley, and Eric Weddle. He noted that Jimmy Smith was well on his way to a Pro Bowl as well until he had his injury.
