                        Alot of the Ravens' veterans are a little nervous these days. They have a new coach with a different style, and such distinguished players as quarterback Steve McNair and offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden have recently retired.&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/baltimoresun/sports/bal-columnist-preston-rss2/~4/316746496" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

                        The first time I met Don Zimmerman was in 1987 when he was the coach at Johns Hopkins. He was as intense then as he is now. He would leave a trail after the game from pacing the sideline. He would run a fast break with his team going down the field.&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/baltimoresun/sports/bal-columnist-preston-rss2/~4/309432340" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>
