New Ravens coach John Harbaugh isn't trying to start any trouble, but he is not going to run from it, either. He wants to develop a new work ethic and culture for the Ravens, a project that might take a year or two. But until then, the Ravens should adhere to the new boss' rules because Harbaugh won't back down. He can't because if he does, he'll lose control early. And he won't because of his ...

People are always looking to see which guy will make the biggest impact on his new team.
