When he was an outside linebacker, Rob Ninkovich could spend more time covering receivers. He even intercepted two passes in two different games.
He'd rather get sacks, and he has a better chance now that the New England Patriots have shifted him to his college position of defensive end.
Playing on the line reduces Ninkovich's pass coverage responsibilities. He can focus...

The Patriots aren't happy with their offense -- that's a bit of a surprise. In a game featuring two of the NFL's most high-powered offenses, and two of it's all-time great quarterbacks, suffice to say a 7-6 victory is not the way New England probably envisioned their preseason opener against the New Orleans Saints to pan out. Granted it was just the preseason and...

On a defense full of unfamiliar faces, Vince Wilfork is the one constant.
The burly 325-pound nose tackle has gone from a first-round pick to a four-time Pro Bowler while playing alongside some all-time greats.
However, as he enters his ninth year with the Patriots, it’s clear there’s a youth movement along the defensive front.
Chalk that up as welcomed...
