When owner Steve Bisciotti last spoke publicly about the state of his team, the Ravens were about seven weeks removed from the conclusion of a 10-6 season and a berth in the AFC divisional playoffs. Bisciotti graded the 2014 Ravens' performance as an "A," saying that the only thing preventing him from adding a plus to the grade was falling short of the Super Bowl.
The owner's tone will probably be far different Thursday afternoon as he, team president Dick Cass, general manager Ozzie Newsome and coach John Harbaugh hold the annual "State of the Ravens" address at the Under Armour Performance Center.
