OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- At last year's "State of the Ravens," owner Steve Bisciotti acknowledged the increased scrutiny from his fan base, saying, "the pitchforks are out."
The question this year: Will Bisciotti bring a mental-pronged tool of his own?
Bisciotti will hold his much-anticipated annual address Friday at 1:30 p.m. The Ravens are dealing with three straight non-playoff seasons, a series of disappointing drafts and a concerning number of empty seats at M&T Bank Stadium.
Breaking with tradition, Bisciotti won't be joined at the "State of the Ravens" by general manager Ozzie Newsome, team president Dick Cass and coach John Harbaugh.
