last year at this time fans were wondering what to expect from joe flacco and didn't expect the ravens to make the playoffs. this year, expectations are higher. now while the offense is looking sharp, the ravens reputation still rests on the defense. >> last year's defense is where it should be and that's last year. now we have to pay respect to gates that are here, that are working to take us to the next level. so we're ready for this year and hopefully we can do some great things. >> we have a core ever guys dedicated to each other. and any time you have that type of chemistry inside, it's almost impossible not to come back and have the same defense. and that's why the defense has been successful year in and year out doing the things we've been able to do so well. >> so what are you expecting this season from the ravens and what are the teams expectations? abc 2 news jamie cost ella gives us a preview. >> coming out of the brian billick era, ravens fans didn't expect much. steve mcnair retired, kyle boller got hurt, troy smith got sick and that pushed the starting job to joe flacco.
