Terrell Suggs knows expectations are high for the Ravens' defense this season, but the veteran linebacker said the team can't get caught up in the hype.
"What's hype if you don't live up to it?" Suggs said at the team's training facility July 26 when veterans reported for training camp. " … You don't want all of this anticipation for it to just be 'eh.' You want to be great. I think everything we do, from the offseason program up until we walk out on the field in Week 1, we need to be creating our own legacy. We don't need to worry about hype, but more making our own mark."
Suggs, who has been a key member of some outstanding Ravens defenses during the years, also said this season's unit needs to focus on "trying to get out of the shadow of the past great Ravens defenses and make something our own."
