'"Last year was kind of a blow to the Ryan name," Ryan said. "I don't think there's any doubt about that. I don't know if I could stomach another year like last year, so I want to return to where I expect to be. Now when you look through the history of this game, I think we rank up there. Just because you have one off year it doesn't knock you all the way to the bottom like it has maybe been reported. I think we're OK. I think the Ryan name's pretty good, but do I want it to be where I think it needs to be, right there at the top when you think of defenses, you think of the Ryans? Absolutely. That's a pride thing. That's a family pride thing. That's certainly a big deal for me."'
