But the way that I grew up, my way of playing defense in my opinion is the best way. I think more than ever, it showed me — and I'm not blaming anything else — I'm responsible for what was on the field last year. But I'm also responsible for every team that I've ever coached, 100 percent. I expect to be really good. I think we'll be much improved from last year and time will tell."'
