[Arrington hopes to be a factor, to help the NFL's third-ranked defense from last season soar even higher. But rather then feed into the hype with his trademark bold and brash comments, he is preaching restraint.] My sense is not to buy into all of that, ... If we buy into it, we're kind of setting ourselves up. I don't want to be a part of a quote that said that we were going to be special this year. I think we've got the makings of a great unit, and that could make for a pretty interesting season, but we'll see what happens.
