This means nothing more than that the guys are buying into the new system, which is really the best we can hope for at this point.

That's kinda what I was trying to say. Part of me thinks he said what he said because he wasn't going to say, Yeah I think we're gonna be mildly good to decent this year, it's gonna take some time to learn Zorn's system. He didn't want to be seen as unoptimistic on t.v., which nearly all players don't, I don't think I've ever seen an interview where a guy sounded downcast about his team's fortunes before training camp even starts. And it is a good thing that he and hopefully the team are buying into Zorn's system.
