I noted when WIM posted the comments from Hoke that it was nothing more than coachspeak and shouldn't be taken seriously one way or the other.  I mean, it could be that Hoke is trying to temper expectations, and it could be that Hoke is trying to motivate his players, but it could also be that he is trying to keep them focused and prevent them from getting complacent.

Judging by the players' quotes, they seem to be paying attention and are on the same page re: lack of quality in defense. Who knows. But I think it's somewhat odd.
