Hello! I need urgent help! "You're too quick to lay the blame at your feet" - does it mean to bame yourself?

Thank you in advance
 
    • To lay the blame is to place it clearly where you believe it belongs - but in laying it, you are clearly dissociating yourself from it. So, to lay the blame at your (own) feet is a contradiction.
    Possible alternatives include:
    You are too quick to take/ accept the blame.
