Standing pat was not the best thing to do. It doesn't mean that you're saying last year's team couldn't win it. What it means is, you think there might be a better way to go.

We don't care if it's a young guy or old guy, we are looking for the group who is the best fit. But these veteran guys are smart, tough, they have experience.

You never want one of your best players to go down with an injury, but it's also a part of the game.

You never want one of your best players going down with an injury. It's all also part of the game. We're already dealing with three veteran guys out, now a fourth veteran guy out, so some of these young guys are going to have to step up and play.
