    I'm very, very happy for Matt, and that is no secret. It's a good story to me because he overcame some adversity at the beginning of his career, and he played through some injuries.

    If I had a formula for bypassing trouble, I would not pass it round. Trouble creates a capacity to handle it. I don't embrace trouble; that's as bad as treating it as an enemy. But I do say meet it as a friend, for you'll see a lot of it and had better be on speaking terms with it.

    To be counted out, and for our team to pretty much come together as we have against all the adversity, doubters, injuries ... we just worked hard every day. I couldn't be happier for my guys. We're a team. We're a family. We're sticking together.

    When you're ahead in the game, or you're not a long ways behind, you can stay with your game plan. I'm anxious to see how we respond if the tables are turned and we're not ahead.
