I wish I could say someone taught me my mental toughness, it would have been a lot less painful.

I've done it for a long time and I didn't expect it to be any different here.

I've always known that if I got the right opportunity and the right system, I could be successful.

I want to win. That's the most important thing.

I’m concerned that if one of those two areas doesn’t play up to par – if they give up some points or they can’t run the football – and it gets stuck on Russell Wilson’s shoulders…if he has to stay in the pocket against good defenses, read coverages, make the right plays, see the field, that’s where I worry.

The bottom line is about the technique. The little things. Fine-tuning what we have to do. No matter who is out there, maybe theyre not going to be as good, quote-unquote, as the starters may be, but the bottom line for us is to make sure were doing the right things.

I just always felt I'd be playing football in the NFL - or at least playing for a living.
