Video: Russell Wilson on Seahawks’ mentality heading into home opener

In the video above, Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson talks to the media Thursday about how the team is approaching the home opener with an 0-2 record.

Below are additional quotes from Wilson’s press conference.

(On the first two weeks playing with Jimmy Graham) “Well first of all what needs to happen was we need to win. That’s the bottom line. Jimmy, and myself, and the rest of the guys on the team, we all want to win. That’s what it all comes down to. That’s the ultimate thing. Jimmy had a great first game, the second game we were looking for him. We had a couple penalties and a couple things happen when we were trying to get him the ball in those particular plays. That kind of took away from it. But, you look forward to it. Just the work that we put in every day, that’s what you get excited about and you know it’s going to translate over to the game. He’s a spectacular football player, we have so many guys on offense. It’s a great thing for me because I get to pick and choose. There’s so many guys I can throw the ball to, that’s what makes football fun.”

(On if he is grateful Kam Chancellor is back) “Yeah, to have Kam Chancellor back in there, it’s an awesome thing. He’s such a great team player in terms of how he helps lead the locker room, how he plays so physical, the things that he does on and off the field just in terms of the community. He’s a Virginia guy too so obviously I like that. But he’s a fighter. He’s a guy that’s going to make a difference in how he plays and how he presents the game. You have to plan for Kam Chancellor and our defense, and what they do and how physical they play, and he’s a huge part of that. In terms of legion of boom, he’s the guy that really brings the boom, same with the rest of the guys, but he’s the enforcer in that mentality, so that’s a good things to have him back.”
