Competing at this level for a long period of time requires a certain mental makeup. For all their differences, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll and former franchise quarterback Russell Wilson had that one essential element in common: an unfailing irrational confidence occasionally spilling over into toxic positivity.

As you might expect, Caroll isn’t one of them. Speaking with reporters after yesterday’s practice, Caroll insisted he’s very excited about these Seahawks and his expectations are very high.
