“Coach McAdoo has always been the guy that I've held dear to my heart, ...” — Geno Smith Quote

Coach McAdoo has always been the guy that I've held dear to my heart, and we've always stayed in contact.

I just continue to work hard, continue to stay focused.

You tell me I made the Pro Bowl? I'm going to try to make 10 Pro Bowls. You tell me we had a 'nice' season? I'm going to follow it up with a great season. That's just always my mentality with things - I'm always trying to get better.

Obviously, just getting a chance to compete, being out there with my teammates, being with the Seahawks - a great organization. It's just been a lot of fun.

It was always a dream of mine since I was a kid to be in those situations, to take my team down to get a last-second field goal or touchdown.

If you can relate to what another person is going through while giving their experience room to be its own discrete thing, you're probably a crackerjack emergency contact.

It is not what we learn in conversation that enriches us. It is the elation that comes of swift contact with tingling currents of thought.

I've always believed that as an artist, as a writer, you need a lot of contact with other people to make your art good.

Stand-up and sketch and improv - that's the most direct contact you can have with somebody, making them laugh. I like that. I like the intimacy.

In general, I like to always be in contact with the ball.
