Mike Macdonald: "Leonard Williams Is Playing At An Elite Level" | Postgame Press Conference- Week 13

[@ExaltedSeahawksFan]

Leonard Williams = Defensive Player Of The Year

[@carlsanders2766]

Absolutely! He's an absolute game-wrecker.

[@huynhydpooh1349]

I second that!

[@alanmazzucchelli9013]

17 miles an HR for a player that big without running out gas on a 99 yard sprint. EMAZING

[@spockb1186]

​@alanmazzucchelli9013 and he weights over 300 pounds

[@shilohrdavis]

I like him but that’s a reach

[@f4fake22]

Longest pick six in NFL history for a 300+ lb player. Williams is unreal

[@spockb1186]

He's a big racehorse without a doubt

[@Thebepob]

Should be on a plaque somewhere in the stadium

[@huckbee7559]

I love how MacDonald is so careful not to throw his players under the bus! He seems to be a class act. GO HAWkS!!

[@alanmazzucchelli9013]

He has good things to say about his players just like Pete.

[@jaknap1]

The specials team coach needs to be fired and #1 needs to be cut and leave him in NY. Two fumbles by #1 is unacceptable.

[@jaknap1]

@@EFN_Hawks really? Those mistakes will cost you a win against a better team. Lucky that they were playing the Jets. ST coach should be fired. Allowed 99 yard kick return and 3 fumbles. Unbelievable. I don’t accept mediocrity.

[@daytimerocker3808]

1st half looked like a middle school game. our defense looked a lot better in the 2nd half but our offense absolutely has to get better to have any chance in the playoffs

[@benthomas782]

Agreed. Even the first half the defense was put in a tough position for both TDs and then shut out the Jets in the second half. Offense just can't finish drives. Game should have been out of site

[@nikolaigal3957]

defence was fine all game offence was not though, special teams was horrific

[@jeremyascencio5797]

Abe lucas just needs more time to get better. Our offense really has to establish a run game early on as well :/

[@roscoejenkiinz5893]

Coach Mac has the defense absolutely flying around, excited to see how they can continue to build on each win. Hopefully the offense can find its footing a bit.

[@dutchmeister1]

you can not tell me that you can’t find atleast 10 players on D3 level football teams better than Shenault and Dee Williams

I want Mac to be our coach for the next 20 years. I trust him completely. No matter the roster, he seems like the type of guy whose bare minimum is like a 8 win team. Gonna have a Mike Tomlin like career.

[@Missunderstood190]

All I want to know is where are all the doubters. Cardinals and greenbay are up tough next two weeks but as the seahawks momentum keeps on building watch out.

[@ssjgoat2786]

those are just trash fans that barley understand the sport. they are also crybabys and its because we have really bad hawks fans with youtube channel representing the hawks such as brandon nelson with his mopiong and especially that clown rob stanton . rob stanton is the most negative hawkls fan out there and sadly too many hawks fan like listening to him and it shows by how they talk about the hawks and rob blocked me cause i owned him in a debate and he threw a tantrum and called me a waffle because i was right

Our kick return guy sucks! This isn’t the first time he’s fumbled. Why is he even still on the team?!

[@boeklo1251]

Should have been gone after the first San Francisco game at the latest if you ask me. It's putting harbaugh's job on the line now.

[@Perfumery_by_Sabin]

Dee Williams and she quit both fumbled. Not sure who the 3rd one was on

[@sethford7642]

We definitely need a kick returner someone who is dynamic and can wait for it.....hold onto the ball

[@midwayadam1]

Looked to me like JSN was telling special teams coach to put him in. Agreed both guys have looked terrible returning kicks. Since week 1 vs Denver. Not calling fair catch and letting punts set us within the 5 yd line all game.

After the Jets ran back the kickoff, why didn’t we just kick into the end zone the rest of the time? Obviously we were having a hard time with our kickoff team.

[@MoeGreene5695]

I’m a Seahawk for life. But we will never go far in the playoffs with the offense playing like that.

[@420JackG]

It feels to me like the talent is (mostly) there, but we can't scheme our way into or out of a shopping bag. Any competent defense, or even just a defense with a talented player or two, exposes this in stunning detail.

[@Aetrack]

Let's see what this defense can do against the big boys. If we can keep teams to 21-24, we can beat anybody.

They need to take a page out of the Pete C era. Kick the ball for points. We don't have a line game. We should take points that are easy. We are gonna lose to better teams with that philosophy.

That was the right call Imo, we were at the half yard line.

@@stevebailey8890 Are you blind? We can't run the ball 1" with 3 downs when they know we are running...

Dee Williams playing at 3rd grade level.

[@davidtukesbrey1589]

First: Winners win. Second: a total system failure on KOR & KO-coverage. They've got a problem there & that's not breaking news & that's something that needs to be opened up in this week in either an open competition in practice or on the waiver wire. Dee Williams has been an unmitigated disaster literally all season and I'm stunned he's still being trotted out there; that's borderline Harbaugh malpractice. Third: Geno had a solid performance & didn't throw a pick; he was big & came up big when it mattered the most. And finally...Love & Big Cat have been playing absolutely out of their minds. In Macdonald I trust!

[@richardkosoff711]

We got lucky. We would have lost without the Jet’s penalties.

Mike Macdonald for the long run, swap out Grubb and Harbaugh.

[@Azriel884]

Is k9 struggling cause of the o line? Or is he just not seeing holes and hitting gaps?

[@trentwise3762]

It’s o-line. It’s terrible. Got to be a bottom 2 run line. K9 is breaking almost double as many tackles as anyone else in the league (a factual stat not something I’m making up randomly). He is doing all he can to get the yards he gets.

[@Perfumery_by_Sabin]

And pitching the ball backwards from shotgun and expecting him to run 8 yards to get back to the line of scrimmage. Setting ourselves up for failure with these ply calls

[@TrampConnoisseur]

@@trentwise3762the only reason I have a bit of faith Grubb. This line is the worst it’s been in years. You could put Ben Johnson out there as OC and he would still struggle to score with a line that bad

[@trentwise3762]

@ that’s what I think too. I don’t think we can fully grade him until we get an o-line that isn’t just cross. Like as much as people bash him there isn’t much he can do if the line can’t block. And despite his faults, I do think he is doing a great job with geno. Geno hasn’t gotten the TDs I think he should have, but I think geno is playing some of his best ball

[@tamra9867]

It’s not the Oline

[@spockb1186]

[@Perfumery_by_Sabin]

I mean. Special teams played like shit yeah. Rest of the team was pretty solid besides the usual run game assness

[@laurietongish7941]

Jets defense is formidable especially along the d-line which matches up well with our weakness which is o-line. I knew we would struggle to run the ball but we didn't turn it over on offense which is huge and only our special team blunders made this game close. Those special teams blunders can't happen against good teams or we lose the game.

[@patkern8672]

Still needs work on the offensive

[@RH1N082]

These reporters constantly asking, "how important is it...", "What does it tell you about this team...", etc., like the answer is gonna be anything but what's expected is getting real old. How these guys have jobs as reporters is beyond me. Feeling worse and worse for coach as week's go by that he has to constantly field these moronic questions. Many of which are the same throughout the week. I watch a lot of pre and post game pressers from other team's the Hawks go up against, and we by far have the dumbest coverage reporters I swear.
