Leonard Williams: "It's Tough To Come Up Short" · Seahawks Press Pass

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: So it's up what's strong through your mind better than
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: uh pretty much. You know, it's tough to lose a
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: tight game like that. There's definitely some some highlight moments
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: that we had and that you know, we showed as
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: a team. Uh, it was a hard football game against
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: a really good team, and uh, it's just tough to
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: come up short in the game. With that, it's an
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: offense or familiar with just what what makes Dak tough?
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Where he's going? What's that I said, you're familiar with
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: that offense off So what makes Dack so difficult? What
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: he's playing? Well? Uh, I mean, I think he's a
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: great quarterback. He's one of the premier quarterbacks in this
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: league for sure. You know, he's been getting the ball
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: out really fast sometimes I don't know the first and
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: second down, So it's like hard to get a pass
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: rush against him, even though I feel like we did
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: a pretty decent job of getting after him up front.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: And then he's also just a big guy, so sometimes
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: he breaks tackles and can run the ball, especially in
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the red zone they have like QB draws and stuff
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: like that. Uh, So I think he's just a dual
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: threat guy and you just you just have to pay
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: attention to anything you can do. How do you assess
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the schame letter to stop him four times in the
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: personal that you do form your how do you uh
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the way I sas it? I mean, I feel like
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: we we played great football. You know, it sucks to
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: come up short cause you know, like I heard, you
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: know just say, the most important thing is winning. So
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: but overall, I feel like the penalties, you know, really
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: screwed us this game. Over two hundred yards and penalties
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: is is really tough to overcome. You know, I don't
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: care how good of a football you're playing. If you
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: give up that much yards and penalties, it's gonna be
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: uh hard to climb out of that. So I think
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: we just need to clean up like small details in
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: that area and uh and just finished. When we have
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the chance, you just scratch out difficultes to be a
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: defensive player in the NFL today. Appreciated. Hm, that's good question.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: That's a great question. Man. I've already got un fine
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: uh and tried to fight a fine earlier in this
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: year against something you know they definitely protect. Uh. You
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: know guys that score the score, you know, they they
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: really tailor the game to the fans sometimes where you know,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: people want to see the offense a lot of times,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and uh, they protect the quarterback, they protect the receivers
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: and and things like that, so we have to be
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: extra careful on defense and uh, you know, but at
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: the same time, we don't make the rules, you know,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: and uh, we just gotta live by. Where's the frustration
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: level at now, though, because this has happened long games
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: down a road and you Knowice have had a bunch
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: of stops that just evaporated because stuff's going on, the extracurriculars,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: getting the penalties. Yeah, I mean it's frustrating, especially for
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: me being a new guy on this team, because, uh,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: you know, since I got here, I just see, you know,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: it's one of the most talented teams I've been a
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: part of. And you know, there's so many opportunities, uh,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: in in every match that we've been in since I've
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: been here, for us to to finish the game. And
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: uh there's just something small that's lacking right now that
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: we can tighten up and and finish these close games.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Cause I feel like we have all the talent in
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the world. The talent's there, Uh, the one two is there.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: It's not like guys are slacking through throughout the week,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: like guys are working hard and all that type of stuff,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: and we had the camaraderie and all those things. I
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: think they're just like very small things that we just
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: need to clean up on. What was Peak's mess with
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: you guys about on Uh pretty much? You know what
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: me and Gino just said that, uh, you know, there's
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: no moral victories obviously, but uh, you know, he feels like,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: you know, we we fought so hard in this game
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: that he feels like we deserve to win this game.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: And uh he mentioned the penalties and saying that, you know,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: we can't have that, and uh, you know, I I
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: believe Jay Raid spoke up after after Pete and and
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: mentioned that, you know, obviously we lost and we want
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: to win. That's what this game is about. But at
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the same time, I think we we did some good
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: things this game that that we can build off of
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: and and go forward and not hang our heads down.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: You and the guys likes to real yup
