12s, we were in the presence of greatness today. A front seven player playing defense tackle dominated and took over a game. This is stuff that doesn't happen every week, and sure hasn't happened to Seahawks for a long time, Clowney vs 9ers was that last one.

Big Cat shall be accepted as Leo the Great from now on.

What’s going to be awesome is him and Murphy for the next couple of years as Murphy grows into his roll too. This defense if it’s. Ot already is going to be elite

Knew he'd make a big impact when we signed him, but I had no idea he'd leave a crater in the field.

Pete Carroll made a lot of trades that didn't work out, but the Leonard Williams trade was worth the money.

Thank you Pete. Oh yes, Schneider too.

In the last two weeks, Williams has recorded 4.5 sacks, six TFL’s, two pass deflections, six QB hits, one interception returned for a TD and he blocked a PAT.

Worth the trade
Also, he has a sack that didn't count because of the facemask. And was VERY close to forcing Cryler into that fumble returned for what would been a TD.

JS gets a lot of crap, and much of it is justified.
But..........Big Cat, Jones and Love.........all amazing additions. And drafting Spoon instead of Carter. A lot of winning.

Cortez might have something to say about that.
I didn't get to see Cortez play very often. I was living on the east coast during that period and seeing the Seahawks was rare. So my knowledge of Cortez is mostly something like a legend. If he played better than Williams during this period it most have been glorious.

Cortez is an all-time great. Not just because he was a Hawk. He constantly got double teamed, and it didn't matter. He was dominant.
