organization that was built on competition, positive reinforcement and dedicated connections with his players.
Williams, who was traded to the Seahawks mid-season last year from the New York Giants, certainly didn’t have nearly as much experience under Carroll as, say, Tyler Lockett, Jarran Reed or DK Metcalf, but he did get a taste of the legendary Seattle coach’s expectations. “It’s always an adjustment when you’ve had two different head coaches, honestly, but also, their styles were pretty different,” Williams added. “I only had Pete Carroll for not too long, so it’s hard for me to compare because I was only with him for eight weeks. We’re trying to hold guys accountable this year. We’re trying to make sure everyone rises to that level.”
