Will coaching ties impact Seattle Seahawks' matchup vs. Dolphins?

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald and Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver spent the past two seasons working together on the Baltimore Ravens’ staff.

Macdonald was the Ravens’ defensive coordinator, while Weaver doubled as an assistant head coach and the defensive line coach. During their two seasons together, Baltimore ranked third in scoring defense in 2022 and first in 2023.
On Sunday afternoon, they will be on opposite sidelines. Macdonald and Weaver will be the two defensive play-callers for a Week 3 clash between the Seahawks and Dolphins at Lumen Field.
Macdonald said that while there are some similarities between their schemes, Weaver’s defense in Miami isn’t just a carbon copy of his cutting-edge scheme.
“This is the Miami Dolphins’ defense, led by Anthony Weaver,” Macdonald said during his press conference on Wednesday. “I think they’re doing a really great job. A lot of respect for those guys and the coaches on that staff, and then obviously they’ve got some really good players too. There’s a lot of concepts that you see that are similar to what we do and things that we’ve installed here, but no, it’s their defense.”
During Thursday’s edition of Brock and Salk on Seattle Sports, former NFL quarterback Brock Huard was asked if the familiarity between Macdonald and Weaver will impact the matchup.
“I think it does,” Huard said. “I think it helps (Seahawks quarterback) Geno Smith. As he said, it’s not a carbon copy. You’re not running the exact same thing out there, but (knowing) the base principles … it’s gonna help Geno.
“Now, both sides are gonna probably have to mix (it up),” Huard added. “(Miami quarterback) Skylar Thompson on the other side, he knows some of the base principles within this scheme. So yeah, I think it’ll be incumbent on both Weaver and on Macdonald to mix and match a little bit. I probably feel more confident that Mike can do that than a first-time coordinator down there in Miami.”

Cal Raleigh Just Joined Some of the Best Players in Seattle Mariners History with Latest Homer

The Seattle Mariners moved to 25-19 on the season with a big 4-1 victory over the San Diego Padres on Saturday night at Petco Park.
Tied 1-1 in the top of the seventh inning, Mariners’ catcher Cal Raleigh continued the great start to his year, hitting his 15th home run. The solo blast gave the M’s a 2-1 lead before they added on in the ninth courtesy of a two-run single by Dylan Moore.
For Raleigh, the home run put him on an exclusive list with some of the best players in franchise history.
Per @MarinersPR on social media:
List of @Mariners to reach 15+ home runs in 44-or-fewer games:
Cal Raleigh (2025)
Nelson Cruz (2015)
Edgar Martinez (2000)
Alex Rodriguez 2x (1998, 2000)
Ken Griffey Jr. 4x (1994, ’97-’99)
Jay Buhner (1996)
The 28-year-old has taken another step forward offensively this year, raising his batting average to .253 and his on-base percentage to .379. Those are significantly higher than his career norms of .221/.304. He also has 31 RBIs this year to go along with five steals.
Add that to his work behind the plate, where he won the Gold Glove last year, and Raleigh is one of the most valuable players in baseball. ESPN MLB Insider Buster Olney recently told our own Refuse to Lose podcast that Raleigh is an early season MVP candidate.
From May 8:
But all kidding aside, you know, early in the week on the podcast that I do, I had Paul Hembekides, a great researcher at ESPN and a huge baseball guy, and we independently, I texted him ahead of time and I said, ’okay, tell me you’re 1, 2 and 3 in the American League.’ And we both landed on Cal Raleigh being number two behind Aaron Judge, based on the fact that, you know, with the power and the way that he leads the pitching staff and the fact that the Mariners have done well. He gets on base. I mean, he checks every box.
The Mariners will take on the Padres again on Sunday afternoon at 1:10 p.m. PT.
NEW PODCAST IS OUT! Brady is back for another episode of “Refuse to Lose,” talking about the Mariners’ recent slide and some of the criticism coming Dan Wilson’s way. Should the Mariners have used Andres Munoz in the eighth inning against the Yankees? Should they have intentionally walked Aaron Judge on Wednesday? And what’s the issue with the bullpen? Brady also raises a question about Logan Gilbert’s impending return and catches up with Tacoma Rainiers standout Samad Taylor for an enlightening conversation. CLICK HERE:
BIG QUESTION FOR GILBERT: Logan Gilbert is working his way back from a Grade 1 flexor strain, but when he comes back, will he be able to use his splitter? CLICK HERE:
CRITICIZING DAN? We spoke to ESPN MLB Insider Buster Olney about some of the criticism that manager Dan Wilson has gotten for Seattle in the early going this year. CLICK HERE:
