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.”

Report: Seattle Seahawks interviewing 49ers assistant for OC
The Seattle Seahawks are interviewing San Francisco 49ers run game coordinator/tight ends coach Brian Fleury for their offensive coordinator job on Saturday, according to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Why Bump is confident Seahawks will nail their OC search
Fleury is the sixth reported offensive coordinator candidate for the Super Bowl champion Seahawks, who are searching for a new OC after Klint Kubiak departed to become the Las Vegas Raiders’ head coach.
Seattle’s other reported OC candidates include four in-house options: quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko, run game specialist/assistant offensive line coach Justin Outten, passing game coordinator Jake Peetz and tight ends coach Mack Brown. Arizona Cardinals pass game specialist Connor Senger also was reported as a candidate.
Fleury spent the past seven seasons on 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan’s staff. He was the 49ers’ defensive quality control coach in 2019, their offensive quality control coach in 2020-21, their tight ends coach from 2022-24 and their run game coordinator/tight ends coach in 2025.
Fleury began his NFL coaching career as the Buffalo Bills’ quality control coach in 2013. He then spent two seasons in Cleveland, where he was the Browns’ assistant linebackers coach in 2014 and their outside linebackers coach in 2015. He then spent three seasons in Miami, serving as the Dolphins’ football research analyst in 2016 and their director of football research in 2017-18.

Nancy Guthrie: At least 3 reportedly detained in connection with case
Nancy Guthrie: 3 reportedly detained in case
Three people have reportedly been detained in connection with the investigation into Nancy Guthrie case. Officials with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said there will be no formal statement on the developments for now.
TUCSON, Ariz. – Fox News is reporting that at least three people have been detained on Feb. 13 in connection with the investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, citing an otherwise unnamed local law enforcement source.
Big picture view:
“The source says after receiving a tip, authorities detained two males, plus one of their moms. The source said a warrant had been served,” read a portion of the Fox News article. “The source cautioned that during a warrant execution ‘technically everyone is detained.’”
Meanwhile, officials with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said “law enforcement activity is underway at a residence near E. Orange Grove Rd & N. First Ave related to the Guthrie case.”
“Because this is a joint investigation, at the request of the FBI – no additional information is currently available,” read a portion of the X post.
What’s next:
Fox News is reporting that according to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, a written statement will be released.
The backstory:
Nancy, who is the mother of “Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie, was last seen on the night of Jan. 31 after being dropped off at her Catalina Foothills home near East Skyline Drive and North Campbell Avenue. She was reported missing the next day after her family was notified that she hadn’t shown up for church.
Authorities say she was taken from her home against her will and is without her necessary medication. Photos taken at the scene show blood drops on the porch of Nancy’s home.
On Feb. 11, FBI officials said they were “conducting an extensive search” along roadways in the Catalina Foothills area near Guthrie’s home.
“Numerous FBI agents are conducting an extensive search along multiple roadways in the Catalina Foothills area related to the Nancy Guthrie investigation,” the FBI’s Phoenix field office said in a statement. “We are asking the medi and motorists to follow all traffic laws and to remain especially cautious when passing law enforcement personnel near the roadways.”
On Feb. 12, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department asked residents within a two-mile radius of Nancy’s home to submit “all video footage that includes vehicles, vehicle traffic, people/pedestrians, and anything neighbors deem out of the ordinary or important” from Jan. 1 to Feb. 2.
On Feb. 13, PCSD said that DNA other than Nancy’s and “those in close contact to her” were collected from the property, and investigators are working to identify who it belongs to. PCSD is not saying where the DNA was located.
