Podcast appearances and mentions of mike macdonald

Seahawks One Series with WALTER JONES (Seahawks/KING 5) We have to check in with the best to ever do it and get his thoughts on Charles Cross and the tall task the young offensive lineman has in front of him. Considering what the Rams have added this offseason, did Cross' job get more difficult and is he up for the challenge? How much better were Walt and Hutch in their second year together and how much better will Zabel and Cross be together this year? :30- ABC's of the Mariners - A is for Anderson- enough with the 6-man rotation, let's go to a 7-man rotation… Kade Anderson is too good! - B is for Bad Luck- that's what Julio is hitting into right now. - C is for Chapmans- Matt Chapman is available in a trade according to the Giants… Aroldis seems to be available as well… :45- It's Trade Season! MLB, NBA and NHL could all be making moves! There is a way the Mariners could make a trade for Matt Chapman work without increasing the payroll… We are expecting a very active offseason for the Kraken, so when will it start? Where will Giannis be playing next season? There are a lot of candidates, but apparently nothing Is blowing the Bucks away. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Soccer is the World's sport, but it's not America's.

The road frustrations continue for Bryan Woo who had the worst inning of his career in the 3rd yesterday, giving up 5 hits and 6 runs. The Mariners offense tried to bail him out, coming back with 4 runs of their own in the 4th, but it wasn't enough. :45- The Seahawks offseason has come to an end, and the team go their Super Bowl rings yesterday.

Apologies. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Seahawks One Series with BRYAN WALTERS (Seahawks/Fox 13 Seattle) Bryan joins the show for the first time ever and helps us take a look at the expectations for Rashid Shaheed heading into his first full year with the Seahawks. :30- We want our Piggyback, piggyback, piggyback… :45- We wrap up the show and the week with Booze News!

Has JSN changed at all since signing his mega-contract? After the NFL Honors and the trophy mishap, is there a little extra edge to JSN? How much did JSN's Rose Bowl performance play a part in the Seahawks drafting him? JSN with and without DK Metcalf..

Brown wasn't Philly's only problem, how the Eagles' passing game issues now put pressure on Jalen Hurts and Nick Sirianni, why the Commanders still feel like a fringe playoff team even with Jayden Daniels healthy, why the Cowboys could take control of the NFC East if their defense becomes average, and why Tank Dell's comeback could be bigger than people think for C.J. Stroud and the Texans' AFC hopes.

Learn how NFL defenses structurally adapt to four-down territory by shifting from high red zone match brackets to low red zone fence concepts. Explore the spatial and data-driven realities that force the extinction of split-field coverage inside the 14-yard line.—In this episode:The Four-Point Play Philosophy: Inside the 25-yard line, a defense's ultimate objective is to limit the offense to a field goal, securing a critical four-point swing in four-down territory.Spatial and Box Density Shift: As the field compresses below the 25-yard line, vertical burst is eliminated, forcing offenses to operate horizontally and allowing defenses to load the box.Personnel Transitions: Nickel remains the primary package down to the 15-yard line, but crossing into the low red zone causes nickel usage to drop below 50% as heavy base and goal-line packages take over to counter the condensed run game.The Disappearance of Split-Field Coverage: Traditional split-field coverages virtually vanish inside the 10-yard line, replaced by cover zero and bracket concepts that account for over 60% of low red zone defensive calls.Bracket vs. Fence Logic: Defensive adjustments are tiered by field position; the high red zone (25–15) focuses on technique manipulation and target brackets, whereas the low red zone (14–5) demands a total schematic shift to “fence” and “waterfall” concepts to protect the pylons.—Timestamps:00:00 - Red Zone Realities: Defining the Four-Point Play02:59 - High Red, Low Red, and Goal Line Boundaries04:13 - Spatial Metrics and Box Density in Four-Down Territory06:56 - Personnel Allocation: The Longevity of Nickel and Rise of Heavy Base10:22 - Elite Film Studies: Analyzing the Saints and Jesse Minter's Chargers11:29 - Hybrid Personnel and the Value of the Modern Box Safety13:16 - High Red DB Technique: Playing the Man16:00 - The Data Shift: Why Traditional Split-Field Coverages Disappear20:55 - Building Triangles and Brackets Against 2x2 Open Space23:33 - Low Red Fence Logic: Breakdowns of "Turkey" and "Waterfall" Rules31:43 - Slingshot Motions and Jet Sweep Leverage Mismatches36:55 - Basketball Bunches and Sideline-Out Geometry42:24 - NFC North vs. NFC West45:13 - Mike Macdonald and Raheem Morris Schematic Horizons48:46 - Previewing Part 2: Blitzing Constraints and the Shrunk Run Game—» Join Felix and Cody each Wednesday as we dive deep into the game we love!MatchQuarters is a reader-supported publication.

The NFC has been greatly impacted by the Rams adding Myles Garrett. Are the Super Bowl favorites going to run away with it all? What about if they add Aaron Donald? As Seahawks fans, how are we feeling about their much-improved defense? :30- ABC's of the Mariners - G is for Grown Man Strength- Patrick Wisdom has it - H is for Hat Trick- Jhonny Pereda almost had the Catcher's hat trick last night- is he making Mitch garver unsafe on this roster? - I is for Infield- what happens when Brendan Donovan returns? :45- We wrap up the Wednesday show with one last thing!

It's time for our Seahawks One Series with ROB STATON (BBC Sheffield) We break the rules just a bit and get Rob's thoughts on the Rams adding Myles Garrett and whether or not he thinks the Seahawks will make a move to counter. There were rumors that DeMarcus Lawrence was going to retire in the offseason; how big of a blow would that have been to this Seahawks defense? Is there any concern that Lawrence is close to hitting a wall? Would this team have had the success they did without DeMarcus Lawrence? :30- It's time for the Baseball Brunch starring Cole Young and featuring Dan Wilson. So, what did we learn? This is how the Mariners win- good to great starting pitching, good to great relief pitching and enough runs to get the job done and Cole Young is really good! :45- The Rams trading for Myles Garrett has everyone talking… See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yesterday was supposed to be AJ Brown Day, but instead the LA Rams and Cleveland Browns went and stole the headlines. The Browns traded Myles Garrett to the Rams and the Rams defense got instantly better. Both teams got a win in the trade, but the rest of the NFC West lost. :30- Mariners Morning After The Mariners walked it off again last night and got their 7th straight win. Could the Piggyback have turned this thing around for everyone? :45- Do the Seahawks need to counter the Rams after the addition of Myles Garrett? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Headlines and 12th man news with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) - Are the DeMarcus Lawrence retirement rumors finally being put to rest? - How will Dante Fowler fit in to this Mike MacDonald defense? :30- Piggyback 3 is happening this weekend… people are going to be so angry. :45- The NBA has revised their lottery system and they're curbing tanking in the process… or at least trying to. Will the new process eliminate the suspicions of rigging or make it worse? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

And they learn about some of the top stories in the sports world in Sweeping the Dial.

Headlines and 12th Man News with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) The Seahawks continue their focus on special teams, but other teams aren't copying the Hawks plan. Is it surprising John Schneider and Mike MacDonald are putting a lot of focus on the 3rd phase of the game and that other teams aren't following suit? Apparently the market for the Seahawks went from ice cold to red hot, what's the latest on the sale of the Hawks? How much of a say does Jody Allen have in the sale of the team versus the NFL and will it just go to the top bidder? :30- What to do with JP Crawford? Last week JP announced that he could make the move to 3rd to open the door for Colt Emerson at SS, but so far the move hasn't been made. Is he capable of playing third? If not, then is there a place for him on this team? :45- Get ready… for Apple Cup Sunday? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

MATT HASSELBECK joins the show to talk offseason football. Is the NFL new schedule too much? With the Seahawks offseason training getting underway- what advice would Matt have for Sam Darnold following his breakout season? There's a lot of people allowing themselves to think about how many championships this Seahawks team can win- how can the team stay on this path? How difficult will it be for this Seahawks offense to recover from losing Klint Kubiak? Is running back by committee the right answer? It seems the Rams made some moves to bolster their defense against JSN this offseason- is there anything anyone can do to stop him? :30- We've got a hunch you'll love the Baseball Brunch! We give a recap of last night's Mariners 4-1 win with special guests Victor Robles and Mitch Garver! :45- Uh oh! Some more teams have Gone Fishin' and so have some of our green jacket drafters.

The College Football Playoffs will undoubtably be expanding and there's one plan that Chuck will endorse. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Headlines and how is it possible that the Seahawks and Devon Witherspoon aren't “even close” on contract negotiations? Do we buy the story? Is someone not operating in good faith? :30- ABC's of the Mariners - O is for Oops! We had an oops on Sunday, but got one back yesterday as the A's tried to make a double play. If they do that correctly, we don't score in the 3rd… - P is for Piggyback- Piggyback 2 worked well last night, but the pitchers involved sure don't seem happy with it. - Q is for Questionable- JP's arm strength is definitely questionable; does he need to go to the IL? :45- There's no better way to spend Memorial Day weekend… See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brock and Salk react to Colt Emerson's first hit/home run and discuss that he looks pretty big league ready. They also parlay the Emerson conversation to talk through what is now the Mariners Family and the culture that has truly been built over the last few years. In Blue 88, Brock dives in on if theSeahawks will have any joint practices,  what got some short shrift during a Mike Macdonald speach and why the Seahawks walk and talks were so meaningful.

In his second year as head coach and defensive architect, Macdonald refined his hybrid system—blending Vic Fangio two-high principles with versatile fronts, simulated pressures, and interchangeable players—to create a unit that led the league in points allowed (17.2 PPG), yards per play, and run defense while ranking near the top in pressure rate with minimal blitzing.

Brock and Salk react to the Seahawks schedule and discuss why it is tough, but a very fair schedule. They then look into what life without Cal raleigh will look like for the Mariners and who has to step up in the meantime. In Blue 88, topics include why Mike Macdonald could spend more time with the offense, why the draft grade on Jadarian Price is encouraging compared to some other running backs and who around the league has a brutal schedule.

Dave and Lefko are joined by Xavier Scruggs of the MLB Network to get his thoughts on what goes though the mind of a hitter during a slump, the importance of clubhouse chemistry to a good baseball team, and the most important metrics to pay attention to, they hear what Mariners manager Dan Wilson said about Cal Raleigh hitting the IL in Sweeping the Dial, and the discuss whether we’ll see Mike Macdonald take more of a hands-on role with the Seahawks offense this season. 

Anders and Jess are in for Ian and we are taking a deep dive into the Seahawks official schedule. 12:30 - If you said the Mariners would be a game out of first place with the lacking we've seen from those we have higher expectations for this season - would you be ok with it prior to this season? Anders and Jess discuss where the roster is lacking and their confidence levels on them coming back. We shouldn't have to wait for the rest of the conference to suck to believe in the Mariners' ability to get to and win in the postseason. Time to dive into the Mariners' pitching rotation and what we're seeing there. The World Cup is coming to Seattle and Anders is pumped for it to not only be in America, but to be in his hometown. Ticket prices are dropping, and that's a good sign for fans to be able to attend. Danny O'Neil, The Dang Apostrophe! Danny used to hate NFL schedule releases, but with the changes in broadcasting, he thinks it's fun now. He thinks when it comes to International games, most coaches and GMs would choose that travel over Hard Knocks. The Seahawks took one for the team on doing the show this year. There are a ton of distractions with Seahawks' rivals this off-season. Is Danny drinking the Rams' Kool-Aid? Finally, Danny sees a favorable first half of the season for the Seahawks and that Mike Macdonald has a more buttoned-down approach than Pete Carroll did. Ty Dane Gonzalez, Locked on Mariners joins us to talk about what we've seen from the Mariners. Should Cal have gone to the IL earlier than now? At least they didn't wait too long for what seemed like an inevitable decision. If you look at the state of catching around the league, they're not in a bad situation with Mitch Garver behind the plate. Ty and Anders dive into the 6-man rotation and whether it's the best decision for the team right now. We check the texts and crosstalk with Dick Fain.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the Seahawks look to repeat this year, there are areas where they could slip after a championship season and reasons why they might still be even more dominant. Potential downside comes from opponents adjusting to Mike Macdonald's nickel-heavy run defense, statistical regression if Jaxon Smith-Njigba can't repeat his production, uncertainty around first-time play caller Brian Fleury, and possible special-teams regression. The optimism centers on expanded offensive weapons (A.J. Barner, Tory Horton, Rashid Shaheed), a chance for the offensive line to jump from average to top-10 with continuity, and defensive growth as Nick Emmanwori and Byron Murphy elevate alongside other core leaders. Finally, we recognize Mike Macdonald could still continue to grow and build the defense beyond what we saw last season. Support the show Get in the Flock!

Brock and Salk highlight Cal Raleigh's struggles and wonder what the reason for them may be. They also talk through some of the Mariners most concerning trends so far.

The Seahawks have signed Dante Fowler Jr. to a one-year deal worth up to $5 million. We talk about the fit, value and expectations for a veteran replacement for Boye Mafe after the team avoided drafting the position. How does he stack up to some of the other veterans Mike Macdonald has maximized during his time in Seattle and with Baltimore, and we define "success" as steady rotational snaps with modest sack production. We take a look at some recent news stories with Rams pass rusher Jared Verse story praising Seattle's offensive line cohesion, and review an SB Nation item quoting ex-Seahawks executive Scot McCloughan projecting rookie RB Jadarian Price over Jeremiah Love. A new segment, "Hot Take Court," digs into an online claim that Price can't catch.  Support the show Get in the Flock!
