Mike and Puck get right into the win over the 49ers and what was the single biggest reason for the win. Mike told Puck that Mike Macdonald offered a different tone than what Pete Carroll would always preach. It was great to have Abe Lucas back on the field and you could tell immediately that he was a difference maker and he raised the play of the entire offensive line. Geno Smith continues to be hot topic with fans and media and showed again with his last second drive why he continues to be such a polarizing topic and player. Mike gets into a very interesting discussion with Puck on the team building philosophy of Mike Macdonald and how it’s different than the rest of the league thinking and how it harkens back to an older style of football. They also discuss the 49ers window and look ahead to the Seahawks matchup with the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.

Puck and Mike get temporarily distracted because they start talking about golf and who they would like to play if they could choose anyone in the golf world! Once they stop talking about golf, they get into the Seahawks win over the 49ers and how important that was for Seattle and how crushing it was for San Francisco.

How much do the Seahawks need Smith and how much does Geno need the Seahawks?Where will Aaron Rogers end up next season? Any chance he could land in San Francisco? Will there be a number of suitors for him?Are Deion Sanders and his son a package deal to the NFL? If they are, where? Was the Bills win over the Chiefs important? Did the Steelers once again offer the blueprint how to beat Lamar Jackson and the Ravens?

The “Dugar Report” with Michael-Shawn Dugar, The Athletic as he joins Jason “Puck” Puckett for his brand new weekly appearance taking the latest with the Seattle Seahawks. Mike and Puck get right into the win over the 49ers and what was the single biggest reason for the win. Mike told Puck that Mike Macdonald offered a different tone than what Pete Carroll would always preach. It was great to have Abe Lucas back on the field and you could tell immediately that he was a difference maker and he raised the play of the entire offensive line. Geno Smith continues to be hot topic with fans and media and showed again with his last second drive why he continues to be such a polarizing topic and player. Mike gets into a very interesting discussion with Puck on the team building philosophy of Mike Macdonald and how it’s different than the rest of the league thinking and how it harkens back to an older style of football.
