Show notes

Show notes

On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett welcomes his weekly guests, Danny Kelly, from The Ringer and John Canzano from JohnCanzano.com

Puck starts off the show addressing the Seahawks defense and just how bad it’s been this year and in fact it’s worse than it was last year under Pete Carroll. The whole reason you fired Carroll and to bring Macdonald in was to fix the defense. So far, Macdonald has not done that.

Russell Wilson was vintage Russell Wilson last night and Puck that he was done forever in the league, but he’s happy to see what Wilson is doing and happy to be wrong…yet again!

Have you had enough of Hail Mary talk? Puck and Danny are over the Commanders Hail Mary play breakdown on all the talking shows on TV. Listen, it was a Hail Mary. It was lucky. Move on!

Finally, John has new information on the Pac-12 reaching a deal with Octagon, a national company that will try and secure the Pac-12 a new media rights deal.

Lastly, “Hey, What the Puck!?” Puck can’t believe the CEO of Taco Bell is a graduate of Washington State and he wants a Taco Bell inside the stadium and he wants NIL deals for all the athletes. In fact, he wants the field and stadium to be renamed after Taco Bell!

"Ground Puck" Seahawks Podcast : The Seahawks are their own worst enemy Oct 28, 2024

Show notes

“Ground Puck Seahawks Podcast” with Tim Booth, Seattle Times and Curtis Crabtree, FOX 13 recap the Seahawks loss to the Buffalo Bills, 31-10.

Issues still plague the Seahawks, they can’t run the ball, they can’t stop the run and they are sloppy and unprepared. Why are the Seahawks having so many issues with the offensive and defensive lines and why are they so undisciplined?

Did the boys feel like Riq Woolen made a great effort in preventing the Dalton Kincade touchdown? Do they like the boy language being displayed from Geno Smith. How far off is this football team right now because standings wise they are right there with all the other teams in their division.

The Seahawks can’t run the football because of their offensive line. How do they change their strategy with Walker? They just need to start incorporating him into the passing game.

Daily Puck Drop: Seahawks stampede. Cougs 7-1, ranked. Russell Wilson is back! Guests: Jim Moore + "Ground Puck" Seahawks Podcast w/ Curtis Crabtree and Tim Booth Oct 28, 2024

Show notes

Today’s Daily Puck Drop with Jason “Puck” Puckett, welcomes Jim Moore, the “Go-2-Guy” to the show for the first hour and then Curtis Crabtee, FOX 13 and Tim Booth, Seattle Times join for the final thirty minutes for the “Ground Puck Seahawks Podcast.”

Puck and Jim go over the game and Puck highlights the effort or lack of effort from Riq Woolen on the TD before the half for the Bills that summed up the game and effort for him. They also touched in on the behavior and sideline demeanor for Geno Smith. You understand the QB is upset and frustrated but he has to behave better. He’s the leader of the team. Despite the Seahawks losing in the fashion that they did, they did at times have a shot to take control of the game but self inflicted issues prevented them from doing so.

The defense continues to be an issue and so far through eight games under Mike Macdonald they are no better than they were a year ago with Pete Carroll.

After wrapping up the Seahawks, Puck and Jim turn their attention to the Cougs who defeated San Diego State over the weekend an no are ranked #22 in the country. They didn’t look great, but they did improve to 7-1 and will be favored in every game the rest of the way and have a great shot to go 11-1 and an outside, very outside shot of sneaking into the College Football Playoff discussion.

Before Jim leaves, he and Puck make a $100 bet on the Steelers and Giants game on Monday night. Puck loves the Steelers because he claims Russell Wilson is now back after posting another cheesy music video with his wife !

The Seahawks can’t run the football because of their offensive line. How do they change their strategy with Walker? They just need to start incorporating him into the passing game.

Lastly, “Hey, What the Puck?!” Puck focuses in on Jake Dickert’s behavior toward John Mateer and Dean Janikowski at the end of the game. Puck explains that it’s perfectly OK to yell at players and people need to relax.
