    Ground Puck Seahawks Podcast: Offensive line worst in Seahawks history. Would you turn to Sam Howell? Nov 04, 2024

    Puck goes back to the Seahawks as Tim Booth , Seattle Times and Curtis Crabtree, FOX 13 join Puck for the Ground Puck Seahawks Podcast. Once again they focus in on the awful offensive line play and until that ever fixes itself, the team will continue to lose games like they did on Sunday to the Rams.


    They discuss the decision by Mike Macdonald to go for it on fourth down in overtime. Tim and Curtis liked the decision, Puck offered up an alternative and thought he should have trusted his defense more.


    What is going on with Connor Williams and why can’t he snap the football anymore? How much is that now affecting Geno Smith?


    Speaking of Smith, do the guys ever foresee a scenario where Sam Howell starts a game this season over Smith? The final eight games of the season will be tough and you can make a plausible argument that they won’t be favored in those games.


    Lastly, why has the team been so sloppy this season? That’s a direct reflection on Mike Macdonald.

    Daily Puck Drop: Sam Howell time? Worst Seahawks OL in team history. Cougs shot at College Football Playoff. Guests: Jim Moore, Go-2-Guy. Ground Puck Seahawks Podcast w/ Tim Booth, Seattle Times and Curtis Crabtree, FOX 13 Nov 04, 2024

    Today’s Daily Puck Drop with Jason “Puck” Puckett, welcomed Jim Moore, the Go-2-Guy, who joins Puck every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Also, Tim Booth of the Seattle Times and Curtis Crabtree of FOX 13 drop by for their Monday weekly show, Ground Puck Seahawks Podcast.


    Jim and Puck jump right into the Seahawks miserable loss and continue to just shake their head at how bad the Seahawks offensive line is.


    It is without a doubt the worst offensive line in the history of the organization and you can’t really get all that critical of Ryan Grubb or Geno Smith because they can’t get to any of the plays they truly want to run because of how bad the line is.


    Despite the struggles of the offensive line, Puck and Jim did resist their bet that they made in the beginning of the season where Jim bet Puck $250 dollars that Sam Howell would start a game this season and not because of injury. Puck said he still feels confident in that bet, but he thinks the door is a little bit more open especially with the teams upcoming schedule.


    Speaking of that schedule, Puck points out to Jim that it’s highly likely that they won’t be favored in any of their remaining eight games.


    After talking about the Seahawks, they turn their attention to the Cougars, who will find themselves ranked in the top 20 of Tuesday’s first College Football Playoff rankings. ESPN analytics gives the Cougs a 17-percent chance of making the playoffs and if they win their remaining four games, that figure jumps up to 34-percent. Puck and Jim are reveling in the idea that they have shot to make it, but also acknowledge that it wouldn’t be realistic if it weren’t for the schedule they have played.


    However, Jim is not rooting for the Huskies at all. Jim doesn’t want to see Washington beat Penn State or Oregon, even though it helps the Cougars resume. He’d rather have the Cougs just miss out on the playoffs. Puck thinks Jim is officially crazy.

    Lastly, why has the team been so sloppy this season? That’s a direct reflection on Mike Macdonald.



    Finally, Puck wraps up the show with “Hey, What the Puck!?” Cougar fans! Have fun with all the playoff talk. Revel in it. You never know who long it will last. The team has put themselves in a position this season to give themselves a shot. That has been awesome to watch develop!

    Chris Egan Show: Seahawks fans lost their passion? Is Halloween dead? Nov 01, 2024

    Chris Egan, KING 5, joins the show to wrap up a Friday and he and Puck discuss whether or not Seahawks fans have become apathetic and is it no longer a great home field advantage. Should fans that sell their tickets to opposing fans have their season tickets pulled?


    Egan thinks Halloween is dead and kids don’t care about it as much anymore. You think it’s true? do kids not care about it anymore.


    Chris also highlights a great trip to Sumner this past Friday for the King 5 “Big Game of the Week” and noted how awesome the environment was and that every high school should model that experience after what Sumner does.

    Puck and Jim start off the show wrapping up Halloween in Seattle and in Bend, where Jim lives. After that they jump into the storyline that Seahawks fans are becoming soft and not showing up to the stadium anymore like they once did and are selling their tickets to opposing fans who are now taking over the stadium. Puck says the narrative that Lumen Field is being taken over by opposing groups is lazy and low hanging fruit. He explains to Jim his reasoning.


    The Cougs basketball team is headed to the Maui Invitational in 2025 and Puck and Jim are fired up and can’t wait to go!


    They turn their attention to the Rams game on Sunday and they play a clip from Lofa Tatupu’s appearance with Puck on Thursday on his key for the game Sunday against the Rams.


    Puck and Jim welcome Troy West, from TroyWins.com to the show to go over the betting favorites for the weekend in college football and the NFL. Troy nailed his Lock of the Week last week and gives his lock for this week as well.


    Chris Egan, KING 5, joins the show to wrap up a Friday and he and Puck discuss whether or not Seahawks fans have become apathetic and is it no longer a great home field advantage. Should fans that sell their tickets to opposing fans have their season tickets pulled?

    Mike Garafolo, NFL Network joined the show for his weekly visit and Puck and Mike immediately jumped into the upcoming NFL trade deadline which will be on election night. There have been rumors that D.K. Metcalf could be traded and interest has been drawn to Seattle for his services. Mike immediately addressed those rumors and reports. Who else could potentially be on the move in the NFL?


    Doesn’t it fee like this year in the NFL is as unpredictable as it has ever been? Puck and Mike discuss the state of the NFL. What’s the future of Aaron Rogers and the New York Jets? If they lose again, will Rogers just simply tap out on the rest of the season? Has his legacy been tarnished since going to New York.


    The show was interrupted because Mike couldn’t believe that some kid had come to his house at 1:30pm to trick or treat on Halloween! They both agreed this violated the rules and regulations of Halloween and that you can’t knock on someone’s door before 4pm. Mike’s Dad was at the house and came in to ask Mike where the candy was and then asked if he could just pay the kid cash instead of candy? Garafolo’s wife also got in on the action and stormed into the studio to express her displease with trick or treaters starting this early!


    Once they got back to football, Puck asked Mike about the price tag for impending free agent quarterback Sam Darnold and would he be worth it for Seattle?

    Lofa Tatupu: How to fix the Seahawks OL. Is Macdonald's defense too complicated? Oct 31, 2024

    Lofa Tatupu, former Seahawks linebacker joins the show to talk about the current state of the team. He sees one major issue with the offensive line and he thinks if they can fix that issue in their scheme they would be a much better unit. Fascinating take on the offensive line.


    Lofa also hints that the Seahawks defense could be too complicated at times for their current players, but he thinks they adjust fairly quickly. It was only one game to watch Ernest Jones play middle linebacker, but Lofa came away impressed with his style, speed and physicality.


    Much was made of the spat between Derick Hall and Jarran Reed, did Lofa have a problem with what he saw on the field. Lofa talked to Reed this week and shared what Reed told him and what he told Reed.


    They also touched on the body langue of Geno Smith of late and whether or not that’s been a problem. Finally, they previewed the upcoming game against the Rams and Lofa touched in on his business ventures Savage Brewery, 1937 Cannabis Farm and his All Day Podcast.

    On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett welcomes Mike Garafolo, NFL Network, his regular Thursday contributor and former Seahawks linebacker Lofa Tatupu.


    Puck starts off the show recapping the World Series and the disaster that the Yankees were as they self destructed and blew Game 5. Now that the season is over, Puck shifted his attention to the Seattle Mariners and what is in store for them this offseason. Lots of holes to plug for the Mariners, especially in the infield and the free agent market is weak. Will they be forced to trade one of their young starting pitchers? Puck sure hopes they don’t go down that road.

    Puck the Huskies: Kalen Deboer is the problem. Demond Williams or Will Rogers? Oct 31, 2024

    In this episode of the Puck the Huskies podcast, Jason “Puck” Puckett, Jordan Reffett, and Elise Woodward chat about the recent Indiana loss, and the challenges faced by the team, particularly in the offensive and defensive lines.


    Jordan dives into the biggest problem with this years Huskies, he lays the blame solely at the departure of Kalen Deboer. Elise agrees that the lack of recruiting under Deboer has caused major issues.


    Is it unfair to blame Jedd Fisch for the current problems with the offensive line? Can they rebuild the OL with the transfer portal or do they need to do it with high school players?


    The Huskies are currently 4-4, they can still qualify for a bowl game, but it would be a lower bowl game. Is that still important to players anymore. Elise scoffs at the notion that bowl games aren’t meaningful.


    Lastly, should the Huskies make a quarterback change and go with the young kid in Demond Williams over Will Rogers?

They will not reach their goals as a team until they fix those issues up front. Rob revisits past drafts to highlight the issues with their drafts and looks at free agents that they could have landed instead of other players that they ultimately signed.


    Both agree that John Schneider is a great GM, but both also agree that he has failed miserably in rebuilding and developing the OL.


    The Seahawks will have big decisions to make in the offseason with personnel and one of those conversations will be what to do with Geno Smith? They obviously need a QB, but is Smith worth the massive price tag. Also, there will be free agents available like Sam Darnold. Is he worth taking a look at?


    At the end of the QB discussion, Puck brings up one more name that will be a free agent at the end of the season and that would be Russell Wilson. Would you bring Wilson back next year? Puck puts Rob on the spot to answer that question.

    “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.

    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 !

    On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett opens up the show talking about the return of the NBA and how much longer do Sonics fans need to wait before the return of our team? Will this year be the last year before the Sonics return? Adam Silver and the league at some point need to give Seattle something before patience wears out.


    Lebron and the Lakers tip the season off tonight and that means plays with his son Bronny. Unfortunately it’s just a spectacle because Bronny James has no business playing in the league right now. Bronny averaged 4 points and shot 29 percent from the floor. This is all about Lebron. It’s a selfish act and goes against everything that’s right about competition in sports.


    Danny Kelly, The Ringer joins the show to discuss the NFL, Seahawks and fantasy football advice. Danny and Puck ventured into the debate about Todd Bowles and did he make the right decision in keeping Chris Godwin in the game? They both agreed he’s receiving unwanted criticism.

Puck and Danny also introduce a new feature, “Barge of the Week.” Every week they’ll put a team or player on the barge, but they can always bring that player back if they want. For the first week they are putting the San Francisco 49ers on the barge. It appears that they are finally done.


    Lastly, Danny offers his fantasy football advice on “Waiver Wire Pickup”.


    John Canzano, JohnCanzano.comjoins the show for his weekly chat on all things college football. John and Puck discuss the worst fanbases in sports and the why the lunatic fringe of fanbases get all the attention. John tells Puck about the time a fan accosted him at a restaurant with his wife.


    Oregon is the new number one team in the country. How are they handling the attention and does John feel there is another loss coming soon? Washington faces Indiana this Saturday at 9am and some fans are complaining about another early start time, but this is what they get and should have expected when they took the money and left the Pac-12 behind. John and Puck agree this is very much a game that the Huskies can win because Indiana to this point has not been challenged.


    John attended basketball media day for the Mountain West and WCC, what did he hear and take away? Also, he sat down one on one with Mark Few and talked about Gonzaga joining the conference and who will the conference add as their eighth member? Few seemed to indicated to John that more schools are now attracted to the idea of joining the Pac-12.


    What about the Pac-12 media deal? John dishes on the latest that he’s hearing on that front and has an updated story on JohnCanzano.com on the latest.

    Daily Puck Drop: Seahawks / 49ers Preview Uchenna Nwosu out 6-10 weeks? . Guests: Mike Garafolo, NFL Network. John Lund, KNBR, 49ers Pre/Post-Game host. Andy Bunker, 92.9 The Game "Hey, What the Puck!?" Oct 10, 2024

    On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett starts off the show discussing tonight’s Thursday Night game between the Seahawks and 49ers. The betting public is behind the Niners. Seattle is 1-4 against the spread this season and 49ers QB Brock Purdy is 7-1 ATS when it’s four points or less. The 49ers are favored by 3.5.



    Mike Garafolo, NFL Network joins the show to preview tonight’s Seahawks and 49ers game. Who needs the game more, San Francisco or Seattle? Puck and Mike disagree.


    Garafolo gives the very latest on the injury situation with Uchenna Nwosu. Mike is hearing that he will be out 6-10 weeks.


    What is going on with Abe Lucas? Mike has an update on the Seahawks starting right tackle.


    Could Christian McCaffrey’s season and career be over? Mike says there is a chance.


    Lastly, where does Bill Belichick end up next season? What about a reunion with the New York Jets?


    Puck’s LIVE feed cuts out, but was able to get back up and running after a short hiatus.


    John Lund, KNBR in San Francisco, who hosts an afternoon sports show and is the 49ers Pre/Post-Game Show host joined Puck to preview the game tonight. Both teams are banged up, so whoever can whether the injury front the better will most likely win.


    Lund said that the 49ers receivers have really struggled in man coverage this year, especially Deebo Samuel, who Lund said has “sucked this year” and it has put Brock Purdy in a bad position. He has consistently been leaving the pocket to avoid pressure and give his receivers more time to get open but in doing so he’s been taking unnecessary hits in the process .


    San Francisco has problems on the defensive line and it’s probably an area where Seattle will attack. What’s the future of Christian McCaffrey? The outlook doesn’t sound good.


    Puck wraps up the show with Andy Bunker, from 92.9 The Game, for “Hey, What the Puck!?” Andy and his wife are raising money for Hurricane Helene release that devastated the Carolina’s, where Andy’s wife is from. Andy and Puck worked together at KJR in Seattle. Andy went to high school at Franklin and went to UW.

    20:56 Mike Garafolo, NFL Network joins the show…Niners/Seahawks preview. Uchenna Nwosu out 6-10 weeks. Future of Christian McCaffrey. Who has more pressure on them to win tonight. Will Bill Belichick end up coaching the Jets?


    50:05 John Lund, KNBR, talk show host and 49ers pre/post-game show host on tonights game. Who has the advantage. Seattle should attack their depleted secondary. Deebo Samuel has sucked. Brock Purdy is leaving the pocket too much. The 49ers window is closing?



    1:30:05 Puck wraps up the show with Andy Bunker, from 92.9 The Game, for “Hey, What the Puck!?” Andy and his wife are raising money for Hurricane Helene release that devastated the Carolina’s, where Andy’s wife is from. Andy and Puck worked together at KJR in Seattle. Andy went to high school at Franklin and went to UW.

    Mike Garafolo Show: Nwosu out 6-10 weeks? More of a must win for Seahawks or 49ers? Oct 10, 2024

    Opponent Preview: John Lund, KNBR. "Deebo Samuel sucks" Oct 10, 2024

    John Lund, KNBR, hosts sports talk show and is the pre and post-game show host the the San Francisco 49ers, joins the show to talk about the Thursday night matchup between the Niners and Seahawks.


    Puck and Lund worked together back in the early 2000’s in Portland at 910 The Fan.


    Both teams are dealing with injuries and both teams understand how important the game is tonight. The loser will have an uphill climb to make the playoffs.


    San Francisco has had trouble with man to man coverage and their receivers not winning those battles, something John said will be a key tonight against Seattle. Another key will be can the Seahawks move the ball on the ground, something that Arizona was able to do last week against the 49ers.


    Brock Purdy has had the Seahawks number, but has struggled a bit this season. John tells Puck that he’s had a habit of leaving the pocket early and taking too many unnecessary hits.


    Lastly, John wonders if the Niners have put too much emphasis on this game tonight and if they lose how much does it affect the rest of the season?

    Puck and Divish lament how much damage the Mariners could have made in the playoffs because of the lack of really good starting pitching in the postseason. The Dodgers and Tigers (minus Skubal) have issues in their rotation. The Mariners team was built for the postseason, however, they are not built for the regular season.

The injury to Uchenna Nwosu and the lackluster performance from the team against the Giants. Why did the Seahawks come out so flat against New York and Rob explains why that is such a huge problem.


    Ryan Grubb didn’t have his best game, obviously, but it’s no time to panic for the offense. Both Puck and Rob feel like the offense will get it going and it will start on Thursday against the 49ers.


    Speaking of the 49ers, this Thursday’s game is most likely a must win for both. Both teams are winless in the conference. Whoever loses is not out of the playoff race, but it will be a major uphill climb.


    Could help be on the way for the Seahawks defense? Rob wants to kick the tires on former Seahawks player, Jadeveon Clowney. You agree?

    How much did we learn from Washington’s victory over Michigan. Is this the win that sparks Jedd Fisch and UW or is Michigan just a bad football team?


    How will Jake Dickert and the Cougs avoid a mid-season slide what will their record be when they face the Oregon State Beavers on Nov. 23?


    Why isn’t eir a college football commissioner or czar? College athletes will be getting paid as the courts have passed that current and former athletes are entitled to roughly $2.7 billion dollars. How will that affect the college landscape?


    Johnathan Smith sure knows a lot about point spreads. Puck and John have a good laugh with Smith covering the spread last week against Oregon. Puck wonders how many coaches are aware of the point spreads and could that raise a red flag?

Mike Garafolo, Puck’s weekly guest on Thursday’s texted Puck and said it will be longer than the four weeks, but he doesn’t think season ending.

    Daily Puck Drop w/ Jim Moore : Seahawks destroyed. Weekend Roundup. Guests: "Ground Puck" w/ Curtis Crabtree & Tim Booth, Seahawks looked terrible. Oct 07, 2024

    On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett and Jim Moore jump right into the Seahawks miserable loss. One of the worst they have seen from a defense in years. Puck and Jim also were mad at Michigan for not beating Washington and they can’t figure out how a program like Michigan can’t have a QB!!


    What’s the worst part of the defense? is it the linebackers or defensive line? Puck is not impressed with the linebackers. So far, Mike Macdonald has not fixed the defense especially against the run. How concerning is that especially with the 49ers looming on Thursday, which is probably a must win game for both teams if they want to make the playoffs.


    On Monday’s Weekend RoundUp…Puck details the results of the Interbay Eagles, his son’s youth football team. The results of the college football weekend which saw Jonathan Smith covering the spread vs. Oregon. Kalen DeBoer blows it against Vanderbilt and fans already pissed at him. Miami and Cam Ward stormed back to beat Cal, which was a great site for College GameDay.


    “Ground Puck Podcast” w/ Jason “Puck” Puckett and Curtis Crabtree, FOX 13, Tim Booth Seattle Times.


    How in the world did the Seahawks lose to the lowly New York Giants? The defense was completely outplayed and had no answer for the the Giants, despite Malik Nabers and Devin Singletary being out. What is the biggest problem for the defense? Is it the defensive line or the lack of playmakers at linebacker?


    The offense wasn’t much better. Ryan Grubb did not have a good day. Ken Walker managed just five carries in the game and just two in the first half. The Seahawks dropped back on 51 of their 58 plays. That just can’t continue to happen if the Seahawks want to win games.


    The upcoming schedule is real pivotal for the Seahawks, starting on Thursday with the 49ers. After that they head to Atlanta to take on an explosive Falcons offense and then it’s back home to face Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. The season has a chance to slip away real fast.



    Lastly, “Hey, What the Puck?!” Defense is still a problem and Mike Macdonald has yet to fix it.



    Rundown


    00:00 Puck and Jim jump right into the Seahawks game and why it was one of the worst performances in Seahawks history. They recap the college football weekend. They praise the great Jonathan Smith and Puck and Jim feel he should be the coach of the week because he covered the spread against the Ducks!


    01:00:27 “Ground Puck Podcast” w/ Jason “Puck” Puckett and Curtis Crabtree, FOX 13, Tim Booth Seattle Times. The Seahawks had one of their worst performances on defense in a number of years. Why is the defense struggling so much to stop the run? Are the linebackers playing well? Defensive line still not getting a push. Offensive line is still a mess and it doesn’t appear to be getting better anytime soon. Schedule is getting tougher and the next four weeks will determine if they get in or not.



    01:45:05 “Hey, What the Puck!?” Defense still a problem and Mike Macdonald hasn’t fixed it…yet.

    After Troy departs giving his picks, Puck and Jim discuss the interview that Mariners owner John Stanton gave to Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. Puck and Jim called the interview unacceptable because Stanton is only making himself available on a team controlled site. Stanton didn’t really answer anything of note and Puck and Jim can’t understand why the team doesn’t truly get the frustration of their fans.


    They spend nearly an hour breaking down the interview and just keep shaking their head why they and so many people still love the team, because this group makes it real hard.


    They wrap it up with Friday VOICEMAILS, and they introduce a new character…Hugh Millen!

    Mike Garafolo Show: Davante Adams trade, watch out for 49ers Oct 03, 2024

    Mike Garafolo, NFL Network joins the show and immediately discusses the market for Davante Adams who has requested a trade from the Raiders. The Jets and the Saints are the obvious landing spots, but Mike said keep an eye out for the 49ers because they tried to trade for Adams over the summer while dealing with Brandon Aiyuk.


    If the Niners were to trade for Adams they would obviously be shipping Aiyuk out. Does Tyreke Hill want out of Miami and does he want to return to the Chiefs. Mike gives the lates on that situation. Doesn’t look like Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers will play for the Giants on Sunday as he deals with a concussion. Also, don’t anticipate to see Seahawks defensive tackle Byron Murphy against the Giants, but Leonard Williams will try and give it a go.

    On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett welcomes his regular Thursday guests: Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network and Brad Adam of ROOT Sports. It’s the final visit of the year for Brad as the Mariners season is over.

Puck explains that they work for the team and no one who works for a team whether on TV or radio is going to be overly critical of that particular team.


    The Seahawks finished up the first month of the season and Puck loves where the team is at right now. The offensive numbers have stood out and the defense, minus the Detroit game has been good. On thing the defense needs to improve on is forcing turnovers.

What’s next for the conference since they need to add one more school for football. Puck and Jim would like to circle back to UNLV, but Paul likes Memphis.


    Tackling continues to be the issue for the Cougars and there defense was overpowered for the second straight week by a Mountain West school. That raises a huge red flag!


    Bye week is critical for the health of the football team, in particular the health of QB John Mateer, who is taking an absolute beating the last few games. If it keeps up he won’t last the season


    Despite the loss, the Cougars still have a great opportunity to run the rest of their schedule, but in order to do so, some major changes need to take place with their defense.

    Jim Duquette Show: Mariners are a rudderless organization Sep 30, 2024

    Jim Duquette, MLB Network Radio stops by for his final visit of the season. They dive right into the Mariners failures this season and dissected what went wrong and how they could possibly fix it.


    Jim didn’t like the decision for Jerry Dipoto not to do an official end of the year press conference and agreed that John Stanton, the owner should have been present to answer specific questions like why he decided to bring Dipoto and general manager Justin Hollander back for another season.


    Despite Dipoto saying his outfield is set, Puck and Duquette wonder if they will still try and move Randy Arozarena in the offseason. Duquette is convinced that they will shot Luis Castillo. The move would free up $72 million and bring some young talent back.


    Dipoto claims that they will not have any financial restraints, but they owe a lot of money in arbitration to a number of players and that won’t leave them a lot once they are finished with those players.

Go check it out at PuckSports.com, on the blog tab.


    Why do the Mariners find themselves so unaccountable and why do we as fans seem to put up with their behavior. They had over 35K people a day there this past weekend. Why??.


    Both Puck and Jim love the Seahawks +3.5 tonight against Detroit and feel that Geno Smith will once again shine in Detroit. As Puck likes to point out as a smarts, the team that wins the trenches will win the game! Thanks tips.


    Jim wonders if he should write a column on Lee Corso and whey he thinks he should be taken off College GameDay. Puck, the mature one :), tells Jim not to write the column.


    Finally, they both find it funny that GameDay will be at Cal this Saturday for the Bears home game against Miami!

    The three get in a heated, but friendly debate over the performance of the defense. Puck and Jim feel the defense is performed poorly and Paul isn’t having any of it and says they are 4-0 and that’s all that matters!


    Puck, Jim and Paul all agree that if they didn’t have Mateer as the teams quarterback, they would probably be 2-2. In the latest realignment news, they touch on the Cougs current situation in the Pac-12 with the reports that UNLV is weighing their options about joining.

    On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett is joined by Rob Staton, SeahawksDraftblog.com, John Canzano, JohnCanzano.com and Bill Krueger, ROOT Sports.


    Rob Staton, SeahawksDraftBlog.comjoins the show from the start to chat about the Seahawks win over Miami and the play of the defense. Is the defense good or is it a result of the opponents they have faced? Also, you are seeing a trend in the NFL with teams running the football more and it’s a trend that will likely continue as the season moves forward. So, as Puck and Rob discuss, old school football is back! With all the compliments being thrown the way of the Seahawks, they still have issues on the offensive line, in particular Anthony Bradford. Puck and Rob can’t figure out why they continue to play him and not give Christian Haynes a shot, but Rob does have a theory that he ran by Puck on why Bradford may be staying in there for now.


    Rob continues to gush over the play of Geno Smith and the offense despite them struggling in the middle of the game. D.K. Metcalf continues to be a force in the passing game and the running game looked much better with Zach Charbonnet this past weekend. Both Rob and Puck agreed that Charbonnet is a much better back than people give him credit for. They wrap up their conversation with thoughts on the rest of the NFC West and NFC and ask who is really better than Seattle right now? Seattle is playing some really good football despite the opponents.

The Dodgers have the most pressure going into the season on them, but what are they missing and will that prevent them from winning the whole thing? Who are currently the best teams in the AL and NL? Jim’s answer for the American League may surprise you and it will definitely anger you! Jim and Puck discuss how the Mariners, if they don’t get in, just completely blew a huge opportunity this season especially with how poorly teams like the Royals and Twins have played down the stretch.

    "HawksNest" Curtis Crabtree & Tim Booth: Seahawks win sloppy, dominant defensive performance Sep 23, 2024

    Jim takes off to walk his dogs again, and Puck is joined by Tim Booth and Curtis Crabtree for their weekly “HawksNest” Show, where they breakdown the Seahawks win over the Dolphins. The Seahawks were able to dominate the game on the defensive side, but how much is that because of the quarterback play for the Dolphins? The season has been a pretty soft landing for Mike Macdonald and his new staff because they have faced Bo Nix, Jacoby Brissett and Skylar Thompson. The season will heat up next week when they take on the Detroit Lions. They turn their attention to the offensive line. It played better at times, but Anthony Bradford has been a disaster and why has Christian Haynes not taken over at the spot yet? Regardless of the opponent, the Seahawks are 3-0 and have a two game lead in the NFC West thanks in part to a number of injuries affecting the other teams. Seattle must take advantage of the situation and they currently are doing that.

Because Jim and Puck are riding high on the Cougs, they put their money down on John Mateer winning the Heisman Trophy! They switch gears to the Seahawks and talked about how they were able to win an ugly, sloppy game.

    The Brad Adam Show Sep 19, 2024

    Brad Adam isn’t covering the game on Thursday and he’s headed to watch the game with his father and just being a fan. Brad and Jason “Puck” Puckett dive into the latest blunder involving Julio Rodriguez. Brad wants to know what was worse, the Julio play or Victor Robles from the previous night.


    Puck and Brad wonder and are frustrated that the team will no doubt trade one of their young pitchers in the offseason to improve the offense. They just can’t decide which one will be moved.


    Going back to the Julio and Robles situation, Puck and Brad agree that Dan Wilson should have been more pointed in his postgame comments. He didn’t need to go over the top in his displeasure, but he needed to publicly state that is not the way the Mariners play. Puck introduces Brad to the “Puckett Crisis Firm.”

    Jason "Puck" Puckett, former KJR host, joined by Brad Adam, Root Sports, for his weekly conversation discussing the Mariners. The majority of the conversation centered on who is to blame for their play? Is it the fault of ownership, the front office or the manager? Puck and Brad both agree they all share blame. if they do miss the playoffs and make changes at the end of the season, do they just fire Scott Servais or do they also include Jerry Dipoto and the front office into that equation?

However, Dipoto and the front office get all the credit for the pitching staff, but none of the blame for the offense?

    We touch again on the situation with Mike Macdonald taking down pictures of the SB team inside the facility. Puck knows many of you don't care, but he still finds it odd that Macdonald would do this and says that it was an insecure move by a very young coach. You should embrace your past, not try to hide it.

    Puck touches in on the NBA with the playoffs starting on Friday. The NBA will return and expect an announcement later this year. Puck promotes a new venture with the "Iconic Sonics" podcast which will debut next week. On his first episode he sits down with former Sonics coach George Karl.

    Puck touches in on the current situation of ROOT Sports and where the Kraken are headed next season. Likely going to KONG TV with some type of streaming service and Puck makes a plead with the Kraken to hire one person for their broadcast opening!

    Lastly, disturbing story coming out of the WIAA as they consider a transfer portal in high school athletics. Jon Manley, of the Tacoma News-Tribune with some great reporting on the subject. Go check out the article at thenewstribune.com. Puck says this would be a terrible idea for high school athletics.

    Takeaways

    The Seattle Mariners have a series against the Colorado Rockies and need to improve their offensive performance.

Rob goes over who he likes and what he wants Seattle to do at #16 and what players that he likes that he thinks we'll be there.

    Also, they talk about Mike Macdonald's decision to take down murals celebrating the Seahawks Super Bowl team in the teams facility. Rob and Puck disagree with the message.

    #42 Daily Puck Drop Apr 18, 2024

    On today's show, Puck opens up talking about the Mariners and what a great series it was vs. the Reds and how Julio has not let his slow start at the plate translate to the field. Now, they head to Colorado where they can get fat and happy in the elevation and against a bad baseball team.

    Puck doesn't understand what Mike Macdonald is doing by taking down pictures of past players in the facility. Why wouldn't you embrace your championship past. Dumb move, says Puck.

    Trevor Bauer deserves a second chance after a second woman who accused him of sexual assault is now being charged with defrauding him. Bauer may not be liked by many, but he now has proved that he didn't assault a second woman and it appears all these allegations against him are false and someone needs to let him back in the MLB.

    Puck says stop being outraged by the WNBA salaries. The leagues revenue is $60M, compared to the NBA which is $7.4B. The league doesn't generate money, so why should they be paid more by the league? Caitlin Clark earns over $3.5M in endorsements. So, despite her making just $76K, she's going to be ok.

    Can't we all just have an owner like Steve Ballmer? The Clippers owner covered the entire concessions for his fans on the final home game of the season. That's what an owner is supposed to do. The amount of goodwill he just earned from his fans will pay off for years to come.

    Lastly, Jontay Porter banned from the NBA for life for betting on himself and games. Good that the league caught this and the gaming industry. People don't realize there are so many checks and balances with this and the league caught it. This doesn't mean we need to stop gambling on sports. No entity more than the gaming industry wants this all to be handled on the up and up. Porter made over $20k on bets and that amount cost him his career.

    #16 Daily Puck Drop Apr 04, 2024

    On Thursday's Daily Puck Drop, the Mariners played without a doubt their sloppiest game under Scott Servais. What to make of the poor play? Do you blame coaches or players? Also, Teoscar, Suarez and Kelenic have more offensive production than the entire M's team...Real neat!

    Kraken eliminated from the playoffs. Puck says the Kraken better get it figured out soon because when the Sonics return soon, the Kraken will be placed on the back burner.

    Puck had to explain to his german mother what a podcast is and how to find it. As you can imagine it led to a hilarious exchange.

Chaletbowl.com to make your next reservations.


    On today's episode, Puck and Divish wrap up a rough series against Cleveland, culminating in the third and final game in which the Mariners made countless miscues in the field. No doubt one of the worst played games under the Scott Servais regime.

    #12 Brad Adam Apr 03, 2024

    Brad Adam joins Puck for his weekly visit after the disaster of a final game against Cleveland. Brad's weekly appearance brought to you by John Howie Steak. Puck and Brad lament and just a poor, poor series vs. Cleveland and why they continue to make so many mistakes in the field.

    #11 Daily Puck Drop Apr 03, 2024

    On today's Daily Puck Drop, Puck goes over last night's miserable Mariners game. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy play by the M's. Defensive miscues and poor at bats. Why does this keep happening at the beginning of every season?

    In case you missed it, Puck had John Canzano on the show yesterday and John dropped a report that Washington president Ana Marie Cauce will announce in the next six months that she will step down as president. Cauce played a major role in the collapse of the Pac-12. Puck asks Husky fans how should she be remembered?

    Puck also reacts to the hiring of David Riley, new mens basketball coach at WSU. Riley spent the last few seasons at Eastern Washington. Puck says Riley has one major goal right about of the shoot and that's to convince Myles Rice to come back.

    #10 John Canzano Apr 02, 2024

    John Canzano joins Puck every Tuesday to discuss all things college sports, life and wherever else our conversation goes. John is a 14-time Associated Press Sports Editors award winner and was named the number one sports columnist in the country in 2008. His weekly appearance is brought to you by Zeeks Pizza. Visit ZeeksPizza.com. The Northwest's number 1 pizza! Local ingredients and local craft beer!

    On today's show, Puck and John talk about their inspiration to go out on their own and what led to their decisions to work for themselves.

    The conversation then turns toward the Iowa and LSU game and both marvel at the athleticism, physicality and speed of the game and whether or not Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese can make like a "Magic/Bird" transition to the WNBA.

    John talks about the three-point line fiasco in Portland where the court had two different three-point lines and how the mistake happened, who is to blame and who the person was that tipped of the NCAA about the issue. Spoiler...it was a fan sitting in the 300 level who noticed the discrepancy .

    Puck then turns his anger toward Pat Chun leaving WSU for UW and John tries to walk him off the ledge, but Puck is having none of it. Puck calls him a "Benedict Arnold!" John also reveals that Washington President Ana Marie Cauce will likely soon leave as president and that an announcement could happen in the next 5-6 months. Multiple insiders and athletic directors are aware of the move, but not sure of the reason. John ultimately thinks this will be a good thing for the Huskies, because Cauce has stumbled as president in regards to athletics.

    They then turn their attention to Kyle Smith and his decision to leave Pullman and head to Stanford. Also, the Montana State hoops coach turns WSU down. How big of a problem is that for WSU? John thinks it's not an issue, but they need to find the right coach soon.

    Finally, what's the future ownership of both the Blazers and Seahawks? Jody Allen is the head of the trust and she must sell off all of her brothers assets. So, why has she not done so yet? John gives his answer....money.

    #9 Daily Puck Drop Apr 02, 2024

    On today's Daily Puck Drop, Puck gets into last nights Mariners win and the unbelievable defense displayed by Julio Rodriguez. Mitch Haniger also stole the show defensively with a play that was key into keeping the Mariners in the game. Emerson Hancock was very, very good in his debut. Ty France with an AB that shows signs he's getting better and improving on where he's been last few years. Scott Servais gets chippy with Aaron Levine. If he's like this not only a week into the season it's going to be a long year for him.

    Over to hoops, Iowa and LSU was sensational theater. Caitlin Clark does something that very few people in this sport can do and she should be applauded for it.

    Montana State hoops coach turned down WSU? Things are not good on the Palouse! UW could be losing a top hoops recruit. Find out who it is.

    The Masters is coming up next week and the legendary Verne Lundquist is calling it quits after 40 years. Absolute legend Puck reflects on what Lundquist meant to him and the sport. Finally, Puck teases his new golf podcast that will debut on Monday in time for the Masters.

    #8 Jim Duquette Apr 01, 2024

    Former MLB GM Jim Duquette from MLB Network Radio joins Puck for his weekly Monday visit all brought to you by Flatstick Pub.

They also talk about the red hot start of Juan Soto and why the Yankees are such a better fit for him and why he decided to focus on his defensive approach this offseason and they chat about the ongoing distraction that Shohei Ohtani is facing and how it will effect him moving forward with the Dodgers.

    #7 Bill Krueger Apr 01, 2024

    Bill Krueger of ROOT Sports stops by for his weekly visit with Puck to discuss the series with Boston. Despite acquiring players that were supposed to strikeout less, the Mariners have continued their problem from a year ago and it's even worse than a year ago. Why? Bill has thoughts. They also talk about the pitching performances from George Kirby and Logan Gilbert and what makes them so effective. Bill says there is something they both do that Luis Castillo could take advantage of.

    #6 Daily Puck Drop Apr 01, 2024

    #5 Daily Puck Drop Mar 29, 2024

    On today's Daily Puck Drop, Friday, March 29. Puck reacts to the Mariners opener. No doubt the highlight was the flame wielding trident guy! Castillo not sharp, but Mitch Haniger looked great. Pat Chun leaves for UW?! One of the most turncoat moves you'll find in college athletics. Puck wishes him nothing but disappoint and regret. Kyle Smith makes the right choice because it was the right choice for his family. Finally, Jamal Adams coming back?? Please say no...like, really, say no!

    #4 Thank you listeners from Jason Puckett Mar 27, 2024
