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. They also discuss the 49ers window and look ahead to the Seahawks matchup with the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.  Lastly, Puck wraps up the Thursday show with, “Hey, What the Puck!?”   Money is not everything for everyone.  Washington State defensive tackle David Gusta illustrated that this week with Puck. Happiness is being where you are and in the present.

Washington State defensive tackle David Gusta joined Jason “Puck” Puckett for this weeks Coug’s Corner brought to you by the Cougar Collective and Flatstick Pub. Puck and David get into a wide ranging conversation that ranges everything from his upbringing, traveling to different countries, being accountable after the New Mexico loss, dislike of the transfer portal, impact of NIL, coaches tampering and his love for Pullman. David tells Puck that he’s avid traveler that has taken him to Japan, Singapore, Bali and Tahiti. David said it’s give him great perspective on life and how others live. How did the team handle the loss to New Mexico? David shares insights to how he and other team leaders reacted afterward. David admitted that his actions and behavior weren’t the best.  Tampering has been going on and David details what it’s been like to deal with coaches calling him to join their team.   Would David ever consider going into the portal or is he fully committed to WSU?  What about the impact of the NIL?  Lastly, David details his love for Pullman and that it wasn’t always the case, but as he’s gotten older it’s a town he couldn’t ever imagine being anywhere else.

On this weeks ‘Old Crimson, Jason “Puck” Puckett is once again joined by Paul Sorensen, Jim Moore and Jamey Vinnick from Cougfan.com The boys get right into the loss to New Mexico, which has now kicked them out of the College Football playoff discussion.  Once again the Cougars defense failed to deliver and Puck brought up the point that he would like to see a coaching change at the defensive coordinator position or at least have Jake Dickert take over play calling duties. They question the offensive strategy under Ben Arbuckle and wonder why he went away from the running game so quickly in the second half when it was working so effectively in the first half?   Should the Cougs incorporate more zone read for John Mateer moving forward?  And, again the problem with the Air Raid is their lack of commitment to staying consistent with the rushing attack. Dickert made headlines this week when he said Oregon State are not there buddies.  Some in the Cougars community have taken issue with what he said. Paul and Puck didn’t see the problem with what he said, but Jim did and they discuss. Lastly,  now that the carrot of the playoffs is over, what motivates the team for the last two weeks?

On Tuesday’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett is joined by his weekly guests, Danny Kelly, The Ringer and John Canzano, JohnCanzano.com.  Puck opens up the show discussing the comments from WSU coach Jake Dickert about Oregon State not being their “buddies.” Puck shares his thoughts that some fans that are upset with the comments are off base.  The Seahawks were gifted a favor in their win over the 49ers because the officials screwed up a timeout that should have been a penalty. Danny Kelly, The Ringer, joins Jason “Puck” Puckett to rap about the NFL, Seahawks, the Legion of Boom, Earl Thomas and fantasy football. Danny and Puck both agree that the Seahawks season is so dumb and fun at the same time and they went from a week ago thinking the season was over to now looking ahead to this week and knowing they have a shot at first place in the NFC West! Earl Thomas is back! Puck and Danny go down the rabbit hole of talking about the Legion of Boom.   Devon Witherspoon is the closest thing to the L.O.B. that they have had since that group was on the field.  Expectations have now changed for the Seahawks and it’s incredible to watch and follow this team week in and week out.  The Seahawks can be in first place this weekend which is incredible to think of! The Jets are still a disaster and Aaron Rogers has fired another member of the team.  Puck and Danny have put Rogers on “The Barge” out to the pacific ocean.  Where does Danny want Deion Sanders to land in the NFL next season?  Danny also answers fantasy football questions with “Waiver Wire Tuesday.” John Canzano, JohnCanzano.com joins Jason “Puck” Puckett for his weekly chat about all things college football.  They jump right into the discussion about Jake Dickert’s comments about Oregon State.  Was he in the wrong about what he said?Jake Dickert has other problems on the field, specifically in regards to his defense and offensive play calling. Puck this a change needs to be made with his defensive coordinator and suggests that Dickert take over the play calling. In regards to the offense, is the “Air Raid” truly the offense that Dickert wants? Does it properly take advantage of the skill set of John Mateer?Oregon survived against Wisconsin.  John points out that it’s a tired football team.  John also shares his thoughts on the matchup between Oregon and Washington in two weeks. John thinks it will be a blowout.  Will Jedd Fisch turn to Demond Williams against Oregon or stick with Will Rogers?Is the SEC truly the best conference in football and do they deserve the majority of the teams?Lastly, since Puck is off next week, John offers up his favorite Thanksgiving meals. Finally, Puck wraps up the show with “Hey, What the Puck!?”  Fans need to calm down about the Jake Dickert comments about Oregon State. He was right. He said the uncomfortable truth out loud and people don’t like hearing it.

On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett is joined by Tim Booth, Seattle Times and Curtis Crabtree, FOX 13 for the Ground Puck Seahawks Podcast.  Puck starts off the show without Jim Moore, who is out sick, talking bout the Seahawks win and that without a doubt it was a signature win for Mike Macdonald.  The Seahawks season was on the brink and they were able to pull off a great win on the road. Geno was great on the final drive and the defense looked like how we all thought Mike Macdonald’s defense was going to look. Puck switched gears and talked about the Cougars loss to New Mexico and once again the defense continues to be an issue. Puck thinks a change needs to be made with their defensive coordinator and let Jake Dickert just call the defense for the final two games of the season. But, Puck could sense a loss was coming and it finally did. Tim Booth, Seattle Times and Curtis Crabtree, FOX 13 join Jason “Puck” Puckett for the Ground Puck Seahawks Podcast brought to you by Georgetown Brewery. All three agree that was clearly the best win of the season and one of the best wins for the Seahawks in the last several years. The defense was no doubt the story from the game, but the performance of Geno Smith, especially on the final drive was quintessential the “Geno Smith Roller Coaster” experience! Offensive line looked better with Abe Lucas back and Olu Oluwatimi playing center. However, as the three discussed, the running game is still very much an issue.  Devon Witherspoon was everywhere and just showed why he’s such an unbelievable weapon for Macdonald.  The play of Tyrice Knight and Ernest Jones was phenomenal and illustrated why a move at linebacker was necessary. All of sudden the Seahawks have a legitimate shot to claim first place in the division next week.  Sports are dumb and terrific at the same time. Puck then returns and discusses the rest of the sports weekend with “Weekend Roundup.”   The dud that was the Mike Tyson/Jake Paul fight, however, the women’s fight was incredible.  Are the Steelers now a legit Super Bowl contender?  Drew Lock can’t catch a break and big deal the Bills beat the Chiefs. Prove it in the playoffs. Finally, “Hey, What the Puck!?”  Puck goes back to the Seahawks.  Sports are incredibly stupid and incredibly awesome at the same time. Most Seahawks fans and Puck included had written this team off, but they found a way to have a gutsy physical win.  A win that could very well define Mike Macdonald and the rest of the season.

On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett was joined by Jim Moore, the Go-2-Guy who jumps on the show every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  Also joining the show on Friday was former Seahawks linebacker Lofa Tatupu, PuckSports handicapper TroyWins.com and Chris Egan from KING 5. Puck and Jim start off the show talking about the news that Dave Sims is leaving the Mariners and will become the new radio voice of the New York Yankees. They discuss who should replace Dave on both radio and TV and Puck makes his pitch for Gary Hill on the radio side. What will they do on the TV side of things?Puck is worried about the Cougs game against New Mexico and Jim is starting to share those concerns.  They welcome Lofa Tatupu to the show to talk about the Seahawks game against the 49ers and how the Seahawks could possibly pull off the upset.  Lofa details his business ventures with Savage Brewery and 1937 Cannabis Farms. Lofa said he was surprised that the Seahawks moved on from their linebackers but understands the decision. Lofa sees a lack of physicality and play making ability from that group.  Lofa is also surprised by the sloppiness and undisciplined football from the players and the coaches.  As they turn their attention to the 49ers, the biggest question is how do you stop Christian McCaffrey? it will take the whole defense to focus and gang tackle, something as Lofa points out that they have been bad at this season. PuckSports handicapperTroyWins.com joins the boys to discuss the upcoming football weekend. Troy gives his “Lock of the Week” and all three introduce a new segment, “Dog of the Week.”  Each picked an underdog and will keep tally for the rest of the season.  They also discussed Friday’s fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. Chris Egan of KING 5 joined Jason “Puck” Puckett to wrap up the Friday show.  Egan and Puck talked about the greatest sports broadcasters in Seattle history with the news of Dave Sims leaving for New York. Egan chastised Puck and Cougar fans for always focusing in on the Huskies. Puck fired back at Egan that this has been a glorious year to be a Cougar fan and we love that the Huskies are struggling! Egan has an addiction to Safeway chicken tenders and needs help. He also details his love for $150 turkeys and why does he keep buying them?Friday marks the start of the 16-team high school football playoffs and Egan details his KING 5 “Big Game of the Week” featuring Decatur High School. They also promote their high school playoff preview show that featured them and Todd Milles of ScoreBookLiveWA and Jon Manley of the Tacoma News-Tribune. Lastly, “Hey, What the Puck!?”  Puck can’t wait to watch Mike Tyson destroy Jake Paul in their fight on Netflix.  Puck wants the younger generation to get a glimpse of how dominant of a fighter that Tyson was.

On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett chats with his weekly guest, Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network and Michael-Shawn Dugar from The Athletic stops by for the “Opponent Preview.”  Puck opened up the show reacting to yesterday’s show with Rob Staton, from SeahawksDraftBlog.com.  This was a miserable offseason for John Schneider, but how do they go about fixing it this offseason?  Some tough decisions will have to be made on current players.   But so far with Schneider running the ship it’s been rocky. Puck turns his attention to the Huskies and wonders why they would keep playing Will Rogers at quarterback and not hand the reigns over to Demond Williams. he plays a soundbite from his show with Elise Woodward and Jordan Reffett, “Puck the Huskies” asking them that very question.  Is making a bowl game that big of a deal?Can you believe what Mariners GM Justin Hollander said about Mitch Garver and Mitch Haniger?? Puck reacts to that and the report that the Mariners are interested in bringing back Justin Turner. Mike Garafolo, NFL Network, joins Jason “Puck” Puckett for his weekly conversation.  Mike has pulled off on the side of the road as he is traveling to Philly to cover Thursday night football between the Eagles and the Commanders.  Puck asked Mike a hypothetical question about whether or not Seahawks fans would switch Mike Macdonald and Ryan Grubb for Dan Quinn and Kliff Kingsbury…but, Puck says you have to add Jayden Daniels!   That question leads to the discussion with the Bears and Caleb Williams. Who will be the next coach of the Bears?  They obviously have to hire an offensive minded coach. Would Lincoln Riley of USC be the perfect fit?What is wrong with the Dallas Cowboys and Jerry Jones?   Also, Mike and Puck would be thrilled to see Deion Sanders land with the Cowboys…Amazing theater! Finally, Puck asks Mike, what is wrong with his Seahawks and what is going on with John Schneider?  Is he equipped to truly run this thing?Michael Shawn-Dugar, The Athletic. @MikeDugar.

Metcalf and consider moving on from Geno Smith in the offseason?Finally, Puck wraps up with, “Hey, What the Puck!?” Lebron James is not human and is a cyborg! Appreciate what he is doing at his age. You’ll never see it again.

Divish is once again substitute teaching at his former high school in Havre, Montana.  They open up discussing why catcher Cal Raleigh should have won the Silver Slugger Award over Salvador Perez.   The conversation then turns to their offseason look at the third base position. Currently the only internal option to play third base is Josh Rojas.  Ryan thinks they’ll bring Rojas back but he won’t primarily be the third baseman and that they will have to find another option there, most likely via a trade.  Ryan believes you could have a situation where Rojas and Dylan Moore will platoon at second base. Ryan also gets into the teams desire to bring Justin Turner back and their preference to trade Luis Castillo in the offseason. And, Divish contemplated the idea that Puck brought up about trading for Phillis third baseman Alec Bohm. Would that be a good fit for the M’s?

How healthy and effective will Lucas be?  That remains a big question mark. Puck tells Jim that he missed a great basketball game on Tuesday night between the Mavericks and Warriors with Klay Thompson’s homecoming.

This weeks ‘Old Crimson Cougars Podcast with Jason “Puck” Puckett and Paul Sorensen, Jim Moore and Jamey Vinnick, Cougfan.com.  They take a quick look back at the Utah State game and chatted how it was a relatively easy win.  Puck did wonder why John Mateer was playing late into the game, but understood that Jake Dickert probably wanted some style points.  The majority of the conversation surrounds the future of quarterback John Mateer.  How much will it cost to keep Mateer around?  Paul tells the boys that he has already heard that Mateer has a seven-figure offer on the table from another school.  Paul didn’t specifically know the school, but the poaching and competition has already started for Mateer. Can the Cougs compete on that level?  There is obviously a price tag for anyone and they all agreed that if Mateer receives over a million dollars to play football, than he should take that, because anyone would do that. They hope he doesn’t, but they understand why he would.  They chat about the upcoming against New Mexico and Paul and Puck try to convince Jim that it will be a much harder game than he thinks.  Jim is cocky about the game and doesn’t think Paul and Puck should be all that concerned. They wrap up the show talking about the job Jake Dickert has done and they all agree he’s done a masterful job of navigating this crazy football season and keeping his team focused on each week and not looking ahead.

On this weeks Cougs Corner, host Jason “Puck” Puckett is joined by Washington State linebacker Keith Brown.  Brown talks about his journey from Lebanon, Oregon to Eugene to Louisville and now to Pullman. Brown details his upbringing in Lebanon and why it has shaped him to be the player and person he is today.  Keith told Puck that when he transferred to Louisville he felt lost, but coming to Pullman he once again found his love for football and he credits Jack Dickert for that love. The Cougs have three games left in the season, how difficult is to stay focused on the one game at a time mentality? Keith does acknowledge the difficulties with that perspective but says it’s been their mindset all season long.

John Canzano, JohnCanzano.comjoins Jason “Puck” Puckett for his weekly look into college football. They jump right into the discussion surrounding WSU quarterback John Mateer. What would he fetch money wise in the transfer portal?  John estimates that the going rate for a top QB is over a million dollars.  Can the Cougs afford to keep Mateer around?  Does he get a sense that Mateer wants to look elsewhere or is he happy in Pullman?   Should Jedd Fisch move on from Will Rogers and start Demond Williams the rest of the season.  The Huskies are not going to a major bowl game so why keep playing Rogers?  John and Puck both agree that the NIL has something to do with the decision surrounding Rogers. What are the expectations for the Cougars and the college football rankings tonight and what type of chaos do they need in front of them to sneak in to the CFP.  John was on the scene in Utah covering the “Holy War” between Utah and BYU. He reacts to the scene where the Utah AD claims that the game was stolen from them. Utah does not have an exit fee and can leave the Big 12 any time they want, would they jump and come back to the Pac-12?  John dishes on those chances. Lastly, John and Puck talk about the passing of former Blazers broadcaster Brian Wheeler. A gentle and troubled sole.

Danny Kelly, The Ringer joins Jason “Puck” Puckett for his weekly visit talking Seahawks, NFL and fantasy football.  Danny ponders the question that Puck asked about John Schneider’s offseason.  Was this the worst one under his tenure?  If the Seahawks are headed to a rebuild in the offseason,  should they commit dollars to D.K. Metcalf and Geno Smith?  If they do move on from Geno, what are there options in the draft. Danny details the upcoming draft class for quarterbacks.  Puck asks Danny, if the Seahawks lose their next two games to the 49ers and Cardinals, would they be best served to lose their remaining games to get better draft position?  Danny makes a compelling argument against that strategy. It’s a Waiver Wire Tuesday, and Danny shares with Puck the best pickups in fantasy football.  They wrap up their segment with their weekly feature, “Barge of the Week.”  They put a player, coach, team or front office NFL personnel on a barge and send them out to the Pacific Ocean.  Danny put Jerry Jones on the barge and Puck went with John Schneider.

On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett is joined by Danny Kelly, The Ringer and John Canzano, JohnCanzano.com. Puck opened up the show asking the question, was this past season the worst offseason under John Schneider? With the release of Tyrel Dodson, aren’t the Seahawks just signaling that they are truly rebuilding?Danny Kelly, The Ringer joins Jason “Puck” Puckett for his weekly visit talking Seahawks, NFL and fantasy football.  Danny ponders the question that Puck asked about John Schneider’s offseason.  Was this the worst one under his tenure?  If the Seahawks are headed to a rebuild in the offseason,  should they commit dollars to D.K.

They jump right into the discussion surrounding WSU quarterback John Mateer. What would he fetch money wise in the transfer portal?  John estimates that the going rate for a top QB is over a million dollars.  Can the Cougs afford to keep Mateer around?  Does he get a sense that Mateer wants to look elsewhere or is he happy in Pullman?   Should Jedd Fisch move on from Will Rogers and start Demond Williams the rest of the season.  The Huskies are not going to a major bowl game so why keep playing Rogers?  John and Puck both agree that the NIL has something to do with the decision surrounding Rogers. What are the expectations for the Cougars and the college football rankings tonight and what type of chaos do they need in front of them to sneak in to the CFP.  John was on the scene in Utah covering the “Holy War” between Utah and BYU. He reacts to the scene where the Utah AD claims that the game was stolen from them. Utah does not have an exit fee and can leave the Big 12 any time they want, would they jump and come back to the Pac-12?  John dishes on those chances. Lastly, John and Puck talk about the passing of former Blazers broadcaster Brian Wheeler. A gentle and troubled sole. Finally, Puck wraps up the show with “Hey, What the Puck?!” Puck discusses the situation in Chicago with Caleb Williams. It’s why it’s so important to have the right coaching staff in place when you select a quarterback of the future in the first round.

Our Washington State Football State Championship Playoff Preview show.  Jason “Puck” Puckett hosts and is joined by Todd Milles, ScorebookLive.wa, Jon Manley, Tacoma News-Tribune and Chris Egan, KING 5. The 16 seed state football playoffs get underway this week and the four preview the upcoming playoffs.  They go over the favorites in each classification.  Can Lake Stevens get a three-peat?  Who can prevent another Bellevue title at the 3A level.  What makes Royal so dominant in 1A.  Tumwater is once again the favorite in 2A and it’s a wide open 4A.   Roosevelt is one of the better teams in the 3A, but they are currently under investigation for recruiting violations, how does that change things in the 3A bracket. As the high school football season winds down, they four talk about the importance of covering high school athletics and why those three do the best in the region.

Tim Booth, Seattle Times and Curtis Crabtree, FOX 13 join Jason “Puck”Puckett for the Ground Puck Seahawks Podcast.  They discuss the chances of Seattle trying to avoid a 6-11 finish. What would it take for Seattle to spend their offseason in a rebuild mode?  Curtis doesn’t think Seattle is that far off, Puck and Tim aren’t so sure. If they do decided to play D.K. Metcalf in the offseason, do they have enough money to improve their offensive line?What happens if they move on from Geno Smith?  Curtis argues that you should be careful what you wish for.  Geno is not the number one problem. Even though Geno is not the problem, they don’t have a future quarterback on their roster.  The Cardinals look for real and the 49ers have Christian McCaffrey back so winning the division will be that much more difficult. Does John Schneider have the confidence of the ownership group to make wholesale changes to his roster in the offseason?

On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett is joined by Jim Moore, the Go-2-Guy and his weekly visit with Tim Booth, Seattle Times and Curtis Crabtree, FOX 13 for the Ground Puck Seahawks Podcast. Puck and Jim start off talking about Puck’s visit to Pullman to watch the Cougs dismantle Utah State. Puck talks about the crowd in Pullman and celebrating his anniversary with his wife Saturday night in Moscow, Idaho! Since there was no Seahawks game to go over, Puck and Jim chat about where they are headed. If the Seahawks finish 6-11, what will there offseason look like? At that point, a rebuild should definitely be on the table for the Seahawks. The Seahawks need to revamp their offensive line, can they do that if they have too much money tied up with their skilled position players?Russell Wilson continues to shine for the Steelers, in fact, some in the media are already talking about Pittsburgh about being a sneaky Super Bowl contending team. If Wilson keeps this up he will win the NFL comeback player of the year. Things are unraveling in Dallas and Puck and Jim can’t believe that Micha Parsons called out his head coach Mike McCarthy publicly!  Also, because Puck and Jim are degenerate gamblers that can’t figure out how the Seahawks are only getting +6.5 against the 49ers. Lastly, Utah is upset about the officiating in their game with BYU. The AD of Utah was critical of the Big 12 and Puck says that the Pac-12 should call Utah immediately and try and lure them back to the conference! Tim Booth, Seattle Times and Curtis Crabtree, FOX 13 join Jason “Puck”Puckett for the Ground Puck Seahawks Podcast.  They discuss the chances of Seattle trying to avoid a 6-11 finish.

Great broadcaster. Great friend and a young broadcaster will forever be indebted to Wheels.

Chris Egan, KING 5, joins Jason “Puck” Puckett for his weekly chat brought to you by Fatzach’s Pizza.  Egan and Puck jump right into the issues with the Seattle Seahawks and just how far are they away from winning a championship?  Should they pay D.K. Metcalf and Geno Smith in the offseason?  Puck asks Egan the same question that Ryan Divish asked Puck this week, which Seattle professional team is the closest to winning a championship? The teams are the Seahawks, Mariners, Kraken and Husky football.  Egan agreed with Puck and Divish that the Seattle Mariners are the closest team in Seattle to winning a championship.  The main reason is that the Mariners have the best pitching staff in baseball and the best catcher in baseball.  Those other teams don’t have the best anything. Egan and Puck shifted the conversation to middle school sports and why their is a lack of coaching at that level, because Puck and Egan are now coaching basketball because their schools don’t have anyone that has stepped up.  Why are adults and teachers not coaching anymore?  The number one reason is that they don’t want to deal with parents. Egan also highlights a busy night in high school football as the state playoffs get underway.

On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett was joined by Chris Egan, KING 5 for his weekly visit.  Jim Moore, the Go-2-Guy and handicapper Troy West had the Friday off. Puck opened up the show by discussing a topic for Cougar fans, why aren’t you showing up to home games?  Puck asks the audience why they don’t go and gives his thoughts to why fans don’t attend games, especially fans from the West side.  The common theme from the audience was cost. Puck wonders what the school and community can do to make it more cost affordable to attend games. Chris Egan, KING 5, joins Jason “Puck” Puckett for his weekly chat brought to you by Fatzach’s Pizza.  Egan and Puck jump right into the issues with the Seattle Seahawks and just how far are they away from winning a championship?  Should they pay D.K.

Mike Garafolo, NFL Network, joins Jason “Puck” Puckett for his weekly visit from the Los Angeles airport.  Mike and Puck jump right into the NFL trade deadline and discuss how many teams called the Seahawks about trading for D.K. Metcalf?  Mike tells Puck that the biggest offseason storyline will surround the status of quarterback Geno Smith. Do the Seahawks feel he is the answer? If they do, what type of offer will be made?  If they decided to move on, what options are out there for Seattle and if they do move on, why keep Metcalf if you don’t have a viable solution at QB?  Puck asks Garafolo if the Seahawks will be in rebuild mode this offseason?  Mike disagrees with Puck on their current state.  Garafolo gives a health update on Christian McCaffrey, Dak Prescott and Lamar Jackson.  What trades made sense to Mike and what trades did he think were going to happen but didn’t happen.  The Carolina Panthers gave an extension to their running back…why?!

On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett rides solo until he welcomes Mike Garafolo, NFL Network to the show for his weekly visit.   Puck opens up the show discussing his conversation with Rob Staton, from SeahawksDraftblog.com on Thursday. What happens to the Seahawks if they fail in their next three games that includes the 49ers, Cardinals and New York Jets?  The organization should start thinking about a rebuild. Because at that point you are no closer to winning a championship how you are currently constructed. The Seahawks rebuilt back in 2010, so they have done it before. Rebuilds in football don’t take that long. But serious conversations need to be had that asks is it worth giving D.K. Metcalf and Geno Smith big deals if they don’t have a proper offensive line?Puck also touches in on his love affair for the Kingdome because Puck is wearing hat and sweatshirt from the Kingdome. Mike Garafolo, NFL Network, joins Jason “Puck” Puckett for his weekly visit from the Los Angeles airport.  Mike and Puck jump right into the NFL trade deadline and discuss how many teams called the Seahawks about trading for D.K.

John Canzano on Tuesday pointed out that Anne McCoy, the WSU AD and Dickert’s client agent have talked about a new deal about keeping him for the next ten years, but there are some reservations from upper campus about giving him that type of deal in today’s climate in college athletics. Lastly, “Hey, What the Puck!?” Puck reads a twitter post from a coach at UNLV that tells current high school football players should savior this week because it is most likely the last time they will ever suit up playing football.

On this weeks Puck the Huskies Podcast, Jason "Puck" Puckett and former Husky defensive tackle Jordan Reffett breakdown the Huskies win over USC and they preview the upcoming game at Penn State.  The boys gave Elise Woodward the week off. Puck and Jordan questioned the decision making of Lincoln Riley in the game and wondered why he didn't run the football more because that is the weakness of the Husky defense, not their passing defense.  Both agreed that time is running out  for Riley at USC and that they expect a change.  They took a deep dive into Washington's NIL situation.  Why isn't Washington competing more with the other college football heavyweights in that space?   UW is one of the rare schools in the country that has a storied history but also in a major city.  You would think companies would be lining up at the school, but they aren't. Why?Lastly, is making a bowl game important?  Jordan, as a former player, shares his thoughts.

Rob Staton, SeahawksDraftBlog.com, drops by for his weekly visit to talk Seahawks football with Jason “Puck” Puckett.  And, once again they get right into the play off the offensive line and how poor it was against the Rams. Puck asks Rob if it’s fair to question whether the Seahawks got it right with Mike Macdonald?  It was a topic Puck brought up yesterday with Danny Kelly of The Ringer and Rob wanted to respond. They both agreed that they didn’t know, which is ok to admit!   They also wondered and discussed that it’s not fair to fully evaluate offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb because Grubb is only getting to a fraction of his play sheet because of the issues along the offensive line.  They also discussed the trade market for D.K. Metcalf and if it makes sense in the offseason to consider moving on from Metcalf if they determined that they need to be in rebuilding mode.  Puck thinks an offseason rebuild needs to be on the table if they continue to lose games, especially the next three. Is it worth spending money on a receiver and a quarterback if you don’t have an offensive line to protect them?  How much times does John Schneider have?  probably more than you think.

Ryan Divish, Seattle Times is back to join Jason “Puck” Puckett, for the Mariners “Cold Stove” Offseason Report.  They quickly dive into the M’s biggest offseason needs, which are improving the infield and specifically second base, however, there is not much talent out there on the free agent market, nor do the M’s feel propelled to trade one of their young pitchers to upgrade that position.   Ryan calculated, along with Adam Jude of the Seattle Times, in their most recent “Extra Innings” Podcast, that the Mariners have between $20-25 million to spend on free agents for the upcoming season. Divish explains to Puck why he doesn’t think the M’s will trade one of their young pitchers and says if they do end up trading a pitcher, the most likely pitcher to be dealt would be Luis Castillo.  Divish asked Puck a great question during the show, of the major professional teams in Seattle and they included Husky football, and the Seahawks, Mariners and Kraken.  Who is the closest to winning a championship?  They both agreed it’s probably the Mariners!

On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett is riding solo as Jim Moore, who usually joins on Wednesday’s had to attend to a personal matter, but Puck rolls on as he welcomes his regular weekly guests, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times and Rob Staton, SeahawksDraftBlog.com Puck opens up the show with his criticism of local reporters who claim that the national media was and is just making up a story about D.K. Metcalf and perhaps being traded.  As Puck points out it’s the same group that claimed that Russell Wilson was never going to be traded and anyone that ever brought that up was uneducated and didn’t have a clue about the situation because they weren’t “local” and didn’t have boots on the ground. It’s just inaccurate to say that the Seahawks didn’t listen to offers.  They obviously didn’t have an offer they liked so that’s why they didn’t trade him, but to suggest that reporters like Mike Garafolo, NFL Network, who joins Puck every week or Adam Schefter of ESPN just simply made up a story is just complete nonsense and Puck can’t understand why they didn’t learn their lesson from the Wilson trade. Ryan Divish, Seattle Times is back to join Jason “Puck” Puckett, for the Mariners “Cold Stove” Offseason Report.  They quickly dive into the M’s biggest offseason needs, which are improving the infield and specifically second base, however, there is not much talent out there on the free agent market, nor do the M’s feel propelled to trade one of their young pitchers to upgrade that position.   Ryan calculated, along with Adam Jude of the Seattle Times, in their most recent “Extra Innings” Podcast, that the Mariners have between $20-25 million to spend on free agents for the upcoming season. Divish explains to Puck why he doesn’t think the M’s will trade one of their young pitchers and says if they do end up trading a pitcher, the most likely pitcher to be dealt would be Luis Castillo.  Divish asked Puck a great question during the show, of the major professional teams in Seattle and they included Husky football, and the Seahawks, Mariners and Kraken.  Who is the closest to winning a championship?  They both agreed it’s probably the Mariners! Rob Staton, SeahawksDraftBlog.com, drops by for his weekly visit to talk Seahawks football with Jason “Puck” Puckett.  And, once again they get right into the play off the offensive line and how poor it was against the Rams. Puck asks Rob if it’s fair to question whether the Seahawks got it right with Mike Macdonald?  It was a topic Puck brought up yesterday with Danny Kelly of The Ringer and Rob wanted to respond.

On this weeks ‘Old Crimson Cougars Podcast, Jason “Puck” Puckett is joined by Jim Moore, the Go-2-Guy and Paul Sorensen, All-American safety at WSU and Jamey Vinnick from Cougfan.com The boys jump right into the latest College Football Playoff rankings, where the Cougs come in at # 21 for the first week. Were they surprised that Colorado was ahead of them in the polls?What are the realistic expectations for the Cougars and the playoffs?  Puck, Jim and Paul get into the debate of whether they should be pulling for the Huskies in their remaining games of the season?  Paul and Puck are adamant that Cougar fans should be pulling for UW the rest of the season, but, Jim can’t bring himself to rooting for the Huskies.  It gets heated between the three! They welcome Jamey Vinnick from Cougfan.com to discuss the rankings and get an update on the team, including kicker Dean Janikowski, who suffered a broken hand, most likely coming from his incident with a San Diego State player. After Jamey leaves, Puck, Jim and Paul continue to discuss the playoffs and they try to convince Jim to root for the Huskies! They chat about Dickert’s future and react to a clip from John Canzano on the contract situation with Dickert and the fact that some in upper campus at WSU may be put off about giving him a new contract with the current climate.  Lastly, Puck asks Paul and Jim if the Beavers should lay down their sword when they meet on November 23?  Puck was obviously being sarcastic, but all three pondered how they would feel if the Beavers were the ones to knock the Cougs out of the playoffs!

This weeks Cougs Corner with Jason “Puck” Puckett welcomes WSU basketball coach David Riley, who is preparing for his first season as the new Cougars head coach.  Riley and Puck chat about the upcoming game on November 21 in Spokane featuring the Cougs and Eastern Washington. Proceeds of the gate will go and support the Cougar Collective.  What will Cougar fans expect from this years team, in which it will look vastly different from a year ago under Kyle Smith.  One thing you will notice right away is a more up tempo offense that has a very European feel to it.   Riley goes through all the new players on the team and gives Puck a scouting report on each one. They also get into the changing landscape of college athletics and that its geared more towards a younger coach, but the demands of a coach and his staff are vey different and it’s something that Riley hopes the NCAA can regulate in the future.

John Canzano, JohnCanzano.com, drops by to talk all things college football.  Do the Cougs have a realistic shot at 11-1 and squeaking into the College Football Playoff?What did Canzano think of Jim Moore’s thoughts about not rooting for UW, despite it benefiting the Cougars.  Puck reiterates how crazy Jim is for thinking this way. Jake Dickert has been consistent to wanting to only coach ten more years and he’s made it clear that he wants it to be in Pullman.  What is his contract status?  Jim has all the info from inside the building on his current deal and what a future deal could deal could look like. When USC and Jen Cohen decide to fire Lincoln Riley, who does John think she will call first?  Three big names and all with Northwest ties.  Finally, John and Puck talk about how society has lost its civility and its ability to communicate and interact with one another. Latest examples were the Jason Kelce incident at Penn State and Joel Embiid with a Philadelphia columnist.

Danny Kelly, The Ringer, who covers all things NFL pays Jason “Puck” Puckett a visit and they look back to the Seahawks loss to the Rams and the things they could have done better to secure the win.  They jumped into the decision to go for it on 4th down and the play call that they went with.  Can Ryan Grubb and the offense really get to their playbook if they can’t actually block?Puck asked Danny if after nine games it’s fair to question whether the decision to hire Mike Macdonald was the correct one?   The team has been as sloppy as they have ever been. Is that the result of coaching?What about the future of Seahawks GM/President John Schneider?  Under his tenure they have failed to address the offensive line and have had no plan at quarterback since Russell Wilson left. If they can’t turn this around in the next year or two, Schneider will find himself out of a job. Lastly, Danny answers your fantasy football questions as it’s “Waiver Wire Tuesday”.

On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett was joined by his weekly guests, Danny Kelly, The Ringer and John Canzano, JohnCanzano.com Puck starts off the show talking about the Washington State Cougars chances of making the College Football Playoffs as the first rankings come out on Tuesday night.  Puck reacts to the show on Monday where Jim Moore, the Go-2-Guy, would rather see the Huskies lose all their games rather than win, which would help out the Cougars.  Puck thinks Jim and any Cougars fan that thinks that way is crazy. You already beat them! If the Huskies beat Penn State and Oregon it makes the Cougars win look better. It’s an absolute no brainer to root for Washington. Danny Kelly, The Ringer, who covers all things NFL pays Jason “Puck” Puckett a visit and they look back to the Seahawks loss to the Rams and the things they could have done better to secure the win.  They jumped into the decision to go for it on 4th down and the play call that they went with.  Can Ryan Grubb and the offense really get to their playbook if they can’t actually block?Puck asked Danny if after nine games it’s fair to question whether the decision to hire Mike Macdonald was the correct one?   The team has been as sloppy as they have ever been.

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.

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. 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.

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.

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?

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.

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. Rundown00:00 Puck starts the show with the betting public backing the 49ers and Brock Purdy’s numbers as a favorite are insane 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.

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?

On the latest Puck the Huskies Podcast, Jason “Puck” Puckett is joined by former Huskies defensive lineman Jordan Reffett and Huskies sideline reporter Elise Woodward. They discuss Washington’s win over Michigan and how mistake free they played.  Can that formula carry over for the rest of the season.  Will playing at 9am  have a negative affect on them this week against Iowa?  Why does the Big 10 not have any good quarterbacks?  What’s the cause of that?Jordan and Puck debate whether the Huskies should be 6-0.

We check in with Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times for his weekly offseason look at the Mariners and other off the wall topics that Puck and Divish can come up with.  Best tacos. Best bourbon. Struggling golf games and modern complaints of 40 year olds.  Divish gives his reaction to the John Stanton interview on Mariners.com.  What didn’t he answer?  Is there anything that Stanton could have said that would have appeased the Mariners fan base?  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.

Rob Staton, SeahawksDraftBlog.com, checks in for his weekly visit to talk all things Seahawks. The frustration with the defense.  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?

On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett is joined by Jim Moore for the first thirty minutes where Jim rails against Jedd Fisch and him wearing a visor.  Puck and Jim also make another bet.

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. Rundown00:00 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.

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.

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.

Puck asks Jim if Julio needs to ditch his personal hitting coach in Florida and just work exclusively with Edgar in the offseason.  Jim also offered Julio some advice to how he should handle this upcoming offseason.

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.
