Today's Daily Puck Drop with Jason “Puck” Puckett featured his Wednesday's guests, Jim Moore, Rob Staton from SeahawksDraftblog.comand Ryan Divish from the Seattle Times. Jim dialed into the show from a Starbucks parking lot.

Rob and Puck go back and forth on the deal and the pros and cons of it. Rob is worried that it may prevent Seattle from further addressing their needs along the offensive line. Puck likes the trade because it fixes a major issue with their linebacking core. Good news for the Seahawks as Abe Lucas and George Fant will return to practice this week. We don't know the timeline for the return of Lucas but it's good news that he's back.  Rob wonders if Lucas could possibly move inside and play guard when healthy if they keep Fant on the outside or can Fant or Mike Jerrell play inside?  They both agree that they need the five best OL on the line at once. Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times stops by for his weekly Mariners offseason visit and this week they discuss the season of Julio Rodriguez.   Divish is currently subbing for an agriculture class in his hometown of Havre, Montana!  The discussion highlights the pressures that Julio faces , the impact of team dynamics on performance, and what Julio must do to improve as a player.

On today's  Daily Puck Drop, Jason  “Puck” Puckett and Jim Moore jump into the disaster that was the Cougars this weekend against Boise State , and reflect on the Mariners' disappointing season and the decision not to hold a formal press conference .Jim wrote a satirical press conference on how the Mariners end of the season presser should have sounded and it's hilarious!  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! 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.  Rundown00:00 Jim and Puck lament to the Cougars loss…Mariners season being over and the Seahawks taking on the Lions tonight in MNF10:54 Cougars still can't tackle 16:41 Mariners show themselves as cowards this past weekend 30:50 Why won't ownership acknowledge the Dipoto extension.

Bob and Dave are joined by Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times live at the VMAC to discuss the Seahawks ability to adapt, how the Seahawks new defense is better than last season, and what he’s seen from Geno Smith so far, they look at three very different NFL power rankings for the Seahawks following their 3-0 start to the season, they ask if Dan Wilson and Edgar Martinez should return to the Mariners coaching staff next season, and they hear Mike Macdonald’s tight lipped comments on their injury situation in Sweeping the Dial. 

Julio had a phenomenal weekend in Texas in spite of the Mariners losing the final game of the series. How much credit goes to Dan Wilson and Edgar Martinez? Later, they go through their Seahawks Takeaways.

On Monday's, Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett and Jim Moore, former hosts at KJR,  discuss their weekend , including Jim's visit to Pullman and whether or not it's ok to buy your kids a half-gallon of booze? Jim and Puck can't figure out how the Cougars won on Friday night, but somehow they won the game, and they delve into the Mariners' playoff hopes and Puck tells Jim that he was wrong for rooting against them.  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. 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. Jim Duquette, MLB Network Radio stops by to talk all things baseball.  They both marvel at Shohei Ohtani and Puck wonders out loud if he could get 60/60???   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.   Julio Rodriguez has turned his season around and a lot of credit has gone to Edgar Martinez. 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. Lastly, Puck wraps up with, “Hey, What the Puck!?” Puck acknowledges that Chris Egan was right about him being a bad fan and wanting the Mariners to lose games so the season would end.   Puck also announces the release of the PuckSports Mobile App which you can now download from the app store for iPhone users.  The android version for Google Play will be out soon!  You can now listen to the “Daily Puck Drop” live on your phone daily starting at 10am! Rundown00:00 Jim is back from a weekend spent in Pullman for Dad's weekend! 13:03 Jim asks Puck if it's ok to buy your kids a half-gallon of booze?21:16 Cougs somehow win on Friday and they can't figure out how?!30:44 Seahawks win an ugly game and all that matter is that they are 3-039:52 Mariners' playoff hopes on life support 44:43 Jim and Puck place $50 bucks down on John Mateer winning the Heisman at 33-1 48:48 “HawksNest” with Curtis Crabtree & Tim Booth 01:19:16 Jim Duquette, MLB Network Radio, on all things baseball and the Mariners collapse 01:45 “Hey, What the Puck!?   Puck admits that Chris Egan was right…He was being a bad fan!
