On Wednesday’s Daily Puck Drop with Jason “Puck” Puckett, Jim Moore is back after he was out sick on Monday and made his way down to Arizona to visit family.
They open up the show talking about the firing of Ryan Grubb and if they agreed with the move and what they will look at next for their offensive coordinator. Puck brought up the idea of Chip Kelly coming back to the NFL. How culpable should Mike Macdonald and John Schneider be with the firing of Grubb? Lastly, before Jim leaves, they chat about the new Tiger Woods indoor golf league that debuted on Tuesday night. Some good and some bad about the new venture.
(33:39) Rob Staton, SeahawksDraftBlog.com joined the show to discuss the firing of Grubb. It’s been two weeks since Puck and Rob have chatted so there was a lot to go over, but the main topic of the segment was the removal of Grubb. Rob and Puck disagree on the decision, but came to the conclusion that Macdonald and Grubb simply didn’t mesh personality wise and if that’s truly the case than a move was to be made. But, as they have discussed in the past, when you have a defensive minded coach, like Macdonald, shuffling through offensive coordinators can be a problem and this will be a significant hire for Macdonald and Schneider.
(59:22) Ryan Divish, Seattle Times, is back after a two-week holiday break to jump on and talk about all the great moves the Mariners have made this offseason! Wait, no moves have been made and Divish and Puck discuss what the M’s have in store with many of their options drying up. Will they trade Luis Castillo? What free agents out there can help Seattle? Are they players for Japanese sensation Roki Sasaki? How cold is it truly in Havre, Montana, where Divish currently resides?!
(1:25:00) “Hey, What the Puck!?” Puck discusses the Jimmy Butler saga in the NBA and plays a clip from Charles Barkley and the TNT crew discussing the drama. What’s wrong with today’s professional athlete?
