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. 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?!
After Mike’s appearance, Puck chats about a topic that Ryan Divish, Seattle Times, brought up on his weekly show on Wednesday about which professional team in Seattle is the closest to winning a championship? Both Puck and Divish agree on their answer and it’s really not close. Puck also touches in on the future of WSU head coach Jake Dickert. 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.
