Daily Puck Drop...Cougs win, Cougs win, Cougs win!!! Seahawks grind out win. M's still have pulse.

Today’s, Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett  and Jim Moore celebrate the Cougs win in the Apple Cup!  Puck makes Jim give him credit for John Mateer!!! :). Jim and Puck speculate on if the Cougs can now run the table with their schedule. 

Curtis Crabtree and Tim Booth stop by to talk Seahawks on the “HawksNest.”   The top storyline is the play of Geno Smith and how that was without a doubt the best game he’s ever played in a Seahawks uniform.  They touch in on the play of the offensive line and try to figure out what they can do to improve the play of their guards, specifically Laken Tomlinson and Anthony Bradford.  They praised the way that Ryan Grubb called the game and decided to target his best players in JSN and DK, as they combined to have 30 targets in the game.  One concern from the game was the play of the defense in that they allowed 185 yards on the ground.  

Jim Duquette, of MLB Network Radio stops by for his weekly visit talking Mariners and other top MLB storylines.  Puck and Jim are amazed that the Mariners are still in the playoff race but Jim warns Puck and M’s fans that if they barley make it in or barely miss the reaction and emotions from fans should be the same and that is that this year was a disappointment.  Because the division was so bad and Houston was so banged up the Mariners should have rolled the division and they did not.  Jim tells Puck that it’s paramount that Edgar Martinez stays on as hitting coach next season because it’s clear he’s made a difference with the team and specifically Julio.  At the end of the chat, Jim says there is no way that Shohei Ohtani pitches in the playoffs, despite Dodgers manager Dave Roberts hinting at the possibility. 

Lastly, “What the Puck!?” Puck talks about his good friend Ian Furness being named the new television studio host for the Seattle Kraken.
