Daily Puck Drop: Halloween over for me. Trick or treating before 4pm? DK on the trade block? Aaron Rogers done? Seahawks OL solution. Guests: Mike Garafolo, NFL Network. Lofa Tatupu, former Seahakws LB

On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett welcomes Mike Garafolo, NFL Network, his regular Thursday contributor and former Seahawks linebacker Lofa Tatupu. 

Puck starts off the show recapping the World Series and the disaster that the Yankees were as they self destructed and blew Game 5.  Now that the season is over, Puck shifted his attention to the Seattle Mariners and what is in store for them this offseason. Lots of holes to plug for the Mariners, especially in the infield and the free agent market is weak.  Will they be forced to trade one of their young starting pitchers? Puck sure hopes they don’t go down that road. 

Mike Garafolo, NFL Network joined the show for his weekly visit and Puck and Mike immediately jumped into the upcoming NFL trade deadline which will be on election night.  There have been rumors that D.K. Metcalf could be traded and interest has been drawn to Seattle for his services.  Mike immediately addressed those rumors and reports.  Who else could potentially be on the move in the NFL?   

Doesn’t it fee like this year in the NFL is as unpredictable as it has ever been?  Puck and Mike discuss the state of the NFL.  What’s the future of Aaron Rogers and the New York Jets?  If they lose again, will Rogers just simply tap out on the rest of the season?  Has his legacy been tarnished since going to New York.  

The show was interrupted because Mike couldn’t believe that some kid had come to his house at 1:30pm to trick or treat on Halloween!  They both agreed this violated the rules and regulations of Halloween and that you can’t knock on someone’s door before 4pm.  Mike’s Dad was at the house and came in to ask Mike where the candy was and then asked if he could just pay the kid cash instead of candy?  Garafolo’s wife also got in on the action and stormed into the studio to express her displease with trick or treaters starting this early! 

Once they got back to football, Puck asked Mike about the price tag for impending free agent quarterback Sam Darnold and would he be worth it for Seattle?

Lofa Tatupu, former Seahawks linebacker joins the show to talk about the current state of the team.  He sees one major issue with the offensive line and he thinks if they can fix that issue in their scheme they would be a much better unit. Fascinating take on the offensive line. 

Lofa also hints that the Seahawks defense could be too complicated at times for their current players, but he thinks they adjust fairly quickly.  It was only one game to watch Ernest Jones play middle linebacker, but Lofa came away impressed with his style, speed and physicality.  

Much was made of the spat between Derick Hall and Jarran Reed, did Lofa have a problem with what he saw on the field.  Lofa talked to Reed this week and shared what Reed told him and what he told Reed. 

They also touched on the body langue of Geno Smith of late and whether or not that’s been a problem.  Finally, they previewed the upcoming game against the Rams and Lofa touched in on his business ventures Savage Brewery, 1937 Cannabis Farm and his All Day Podcast. 

Finally, “Hey, What the Puck!?” Puck introduced his brand new membership called “Puck’s Posse.”   A membership to exclusive content that Puck will debut in the following weeks, however, it does not affect the Daily Puck Drop or his daily guests.
