Daily Puck Drop: Future of ROOT Sports. Seahawks first half evaluation. Guests: Mike Garafolo, NFL Network and Brad Adam, ROOT Sports

On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett welcomes his regular Thursday guests:  Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network and Brad Adam of ROOT Sports. It’s the final visit of the year for Brad as the Mariners season is over. 

Puck starts off the show before Mike jumps on talking about fans reactions and anger towards ROOT Sports and how they aren’t critical of the Mariners. Puck explains that they work for the team and no one who works for a team whether on TV or radio is going to be overly critical of that particular team.  

The Seahawks finished up the first month of the season and Puck loves where the team is at right now.  The offensive numbers have stood out and the defense, minus the Detroit game has been good.  On thing the defense needs to improve on is forcing turnovers. 

Mike Garafolo, NFL Network joins the show and immediately discusses the market for Davante Adams who has requested a trade from the Raiders.  The Jets and the Saints are the obvious landing spots, but Mike said keep an eye out for the 49ers because they tried to trade for Adams over the summer while dealing with Brandon Aiyuk. 

 If the Niners were to trade for Adams they would obviously be shipping Aiyuk out.  Does Tyreke Hill want out of Miami and does he want to return to the Chiefs.  Mike gives the lates on that situation.  Doesn’t look like Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers will play for the Giants on Sunday as he deals with a concussion.  Also, don’t anticipate to see Seahawks defensive tackle Byron Murphy against the Giants, but Leonard Williams will try and give it a go.

Brad Adam, ROOT Sports drops by for his last weekly visit of the baseball season to put the finishing touches on the season.  They address the Jerry Dipoto “press conference” over the weekend.  Do Mariner fans trust this ownership group?  Mariners have significant holes in the infield, how will they fill all those holes?

Lastly, what is the future of ROOT Sports?  Brad shares the behind the scenes emotions of not knowing whether or not he and others will have a job next season. 

Rundown

00:00 Puck opens up telling fans to lay off people that work at ROOT Sports.  You would do the same thing.   Seahawks first month grades.  Offense looks great and so does defense minus just one game.  Big stretch of games coming up for Seattle and all at home, just take advantage of the schedule. 

20:03 Mike Garafolo, NFL Network joins the show.  Davante Adams trade update. 49ers players for Adams? Tyreke Hill wants out of Miami?  Josh Allen vs. Stefon Diggs? Malik Nabers doubtful. Bryron Murphy not looking good. 

49:48 Brad Adam, ROOT Sports. Final visit of the season for Brad.  Do fans trust this ownership group?  Massive holes to fill in the infield for Seattle, how will they do it?  Jerry Dipoto’s “press conference” and the job uncertainty of Brad’s future and the future of ROOT Sports 

1:30:05 “Hey, What the Puck?!” The Seattle Mariners and owner John Stanton don’t understand how to actually win a championship.
