John Canzano, JohnCazano.com, joins Jason “Puck” Puckett for his weekly conversation on all things college football.  They jump right into the discussion surrounding the state of the Washington State Cougars.   Jake Dickert is at a breaking point right now.  He has to hire two new coordinators and has to guard against other schools from poaching his players, specifically John Mateer.  Speaking of Mateer, Canzano thinks Mateer will enter the portal and leave WSU.  John also offers advice on who Dickert should surround himself on his coaching staff and Puck brings up the name, Dennis Erickson. What was John’s takeaway from Oregon’s win over Washington?  Also, Demond Williams is a star in the making for Washington. Can the Huskies keep him?The story of the turnaround at ASU under Kenny Dillingham is why you love sports.  Has the sleeping giant finally awoken in Tempe?

The Daily Puck Drop with Jason “Puck” Puckett is back after taking a Thanksgiving break!  Puck is joined by Jim Moore, who always joins Puck on Monday, Wednesday’s and Friday’s. Puck and Jim go back and forth between the Seahawks crazy win over the New York Jets and the WSU Cougars collapse to end the season.  Some fans are calling for Jake Dickert to be fired. Puck and Jim both agree that they don’t think and don’t want to see Dickert removed, nor do they want him to take another job. The Cougars did make a move by firing their defensive coordinator Jeff Schmedding.  What will they do if Ben Arbuckle decides to leave?  He’s been rumored for the offensive coordinator opening at Oklahoma.  The Seahawks won a wild game in New York and their defense was the story, especially Leonard Williams, who is playing at an all-time level right now.  The Seahawks sit at 7-5 and first place in the NFC West.  Despite the win, there was some negativity coming out of the game, in regards to their special teams and their offense.   Ryan Grubb is under a lot of fire from the fanbase, is it warranted?  How much is it play calling and how much of the blame is on the offensive line?The Ground Puck Podcast with Tim Booth, Seattle Times and Curtis Crabtree, FOX 13, joins Jason “Puck” Puckett to discuss the Seahawks crazy win over the Jets and they look ahead to the rest of the season.  They discuss the phenomenal play of the defense and the play of Leonard Williams.  The Ernest Jones trade might go down as the second best trade in franchise history for John Schneider.  They get into the issues in the red zone and short yardage situations with Ryan Grubb.  Can Grubb get to all they plays he wants if his offensive line can’t block?  Five games remain in the season and the Seahawks will need to get to 10 wins on the season to win the division.  Can they get three more wins in the final five?   If they make the playoffs, what is the commentary about the decision to replace Pete Carroll with Mike Macdonald?Finally, “Hey, What the Puck?!” Puck says firing Jake Dickert would be the wrong move. He’s a good coach that can improve. He needs to adapt, but moving on from him would be a mistake.

However, there is not much clarity from the team and what exactly it will look like, which leaves many who work for the network in the dark.  Jim and Puck discuss how unfair it is for the M’s still keep their employees in the lurch of what their plans are. They wonder why the Mariners don’t just steal a play out of the Kraken playbook and go on local television and then offer a streaming service.   The Seattle Times also had a story about the wild success that the Kraken are having with their Kraken Hockey Network and so far early in the season it has been a runaway success compared to being on ROOT Sports the last few years.  They also turn their attention to what the Mariners will do in free agency and the likelihood that they will sign Justin Turner and or Carlos Santana.  Puck doesn’t think a serious organization brings back a 40 and 39 year old, however, Jim disagrees and likes what Turner brings. PuckSports handicapper TroyWins.comjoins Puck and Jim to go over all the football bets for the weekend and at the end they give our their “Dogs of the Week.” Chris Egan, KING 5, joins Jason “Puck” Puckett for his weekly chat.  They navigate Thanksgiving food traditions, high school football playoffs, Thanksgiving vs. Christmas and they discuss the funeral of former sportscaster Tony Ventrella. Egan and Puck have a spirited back and forth over the debate of Christmas and Thanksgiving.

How much do the Seahawks need Smith and how much does Geno need the Seahawks?Where will Aaron Rogers end up next season?  Any chance he could land in San Francisco?  Will there be a number of suitors for him?Are Deion Sanders and his son a package deal to the NFL?  If they are, where?  Was the Bills win over the Chiefs important?  Did the Steelers once again offer the blueprint how to beat Lamar Jackson and the Ravens?The “Dugar Report” with Michael-Shawn Dugar, The Athletic as he joins Jason “Puck” Puckett for his brand new weekly appearance taking the latest with the Seattle Seahawks.  Mike and Puck get right into the win over the 49ers and what was the single biggest reason for the win. Mike told Puck that Mike Macdonald offered a different tone than what Pete Carroll would always preach.  It was great to have Abe Lucas back on the field and you could tell immediately that he was a difference maker and he raised the play of the entire offensive line. Geno Smith continues to be hot topic with fans and media and showed again with his last second drive why he continues to be such a polarizing topic and player. Mike gets into a very interesting discussion with Puck on the team building philosophy of Mike Macdonald and how it’s different than the rest of the league thinking  and how it harkens back to an older style of football. They also discuss the 49ers window and look ahead to the Seahawks matchup with the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.  Lastly, Puck wraps up the Thursday show with, “Hey, What the Puck!?”   Money is not everything for everyone.  Washington State defensive tackle David Gusta illustrated that this week with Puck.
