I\u2019m not the only one that\u2019s upset at the Gold Glove nominations in American League. Kansas City players didn\u2019t get one, and boy are they ticked. Catcher Salvador Perez they say is the best defensive catcher in the league, and third baseman Maikel Garcia and shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. should have been nominated because of their defensive ability. They think the voting is a bad joke. I have my own criticism. Yes, Julio Rodriguez was nominated for his play in centerfield. I can accept that, but third baseman Eugenio Suarez was the best the Mariners have ever had at the hot corner. I covered the team for 30 years and have watched their games since on TV and Suarez is amazing. He\u2019s great. I agree with KC players, the voting is a bad joke. You couldn\u2019t be better than Suarez\u2026 Geno Smith is proving what I have thought all along. He\u2019s a solid backup NFL quarterback. His weakness is he doesn\u2019t appear to have a working radar to sense when he\u2019s about to be creamed. His mobility is limited. For heaven sakes, to survive in the NFL a quarterback has to be able to escape the pocket and throw accurately on the run. That\u2019s not Smith. He\u2019s often a sitting duck back there when defenders break through the offensive line. Heck, as mobile as Russell Wilson was, he was sacked often. But Smith is no Wilson when it comes to being mobile. I don\u2019t have an answer, but Drew Lock may not be better. Lock\u2019s history is littered with turnovers. As always in football, the offensive line is the key. Without an effective OL you are in trouble. I think the Seahawks\u2019 defense is the best I have seen it since the Legion of Boom. Is it good enough to win most of their games? Doubtful. You have to score to have a good chance. Right now, I would say the Hawks are the middle of the pack team. Good, but not good enough. \u2026 With a new athletic director \u2013 Troy Dannen \u2011 I would be very surprised that Mike Hopkins will be around after this upcoming Washington Husky basketball season. He\u2019s a goner. All I can say is, it\u2019s about time. \u00a0Is m<\/p>\n
