Softy H1 - Chuck Knox passes / Felix has another rough outing / Cracks in the M's' dam / Dave Krieg remembers Chuck Knox




Dave 'Softy' Mahler and Dick Fain show

Summary: This weekend, Seahawks coaching legend Chuck Knox passed away at the age of 86. Some of Softy's earliest sports memories are of Knox's Seahawks teams of the 1980s. Knox, like his Hawks coaching counterparts Holmgren and Carroll, turned the team around in his first year, taking them all the way to the AFC Championship. We seem to be talking about it a lot this year, but Felix once again wasn't very impressive on the mound this weekend. It looks like we paid for a long-term ace, but only got three years of ace-level pitching. Speaking of the Mariners, the team is still five games above .500, but cracks in the dam are starting to show. Paxton seems to be the only consistent starter right now, and the bullpen has been struggling. Now, the one aspect of the team that seemed to be carrying the team, the offense, has taken a hit with Cano being injured. Hopefully everyone else will step up and the team will be in a solid place when he gets back. Former Seahawks quarterback Dave Krieg joins the program to remember his former coach, Chuck Knox.
