European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - January 23, 1981, Darmstadt, Hesse The stars and stripes january 1981 x i k i k k k k k k k i both sides of the Issue Eagle quarterback Ron Jaworski Hopes to have the hot continued from Page i the tight Are the key people plus Ted the for the raiders will wait and pick their if they get the Ball on the Kickoff there not going to do they Are going to let Guy punt deep to the cover the play defense and wait for the punt they Fig ure then they should have the Ball somewhere around Midfield and go to if it Doest happen that Way the first there will be the second time and the third when they Are ready to go for Points Ray mond Chester will be their they cannot expect to run Well against that Eagle Oakland running attack is so the raiders dont pull guards they dont they use what we Call Manonmany Power and against the eagles that wont accomplish they will have to throw the the for Are going to double cover Cliff Oakland 1 wide re and single cover Bobby the second wide with some help so the raiders must go to who will be open anywhere from 10 to 15 Yards deep Over the Middle or we can assume Jim Plunkett will have time to pass against the Eagle the Oakland offensive Dave Mickey Marvin and Henry will let Plunkett Jim can scramble when he has meaning run for first the raiders will watch the clock like they believe the clock is their they will run the Ball 35 to 40 times with Kenny King and Mark Vaneeghen and with the clock in but they will go upfield with the Plunkett below average passing statistics completion percentage Are Plunkett makes the big he is like the baseball player who hits has 40 Home runs and knocks in 100 runs compared to the hitter with 15 Home runs and 40 runs batted you win with the first Plunkett will not be going deep very Al Davis can talk All he wants about the raid ers history As a deep passing team but that a smoke it won t happen because Phila Delphia will cover everything Plunkett will go underneath the Eagle linebackers 8 to 10 Yards deep with anything he wont be in a the raiders Are going to wait for Good Field position or for the turn a Fumble or an defense begin with Hendricks and Lester the Philadelphia will have had two weeks to figure out what to do with Hendricks position is outside linebacker but he int always he will line up in the guard and tackle gaps or he will Blitz from the he will cover a Back on a passing pattern 15 to 30 Yards Blitz the quarterback or tip a what the eagles must decide is who going to Block Hendricks there and every they must be terribly aware of him at All times and that can be in the game and also using up time in Ron Jaworski can audible and Hendricks moves what then timeout Hayes is one of the few cornerback in the National football league who can cover any wide receiver one none without any Hayes can hit and the raiders have full Confidence that Hayes can cover Harold Carmichael All by which allows them to double up coverage the raiders will take Carmichael away from the Eagle Keith the tight will get some Yards and Oakland must Stop Wilbert Montgomery and Leroy Harris for but the eagles Are not going to win the game by running against the raid that would be playing right into Oak lands kicking Guy is the big Edge for the raiders de pending on How they use him and How he sets up their if Guys punts consistently put the eagles Back on their realize that a team goes 80 Yards to score Only once in 10 times in regular season in championship games it has to be one in Chris Oakland May be More accurate Short than but the raiders in tend to score from close to the Eagle the eagles Philadelphia plays to its ability always and 1 that a Pat on the Back for the Dick and his one of the toughest problems for us football coaches is to get All team members to believe they Are Good enough to the eagles feel that Way they Are going to have an excellent but if the eagles Are to win they must make certain things the key players As i see it will be Wilbert Montgomery and Harold Carmichael on Charlie Johnson on defense and Tony the offence first Down will be the key play for the a they must get their 4or 5yard gain for them to Montgomery will be running on those first but the raiders dont know where hell the Eagle disguise is to Start the play from any one of three formations the i a single running with the fullback on the Wing behind the tight end or the conventional two split if Montgomery can gain some ground and give the eagles Good Field outside their 35yard then Ron Jaworski can open up his that Means getting the Ball to the wide receiver whom they set up like Montgomery with Dif Ferent the importance of Carmichael and Mont Gomery cannot be the eagles need to Hammer Montgomery to the inside to make Oakland respect the if they then the eagles will become so intent on throwing the football to who will be Dou that they will take themselves out of their own game the offensive linemen must control Oak lands 34 defensive front by sustaining their blocks As Long As they can to give Montgomery a Chance to run where there is some the biggest improvement in Jaworski has been his patience and his belief in his team he knows he has some the eagles do not have blazing Speed with their wide but Carmichael has Ade quate Speed and Charlie Smith can get behind the eagles will try to set up a deep pass with some Shorter crossing patterns first and then go to Carmichael on a Post pattern with this receiver cutting Between the cornerback and the free they have hit Carmichael time and time again in that Fash play which the eagles always will freeze the Oakland inside linebackers and then Jaworski will try to throw Over Keith the tight is a clutch they try to get the Ball to him on thirddownand6 or 7 he does not have blazing Speed but he is a Fine Possession Type if they can work him in the open lanes Between the the eagles offensive line is better at pass Protection than at blowing people off the to say they Are More powerful than Oakland defensive linemen would be Leroy the had been mostly a All Philadelphia offence is an efficient one and it uses High percentage the eagles have not gained a lot of Yards in their games an average of 124 by 220 by passing but their pass completion percentage is interceptions and sacks Low 16 and 35 in 18 but the firs Down play is what will count the defense the eagles do not have to change they led the league in fewest Points they play the 34 defense in running situations and then bring in their 43 Rush on the it is important on passing Downs that they get pressure on Jim Plunkett on the inside with their so that Plunkett has to throw before he wants perhaps More than is vulnerable to that kind of pres Charlie the nose tackle in the 34 is their most stabilizing every team used two men to Block him Center and against the run Johnson will be a key per son in stopping Ken the Oakland half like likes to slide off and find his running Johnson has a Low Center of Gravity and marvelous hands that can reach the Blocker and toss him on the pass Claude an end and their designated pass likes to come from the outside but Plunkett Steps up in the pocket to avoid that kind of pass the Eagle line backing Crew is Active Tough people who they like to Blitz Bill the inside usually but not always on the Strong which gives them a Fourman Rush on passing or running Jerry their outside has become a big play the other John Bunting and Frank Are steady old the Herman Edwards and Roynell cover Brenard the free plays deep in Center Field and reads the quarterbacks eyes before he Randy Logan plays the run its a plus secondary in a league where there Are no kicking Tony the will be import his statistics dropped off from last sea son and his kickoffs were not As Max the has average statistics but he does kick the Ball High a set up the cover i special terms John Sciarra is outstanding As a punt re Turner and also As a coverage usually the first one Overall the eagles have had As Good special team performances As any Oakland quarterback Jim Plunkett wants a Lead to sit a running 1 the individual season statistics of

Adelphia eagles As tightly As he does the foot the eagles fourth year running who shredded Dallas flex defense for 194 Yards in the pfc title says he feels completely healthy for sundays super bowl Xiv against the Oakland he that he also has an in tangible role to play in Philadelphia i know a lot of responsibility is on but that says the 29yearold a lot of Guys look up to but i dont mind because i have Good work habits that they can pick i dont mind people looking up to for four games this his team mates were forced to look around for him in a succession of injuries kept him from a Quarter of the eagles regular season yet somehow the club managed to win each time without its leading the team played great while i was says who ran for 7 78 Yards and scored 10 touchdowns in addition to catching 50 the other players took up the Slack very Montgomery Hurt his left knee three Days be fore the Dallas playoff game and he says the trainers were working on it right up until game it took the 195pound Back just two to work on the ripping off a 42yard to run into the con winning that game has Given us a great Deal of he now we can just come in and play we never really
