Nil draft selections depend on who s doing the picking by Dave Goldberg a football writer new York a buddy Ryan loves John Offerdahl. Bill Parcells thinks the linebacker is a Good player but says he is unlikely to pick him in tuesday s of draft. At a time when pro football prospects Are scrutinized As closely As a lab analyst exam Ines microscopic slides the difference of opinion Between two of the nil s top defensive coaches illustrates Why the draft is less than an exact science. Offerdahl is a 6-foot-2, 225-Pounder from Western Michigan whose outstanding performance in the senior bowl improved his projected position on the lists of both major scouting combines from a possible late second or Early third round Choice to late first or Early second round selection. He s a great football player and he fits into our scheme says Ryan who now coaches the Philadelphia eagles after run Ning the nil s top rated defense last year in Chicago. Don t get me wrong i Don t think he s a bad player says Parcells whose new York giants ranked second to Chicago in defense. He s just not for us. I think he might Wear Down in our system Over the course of a  Why the difference of opinion because every team drafts from a Mold that some times excludes top rated players from their consideration. This year s draft for example is deep i running backs. But beyond to Jackson who will be chosen by Tampa Bay with the first pick and Keith Byars who would rate right with Jackson if his foot were sound there s a major difference of opinion about the next 10. One team might prefer Neal Anderson another Reggie Dupard or Kenneth Davis Ronnie Harmon or Garry James. The same holds for every position. Consider the difference Between Ryan and Parcells in rating linebackers. Ryan is the architect of the "46" defense a major Factor in the bears super bowl Victory last year. Operating from a Basic 4 3, it relies on Quick and unrelenting pres sure on opposing quarterbacks and requires a Quick Middle linebacker who can cover sideline to sideline. Hence Mike Singletary the nil defensive player of the year last season who is just 6-0 and 228 pounds. Political problem haunts 88 games by Larry Siddons Seoul South Korea a a 36 year old political problem threatens to foil the aim of olympic officials to have All nations participate in the 1988 games in Seoul the head of the inter National olympic committee says. Ioc president Juan Antonio Sama ranch says that if a Resolution of the dispute Between North and South Korea Over where events of the 88 olympics should be held is not reached in june North Korea probably will Boycott the Seoul games. We Are arriving at a level where we have to reach agreement or no agreement Sam ranch said saturday in an interview. I think if there is no Resolution in june that to get a Resolution after this Date will be too  if that happens he said the North koreans will not come to Seoul for the olympics. He said he did not know if other soviet bloc countries would join such a Boycott. Sam ranch spoke As we Klong meet Ings of the association of National olympic committees and the Ioc executive Board Drew to an end. At a news conference earlier sat urday he said that eligibility require ments for three sports Tennis soccer and ice hockey should be resolved in time for the 88 Winter and summer games and that cities bidding to Host the 1992 olympics had reached a gentlemen s agreement to curtail the extravagant spending that has marked their campaigns. North Korea is demanding that it co Host the 1988 summer games and threatening to Boycott if the demand is not met. The Seoul organizers repeatedly have rejected the North Korea s stand. A third meeting on the situation i scheduled at Ioc Headquarters in Lau Sanne Switzerland june 10-11, and a Maranchi said in the interview that he would meet with a North korean representative in Lausanne before that ses Sion. During his stay in Seoul Sam ranch said he met with South korean presi Dent Chun Doo Hwan and sports min ister Park Seh i and came away More optimistic than when he arrived that a solution could be found. But at his news conference he also said that the North Korea South Korea dispute May be impossible for the Ioc to remedy. Our aim for 1988 is to get All 161 countries in the Ioc participating he said. Our main problem is North  East Germany and West Germany Long have competed against each other in International sports but Sam ranch said that the korean situation rooted in the military conflict that began in 1950, is different. Sometimes we can go farther than the politicians he said. But Here i am afraid it is a political  representatives of the 13 candidate cities for 1992 met saturday morning and agreed to get together again next month to go Over details of plans to Cut Back their multimillion Dollar campaigns. We All agreed to talk said Max Geldens head of Amsterdam s bidding committee. We agreed that we Don t want to do anything that would be embarrassing to the olympic  on eligibility Sam ranch said discussions were being held with officials of the three federations which allow professionals to be eligible for the olympics in their sports. The remaining federations bar olympic eligibility to professionals. An athletes code that could have opened All sports in the Winter and summer games to professionals won take effect until at least 1992, but a Maranchi said the delay was  can wait he said. We have had this problem since 1896." hence Offerdahl who shares some of singltary s roaming attributes and would fit right into the "46" Ryan is installing in Philadelphia. But there Are no 225-Pound linebackers for the giants whose 3-4 defense is built around a line backing corps that inter changes Lawrence Taylor Harry Carson Carl Banks Byron Hunt Gary reasons and Andy Headen. The smallest Carson is6-3, 240. The same holds True for other teams at other positions. The los Angeles raiders for example want offensive linemen 6-5 and taller to protect their quarterbacks. Those Quarter backs in turn tend to run to the classic pro style tall Strong armed and not particularly Mobile to fit an offence that likes to throw deep. Pittsburgh on the other hand prefers smaller quicker players up front. Guard Terry Long 5-11, 272, is the nil s Short est offensive lineman and perennial All pro Center Mike Webster is 6-1. Which works Best the Steeles Are the Only team to have won four super bowls and the raiders have won three. Take your Choice. Rudd drives thunderbird to sovran win Martinsville a.
