European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - September 14, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Sunday september 14,1986 the stars and stripes Page 23 beefed up line gives chiefs new look by Michael Janofsky new York not the last Tim the Kansas City chiefs won More games than they lost was in 1981. Perhaps not coincidentally that was the year Joe Del Ancy the late running Buck set a club record by Rushing for 1, 121 Yards. Since then the chiefs have gone 3-6, 6-10, 8-8 and 6-10, and since they have my Roundup not found another Back of Delaney s Quality they have begun to address the attendant problem of the offensive line. It s 60 percent new this season with two players from the United states football league. Irv Zealman at left tackle and Mark Adicks at right guard and one from the Washington redskins Center Rick Don Mallcy joining Brad buddy at loft guard and David Lutz at right tackle. There is also a new line coach in Carl Mauck. Most coaches will Tell you that Iio unit needs More time to jell than the Offen Sive line. But from Early appearances the chiefs appear to have found a thickening agent. In their 24-14 Victory sunday Over the Cincinnati bengals the chiefs ran for More Yards 180 than in any Gam since a 17-16 loss to the jets in 1984. More significantly they gained an aver age of Yards a carry. There s a whole new attitude around Here said Adickes who played two years for the los Angeles express in the Usel. Coach Mauck has emphasized the running game right from the Start in minicams in practices and in a lot of our  the Quick answer is that there s More Talent now said Eatman a former player with the Baltimore stars who was widely recognized As the Best lineman in the Usel. That May not be the ultimate answer. But we have compre hended things rather quickly and played together rather  a better test of their development comes sunday when the chiefs play the so Hawks in Seattle. The so Hawks opened the season by squashing the Pittsburgh St clerk 30-0, holding the to 85 Rushing Yards in the process. Part of Pittsburgh s problem was attributable to injuries along the line. Three starters Mike Webster at Center Craig Wolf Ley at left guard and Tunch Ilkin at right tackle missed the game. The sea Hawks will not be so Lucky this time. Inter conference san Diego chargers 1-0 at new York giants 0-1 if her Schul Walker made life miserable for the giants on monday night wait until they Sec Dan fouls and his teammates. With a balanced Offens of 224 Yards Rushing and 276 passing the chargers took a 17-0 Lead in the first Quarter and beat Miami 50-28. The giants have a better defense than the dolphins but the chargers have a better of sense than the cowboys even with Walker and Tony Dorset. That could require a Strong game from Phil Simms who threw for three touchdowns in the 31-28 loss in Dallas for the giants to  Angeles raiders 0-1 at washing Ion redskins 1-0 these teams arc alike in that they rely heavily upon big numbers from their running backs mar Cus Allen who ran for 102 Yards in a 38 36 loss to the Broncos George Rogers and Kelvin Bryant combined for 140 inthe Victory Over i nil Adelphia. Still a i depends on the quarterbacks. Marc Wil son of the raiders threw for 346 Yards against the Broncos who have better defensive backs than Washington. Jay sch Rocker who tagged the eagles secondary for 289 Yards and two touchdowns is up against two of the Best cornerback in the business Mark Haynes and Lester National conference san Francisco 49ers 1-0 at los an Geles rams 1-0 considering Eric Dickerson s 193 Yards in the opener and quarterback Fumble new England quarterback Tony Eason ii loses the Ball after being hit by new York jets defensive end Joe Klecko in the first Quarter of an nil game thursday night in East Ruther Ford . Klecko s Effort was wasted however As the jets were offsides on the play and the patriots kept inc Ball. The patriots won the nationally televised game 20-6. The Clamp the defense put on the Cardi nals beating the 49crs should not seem inconceivable for the rams especially with Jeff Kemp expected to Start at quarterback for Joe Montana who has a Back injury. The 49crs, however have won their last five games in Anaheim calif., sometimes with teams not As Good As the current Bunch. Philadelphia eagles 0-1 at Chicago bears 1-0 Jim Mcmahon will miss buddy Ryan s return to Chicago because of a separated shoulder. But that should not Hurt the bears too much. His replace ment Mike Tomczak probably knows Ryan s 46 defense belter than the eagles. As a Rookie in 1985, Ryan s last year Ashe bears defensive coordinator Tomc Zak spent his practice Days running plays of the next opponent against the starting defense. If All inc eagles could do Sun Day in Washington was lose by 41-14, what can they Hope to achieve against the world champions Dallas cowboys 1-0 at Detroit Lions 1-0 the cowboys defense looked suspiciously sound against the run Mon Day night holding Joe Morris to 87 Yards. That s important to note in the context of James Jones who ran 36 times for 174 Yards in the Lions 13-10 Victory Over the Vikings. The Lions no have an idea of what Walker can do. His two touchdowns one in the closing moments sealed the cowboys Victory Over the giants and More than that showed How intimidating he makes the Dallas offence with or without Dorset who has a sore ankle. Green Bay packers 0-1 at new or leans saints 0-1 defensively they were identical sunday each giving up 31 Points. Offensively the packers were worse scoring 3, compared to 10 for the saints. But this game is still difficult Socall in that the saints arc at Home and they have a better Field goal kicker in Morten Andersen but the packers havea 10-2 Edge in the series including seven victories in a Row and one in each of the last two seasons. Minnesota Vikings 0-1 at Tampa Bay buccaneers 0-1 Here s a Slat for you combined the quarterback class of 83 Elway Marino. Blackledge Eason o Brien and Kelly threw two passes that were intercepted last sunday. Steve do Bare of the buccaneers threw seven in a 31-7 loss to the 49ers. The Vikings did t generate much of an offence either but they lost by Only 13-10 to the Lions an Tommy Kramer threw Only one pass to the wrong team. St. Louis cardinals 0-1 at Atlanta Falcons 1-0 belter control of the clock might have made winners of the cardinals. Instead they were on the rams 1-Yard line when time ran out leaving them losers by Only 16-10 that despite giving up 193 Yards to Eric Dick arson. American conference Buffalo Bills 0-1 at Cincinnati Beng als 0-1 the Bills a much improve team with Jim Kelly could give the bengals trouble Given Cincinnati s slug Gish offence and three turnovers in the opener. The bengals could not run against the chiefs a surprising development which left the bulk of the work to Boomer Esiason who is waiting lob come the league s next great Quarter Back. If Buffalo s pass defense does tighten up the jets Ken o Brien completed 18 passes for 318 Yards Esia son s future might turn up in inc present. Cleveland Browns 0-1 at Houston oilers 1-0 personnel experts around the league frequently mention these teams As among the most improved Overa year ago. In Houston s Case it s easy to see Why. The oilers blasted the packers in the opener 31-3, their widest margin of Victory in nine years with Warre Moon completing 14 of 21 passes and handing Oft enough limes 54 to enable the oilers to control the Ball for nearly 40  Colls 0-1 at Miami dolphins 0-1 both teams lost badly in their opine is. You might have expected As much from the Colts who fell to new England 33-3. The Colls Are not Likely to find things any belter in the Orange bowl where they have not won since1980. But history is not Why. Don Shu la s disgust is Why. In san Diego the dolphins lost four fumbles tackled poorly and gave up More Points than in any game is Nee 1966.monday night Denver Broncos 1-0 at Pittsburgh Celers 0-1 first injuries then the so Hawks made this an inglorious Start for the Steeles who managed 146 Yards and Zero Points in their opener. The also turned the Ball Over five times. Those Are hardly the kind of credentials that instill Confidence especially against the Broncos who May be the class team of the acc West
