European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - December 29, 1989, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Friday december 29.1989 the stars and stripes Page 25 nil playoffs sack Happy eagles emphasize defense Suwanee a. A As a Good As Randall Cunningham is the Philadelphia eagles won t make it to the super bowl on offence alone. Our defensive line got us Here and if we expect to go to the super bowl they la need to continue to play Well for us eagles coach buddy Ryan said wednes Day after a closed practice at the Atlanta Falcons training Camp. The eagles 11-5, who play Host to the los Angeles rams 11-3, sunday in the pfc wild card game rely on a sack Happy defensive line of Reggie White Jerome Brown Mike Pitts Clyde Simmons and Mike Colic. The eagles ranked second in the nil in sacks with 62. The linemen had 47 of them with Simmons leading the Way with 15 a White with 11 and Brown 10. That kind of pass Rush has harassed quarterbacks into throwing ill advised passes which is Why the eagles led the league with 30 interceptions and 26 Fumble recoveries. In addition Philadelphia led the nil with a plus 24 turnover ratio. There s no doubt about it Colic a backup tackle and end said. If we get to the super bowl it s be cause the defensive line took us  i think the key to any pass defense is the pass Rush Ryan said. I Don t care How Many people you have in the secondary. If you can t put pressure on the passer you re not going to Stop them. Any quarterback in the nil can kill you if you let him sit Back there and throw the  speaking of the secondary Ryan said it was too Early to determine if Eric Allen the eagles pro bowl comeback would be Able to play. Allen injured an ankle three weeks ago during some lock room horseplay. He missed the loss to new or leans and was unable to contribute in last sunday s Victory Over Phoenix. It s important to have Allen  Ryan said. He s a pro bowl player and had been playing super football for us until he got Hurt. Last Cev we tried to Clyde Simmons left Reggie White Lead eagles. Gel him in there and he stunk up the joint. I can t play him the Way he played last  the eagles will be facing one of the nil s most dangerous passers in Jim Everett who threw for 4,310 Yards and 29 touchdowns this season. We be got to take him out of his game said Pitts. No i Don t mean put a Bounty on him or anything like that. I just mean we be got to take him out of his rhythm. We be got to put pressure on him and make him move around Back there. We can t let him get into his usual routine of just setting up Back there and throwing to Henry  Brown nursing a sore shoulder and bruised knee for the last three weeks is not impressed with the rams. Asked about the strength of the rams offence he said they be got the deep pass but that s about  reminded that the rams also have a talented run Ning Back in Greg Bell who rushed for 1,127 Yards and scored 15 touchdowns this year. Brown replied. Of they la try to run but we can Stop  offers Ganv a grateful to Host wild Cord game Houston a the Houston oilers did t win their first acc Central division title but they did get their second Home playoff game of the decade in the Astrodome. Jerry Glanville says that s Good enough for him. We wanted it to be Here no matter who we  the oilers coach said. We would have liked to win the division but we did t and we can t worry about that  the oilers 9-7 will play Host to the Pitts Burgh steel cars 9-7 sunday in he Astrodome in the acc wild card playoff game. The oilers resumed workouts wednesday after a three Day Holiday break. I think the extra Day off will help us comeback Glanville said. We were All drained after the Cleveland  missed two chances to win its first Divi Sion title closing out the season with losses of 61-7 to Cincinnati and 24-20 to Cleveland. You have a belter feeling if you won the division and we wanted to win the  said. But we did t make the rules. The teams with the Best record get in and we had the Best  the oilers were Hurt with injuries to defensive linemen in the game with the Browns Glanville  end Ray Childress has missed two games with a broken Bone in his leg. Starting nose tackle Doug Smith was injured during the game and his backup Richard Byrd has a recurring Back injury. By winning their division the oilers could have had an extra week off for those injuries to heal. Scoreboard from Page 24 National football conference East hew v9rti of int do Phi Howwa.
