European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - December 28, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 22 a the stars and stripes saturday december 28, 1991 today a pro footballs Ottenheimer does not envy Shell by Craig Horst Kansas City to. Apr Kansas City coach Marty sch Ottenheimer probably has a Good idea what raiders coach Art Shell is going through with the biggest game of the year coming up. There is a quarterback who Isnit spectacular and tends to make mistakes but at least has years of experience. And there is a a 22-year-old Rookie who stunned the league sunday by passing for 243 Yards and three touchdowns in his first nil Start. Do you Start Jay Schroeder or Todd Marinovich on saturday in an acc wild card game against the chiefs Quot in a glad i done to have to make that decision a sch Ottenheimer said. The Only thing sch Ottenheimer can do is prepare for both. At least the chiefs have seen what Marinovich can do. A we can anticipate from a week ago Quot sch Ottenheimer said. A i would think we came out of it the Best we could. We came out of it with a win and we came out of it knowing something about Todd. A the has accuracy a very Quick release. Probably the most impressive thing about the whole thing is the poise of the Young Man. In be got to think if he a playing la. Raiders Atlanta 9-7 10-6 at a Kansas City new Orleans 10-6 11-5 immediately following on seb to and an to for us in a feeling pretty  Marinovich threw touchdown passes of 26 and 23 Yards to Tim Brown and hit Ethan Horton with a 7-Yard scoring pass. Not blessed with a Cannon Arm Marinovich has such a soft touch that he seems to be almost lobbing it to the receiver. His longest pass was the 26-yarder to Brown in the first Quarter. The raiders line gave Marinovich perfect Protection and he was not sacked. Derrick Thomas the chiefs leading Sacker with 131/2, was double and triple teamed and never got close to the quarterback. Neil Smith levelled Marinovich with a hard hit but it came an instant after he had released the Ball. Marinovich a inexperience May have caused the raiders to waste timeouts in the second half but he seemed to play with much More maturity than could be expected of someone who played Only two years in College. Sch Ottenheimer agreed it May be tougher for the Young quarterback to go from playing in front of a wildly supportive Home crowd to Arrowhead stadium where the fans consider the raiders As the chiefs biggest rivals. But there is that poise Factor. A potentially it will be More difficult for him a sch Ottenheimer said. A communication is so important. It becomes that much harder to communicate with All of that crowd noise. A but obviously he a got poise. He understands what they Are trying to do very very Well. His physical attributes Are that he is very accurate and he has a very Good touch on the  fires up Falcons enemy by Vito Stellino the Baltimore Sun when the Dallas cowboys were fighting to keep a 31-27 Lead Over the Atlanta Falcons in the fourth Quarter of the Rogu Lar season finale on sunday they needed some motivation. The game was meaningless to the cowboys while the Falcons could have won the National football conference West title if they could have scored a touchdown from the cowboys 16 in the final minute of play. But the cowboys got All the motivation they needed when they looked at the Atlanta sideline. A we looked Over saw him and we All said a no Way no Way we re going to let him win a a said Dallas linebacker Jack Del Rio. A we done to want to have to listen to his stuff All week. We did no to want to have to hear him on esp every  the a the Quot Del Rio meant is Jerry Glanville the Black Clad Falcons coach who never met a controversy he did no to like. Dallas nose tackle Tony Casillas who was traded by the Falcons to the cowboys this year said a your motivation was who the Atlanta Falcons Are and what they represent. It would have made us sick to see that Guy across the sideline looking ridiculous win the  the cowboys held on and Cost the Falcons the pfc West title the new Orleans saints won it by beating the Phoenix cardinals later in the Day and then tried to get in the last word after the game. Referring to the fact that the Falcons listened to a private concert by Jerry Jeff Walker the night before the game coach Jimmy Johnson of the cowboys said Quot while we spent saturday night working in meetings the Falcons were listening to country Western music. I guess some teams prepare differently than  Johnson did no to mind needling Glanville because the Atlanta coach likes to Point out How fortunate Johnson was to be hired by his College Roommate Jerry Jones when Jones bought the cowboys. The gloating the cowboys did after the game shows now Glanville manages to rile his opponents. Not that they managed to shut Glan Villers Mouth. After the game he brushed off the loss. A the worst thing we can do is let a loss spoil the season we had. I  be prouder of this team a he said. Glanville has to be Given his due. Even though the Falcons lost the division title they re in the playoffs and will meet the new Orleans saints saturday in the super dome. If the Falcons win that one the Falcons split with the saints in the regular season with the Road team winning each game  returr1 to Frk stadium to play the Washington redskins on Jan. 4. The last time the Falcons were at Frk stadium on nov. 10, the redskins blew them out 56-17. Even though cornerback Dion Sanders was Hurt Glanville tried to play his usual blitzing defense against the redskins. That left the Falcons Cor a cracks isolated one on one with the redskins posse a mismatch that enabled Mark Rypien to throw six touchdown passes. Not that Glanville second guessed himself after the game. Instead of rethinking the Way he played the redskins he accused their offensive line of holding. A their offensive line tackles better than our secondary a he said. Glanville did concede the Falcons play a High risk defense. A if the throw is perfect if the Protection is Good you have a shot at getting us a he said. Glanville then added the Zinger. A it helps to have people having to Block you legally. That a a real plus. A lot of things work better when we re defensive linemen not being tackled a he said. That a Why nobody believes the redskins when they say they done to care which which team  play in their playoff opener.  be rooting for the Falcons to beat the saints because they a like another crack at that Falcons defense and Glanville. That a better than playing the Dallas Chicago Winner. As usual Glanville has been talking this week in preparation for the saints game. Since neither team normally Sells out fans from Atlanta and new Orleans often make the 500-mile drive to the opposing City for the saints Falcons games. Its different this time because the playoff game in the super dome in a sellout so there were virtually no tickets available for Atlanta fans. That a not unusual in the playoffs but Glanville  let that pass. A the saints fans you have to love. They be been so gracious they be offered our City Over 100 tickets so Well have people there a he said. Of yes then there a the football. Running Back Steve Broussard the Falcons leading rusher was put on injured Reserve after suffering a hairline fracture of St a a of i Quot by up his team As Mil As the opposition with his and a wild cart Falcons have backed up his talk this year with a 10 6 record his leg two weeks ago. Hell be replaced by Erric Pegram and Mike Rozier. But then Glanville does no to worry much about football. He has too Many other things on his mind. Before last weeks game against Dallas he was searching for the a electrician Guy at Texas stadium. A where is our electrician Guy a he bellowed at stadium workers. A any Way we can get this music in Here turned up louder a win or lose Glanville a Falcons always March to a Lively beat
