Between AStM St Villa Maria
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Richie Pe-
titbon answered the question with
the patience of someone who has
been listening for more than 30
years in pro football.
“No,” said Washington’s defensive
coordinator, he didn’t expect the
Redskins would get the eight sacks
on Denver’s John Elway in Sunday’s
Super Bowl that they got on Minne
sota’s Wade Wilson in the NFC
championship game.
“I don’t mean to say this the
wrong way,” Petitbon said. “Wade
Wilson’s a good quarterback. But
he’s not in the same class with John
Elway.”
Thus the questions:
How can the Redskins keep Elway
from dodging and dancing and put
ting up somewhere between 27 and
40 points, as he has done almost all
season? In shorthand, how do you
play D on the E?
The answer: You don’t. You try to
outscore him.
“You know going in that he’s
going to be on the move,” said
Charles Mann, who with Dexter
Manley presents Elway with as quick
a defensive end tandem as he has
faced in his five NFL seasons.
“We know for sure that our
tongues are going to be hanging out
chasing him.”
Players described Wednesday’s
workout as one of the hardest-
hitting ever.
“Guys were getting hit out of
bounds,” Mann said. “I mean, those
were our own teammates.
One common method of con
taining Elway is the “spy” system —
assigning a defender, usually a line
backer, to shadow Elway and then
attack when the elusive quarterback
breaks out of the pocket. The objec
tive: to bring him down or make him
hurry his pass.
Although Petitbon and Head
Coach Joe Gibbs were not tipping
their hand, that is not likely to hap
pen Sunday.
“A lot of teams do it,” Gibbs said.
“The problem with it is that it takes a
man out of your defense, either out
of the pass coverage or out of your
pass rush?
What Washington is more likely to
do is to use its size advantage over
the Denver offensive line to pressure
Elway and keep him in the pocket
rather than give him the five or six
seconds he gets when he scrambles.
That usually allows Mark Jackson,
Ricky Nattiel, Vance Johnson or
Steve Sewell to shake free downfield.
The Redskins also have the ad
vantage of using a four-man line, an
alignment Denver sees little of in the
AFC, where the 3-4 is prevalent.
One possibility is to use the speed
of Manley and Mann to contain El
way outside and hope that 295-
pound Dave Butz and 270-pound
Darryl Grant can overpower 265-
pound guards Stefan Humphries
and Keith Bishop to keep him from
shooting up the middle.
The Broncos’ smallish defense has
worn down in their last two big
games, surrendering 30 points to the
New York Giants in the second half
of last year’s Super Bowl and 28 to
the Browns in the 38-33 AFC title
game
