That is the big question in the AFC this season The quarterback quagmire faced by head coach Raymond Berry must be solved. Does he start incumbent Tbny Eason who led the Patriots in the last four games of the season and into the Super Bowl'.’ Or does he star veteran Steve Grogan who rallied the them for six straight victories in the middle of the last season? Berry has named Eason starter for now Third string quarterback Tim Ramsey looked impressive in Saturday's Flail of Fame game (254 yards pass ing). hut Berry stated he will remain as just the third string quarterback The Patriots defense, which produced an AFC-high 47 turnovers last season, is rock solid with linebackers Steve Nelson and Andre Tippett, cof- nerhack Raymond Clay bom, and safety Fred Marion The offensive line lost super veteran John Hannah (L3 years) to retire ment His leadership will be sorely missed on a team that was said in the off season to have a drug problem •Miami Dolphins - If the team that made it to the Super Bowl after the 1984 season (a 38 16 loss to the San Francisco) wishes to return, they must patch up their defense In the 28-team NFL, the Dolphins ranked 23rd overall in the 1985 season Miami hopes those problems will he solved by top draft pick John Offerdahl, a linebacker from Western Michigan The Dolphins also need help for the defensive line and running attack The front three of Mike Charles, Doug Betters, and Kim Bokampcr led the Dolphins to just 38 sacks (19th in die NFL ) The weak running game is led by Tbny Nathan (667 yards in 1985) Bui the rushing game as a whole was only 17th in the league The passing game is still explosive with Dan Marino throwing to wide recicvcrs Mark Clayton. Mark Duper, and Nat Moore -Indianapolis Colts Probably the best thing about the Colts is their pun ting average leader Unfortunately punting doesn't win games However, the Colts should improve on last year’s 5-11 record with the acquisition of Dallas Cowboy quarterback Gary Hogeboom and the drafting of another quarter back. Jack Trudeau (Illinois) -Buffalo Bills - Will the Bills finish at 2 14 for the third straight year Pro hably not as there is no way for tem to go but up The Bills desperately need a solid quarterback _ „ BACK r K TO SCHOOL \ C « o \ 'W ^ 1 . — Starts August 14th «4 S* 'e ! 5 > i J!
