Chiefs defense aims to contain
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Twice a year, Kansas City coaches urge their defense to contain Denver quarterback John Elway in a firm pocket, not letting him step forward away from pressure to get his passes off.
This year, finally, the Chiefs may have the defensive scheme to do it.
Among other things, the attack defense installed under the direction of Gunther Cunningham has greatly increased inside pressure. Tackles Dan Saleumua and Joe Phillips are thriving under the new philosophy that calls for them to charge up field and attack the offense without waiting to read the offensive play.
This may work perfectly Sunday in Denver's Mile High Stadium when Elway, operating out of the shotgun offense, starts darting away from the outside pressure supplied by such familiar pass-rush experts as defensive and Nell Smith and linebacker Derrick Thomas.
"I think we've always been pretty good rushing the passer," coach Marty Schottenheimer said. "But I think probably inside we're better than we've been in the past, so in that regard we might be better prepared."
A year ago, Saleumua and Phillips totaled just four sacks between them. Through seven games this season, as the Chiefs compiled a 6-1 record that ties Dallas for best in the NFL, they have 51/2.
"I feel stronger in this defense," said Saleaumua. "It's pretty simple, really. Don't worry about anything but getting to the quarterback."
Schottenheimer noted that Elway seemed comfortable working out of the shotgun formation in Denver's 27-0 victory over Oakland on Monday night.
"He can see everything," Schottenheimer said. "You can blitz John Elway, and he sees it coming. They brought a blitz the other night. John knew exactly what was happening. He stepped up and threw it to Anthony Miller for a touchdown."
The improved inside pressure Elway faces will be partly a result of the close bond between Phillips and Cunningham, the new defensive coordinator.
In practice a couple of weeks ago, Cunningham noticed Phillips was not using his hands correctly for the new defensive philosophy. It may sound simple, but old habits are hard to break.
Then it occurred to Cunningham the perfect way to communicate what he wanted Phillips to think about.
"There are certain communicative words you use that make things happen faster," said Cunningham. "It's just a little thing Joe and I used to say to each other. I'd rather not say what it was ... I said the right thing and it hit.
"He was able to find himself during the practice. Everybody else noticed how quickly he was able to change from the way he played in the last three or four years to what he's doing now."
The Chiefs hope whatever it is will lead to win No. 7.
Today's Birthday (Oct. 19): You may have to get organized this year! Follow a good friend's or your mate's advice about money and make a change in your spending habits in November. Do what's expected to keep the peace at home in December. You might have enough for a technical toy by February. Advance in your career in March by using your experience. Schedule a reunion for August. Save up so that in September you can pay a debt you incurred long ago.
Arles (March 21-April 19): A savings plan at work could turn out to be a good deal. Check it out with a friend who's more experienced in those matters. If you get criticism from another about your eating habits, listen to that, too. You probably need more vegetables in your diet!
Taurus (April 20-May 20): This would be a fun day to call in well and stay home with your sweetie. You probably have to go to work, though. If people are getting in between you and your job, tell them to clear out! Your partnership is strong and growing stronger. Set a new target tonight
Gemini (May 21-June 21): It may be difficult to concentrate on your work today, but that's what's required. Don't forget something you promised a roommate, either. Although you might be anxious to go out tonight, you'd do better to stay home and clean up the place. You'll get a better offer later.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): If you've been considering reading up on vitamins and nutrition, this would be a good time to start. Something you learn could benefit a member of your family. Your work should be going well, but avoid getting overly involved in it. You need some free time, too.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): If you go shopping today, you should be able to restrain yourself from buying the most expensive item. Follow your best friend's advice, too. A problem at work may clear up if you review it again late tonight. Sleep on it, and you may have the answer by morning.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Invest in your own education. A new book.
program or class will give you a secret advantage. Your sweetheart may be too busy to play today, but you should be able to have a good conversation later. Draw up a blueprint to get to your dreams.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct.23): The secret of your success today is in the details and your willingness to take care of them. Don't try to skip any, especially with a large bureaucracy. Take care of your health, too. But don't be afraid to try a sandwich with your soup.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): If you need information, make a few phone calls in the morning. What you learn might help you through a difficult situation. If you have a friend with a skill you admire, see if you can arrange a meeting tonight. You'll benefit by the other's experience.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
Although the pressure's on to do a good job today, don't worry. Take time with the stuff you find difficult and the rest will be a breeze. A group activity should be fun, if you don't let gossip spread. An unkind word could do damage.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
This is a good day for travel, especially with friends who have the same occupational interests. One of them could help you handle a situation that's been difficult to understand.
Don't discuss a personal secret, though. Save that for your best friend.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A potential investor will want precise data. You should be able to supply that once you've done your homework. Don't talk much, however. You could reveal a blind spot. An interesting excursion may have to be postponed due to a prior commitment.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): If you're selling a product, find a market for it in a resort location and pack your bags! If you can provide a service, maybe you can start a business! Discuss your dreams tonight over dinner with a partner who would love to help you turn them into reality.
