Buffalo boosts Bono's passing
Defensive backups flounder for Bills
By Doug Tucker The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Was Kansas City's new Joe Montana so good? Or were Buffalo's backups so bad?
Chiefs fans should pause before they get too excited about the way Steve Bono moved the offense Saturday night. They need to bear in mind that almost all the damage in a 36-10 romp came in the last three quarters after Buffalo coach Marv Levy dedicated the night to reviewing hopeful rookies and second-teamer retreads.
In other words, Bono may not hit 19 of 27 passes for 226 yards and three touchdowns every game this fall. Some of the defenders he beat may not be around after tomorrow's mandatory cut-down
"We lost by a lot, and we're getting ready to play the next one," Levy said. "We'll have a lot fewer players at the next game."
day around the league.
In the first quarter, Buffalo's All-Pro defensive end Bruce Smith made his first preseason appearance and sacked Bono for a three-year loss. It was just 3-3 when Levy removed most of his firstteamers and Bono, bidding for his first starting job in a 11-year NFL career, warmed up.
"Our agenda was to play our starters into the third quarter. Obviously, Coach Levy's approach was a little bit different," said Chiefs' coach Marty Schottenheimer. "The efficiency is there in flashes, but it's not there as consistently as it needs to be."
Levy was encouraged by Smith, who has been rehabilitating an injury.
"The first action with just one week of practice and just two
days of pads, I think he did well.",
Levy said. "And again, our first team did well. We stopped them on the first drive."
It was without a doubt the finest outing of the preseason for Bono. The career sub played into the third quarter and threw touchdown tosses of 11 yards to tight end Keith Cash and 13 yards to backfill Tony Richardson in the second quarter. In the third, capping a smart 80-yard drive, he rifled a 13-yarder to wide receiver Danan Hughes.
"We got some good work from our first team in the first quarter of the game, which I was glad we were able to get," Levy said. "After that, we started looking at a lot of players. A few played well but not enough of them played well."
While the Chiefs' No. 1 quarterback played into the third quarter, Buffalo's Jim Kelly played in only two series. He hit three of four passes for 76 yards, including a 55-yarder to tight end John Lennon
son when Kansas City's secondary experienced a breakdown of its own. With any speed, Johnson would have scored, but cornerback James Hasty dragged him down from behind at the 26.
"I just lost sight of him," said safety Brian Washington. "It was all my fault. I was looking at the wrong thing."
Bono agreed it was his best outing of the practice season. With Montana in retirement, the success of the West Coast offense rides on his experienced-but-untested arm.
"I think things are starting to come together sooner," he said. "Hopefully, we can build on what we did tonight. We were definitely more in that rhythm that we'd like to be in."
Maybe Bono was. The Buffalo backups were not.
"They made far, far, far too many pass responsibility errors," Levy said. "They can't just go out there and play run, stop the run."

Chiefs search for backfield sub
The Associated Press
Team expects smaller role for future Hall of Famer Allen
RIVER FALLS, Wis. — Marcus Allen would carry the ball on every play if he were allowed to, but the Kansas City Chiefs
Kansas City Offers want to give their aging star a lot of rest this year.
The problem is finding a running back to take his place.
Resting Allen so that he would be fresh for the most important
parts of the season was the plan last year, too. But Allen ended up being the primary back and had 33 carries and 132 yards in the last game of the season.
The Chiefs are pinning their hopes on the speedy Greg Hill, a No.1 draft pick who gained 574 yards last year. But Hill has gained just 18 yards on eight carries in the preseason.
The Chiefs also signed Leroy Thompson, a free
agent from the New England Patriots who gained 763 yards two years ago for the Pittsburgh Steelers when Barry Foster was hurt. Thompson caught 65 passes for the Patriots last year.
"Hopefully, Marty should know me pretty well because I have had excellent games against his teams," Thompson said of Kansas City coach Marty Schottenheimer. "Greg is young, and they are going to see if he can play football."
"It came down to the point where a few teams were interested in me, and I chose the Chiefs because of the offense," Thompson said. "My talents seem suited for this passing scheme."
Thompson has been working with the third team most of the time in practice and isn't getting many turns in practice.
"That's kind of disappointing because I am used to being with the first or second group," he said. "I understand what they are doing. But I'm not getting a lot of looks. To this point, I haven't seen where I fit in."
Thompson has gained 20 yards on eight carries in preseason games.
"That's probably one of the most difficult positions we are going to have to address relative who is going to make the team and who is going to get the lion's share of the work," Schottenheimer said.
