"I'm pretty familiar with the offense, that's been my main concern. Hut as long as I know where everyone is supposed to be, then I'm all right."

Steiner called the offer the Chargers had made to Winslow as "below market standards for a 'layer of his "We feel as if we have been doing all the giving, and we've been taking nothing," Steiner said "We're done giving, as far as I'm concerned." Steiner said that Winslow intends to "give it all he's got" in the game against the Vikings, but added that he was sincere about the All Pro plans to retire. The 2'yearold tight end will play in Minnesota "out of respect for the team, (coat hi Don Corvell and the coaching staff," Steiner said.

Steiner told the newspaper that Winslow had considered not reporting to the dub's training camp. Auooa'Fd Pff-n SAN DIKCO Charger tight end Kellen Winslow will retire after San IHego's opening game today against Minnesota because negotiations failed to get the highly regarded player a annual salary increase, a newspaper reported. The highly regarded Winslow decided to quit af ter he failed in attempts to got his contract renegotiated. The San Diego Union reported. The newspaper said negotiations between Winslow's agent, Jim Steiner.

and Chargers officials broke down Friday after nearly a week of bargaining. Winslow, who has this year and an option season in lM.r remaining on his contract with the Chargers, had been seeking a readjustment that would increase his $210,000 annual salary to about $700,000. according to the Union.

Philadelphia was unable to protect Ron Jaworskl last year, and that's a major problem this season, too. He has brilliant young receivers In Mike Quick and rookie Kenny Jackson. Phil Slmms Is back as the Giants' quarterback, but he's been plauged by Injuries throughout his five-year NFL career and few expect him to last the season Look for the Giants to establish a running game behind Butch Wool folk and Rob Carpenter against an Eagle defense that has sagged in recent years. St.

Louis Cardinal at Green Bay Packer This may be the year for the Cardinals to make a serious move in the NFC East, what with perennial powers Washington and Dallas perceived to have slipped some. They'll go up against the aerial-minded Packers. St. Louis has one of the NFL's most balanced offenses, behind quarterback Neil Lo-max, with a 24-11 touchdown-Interception ratio, and running back O.J. Anderson.

Lack of a receiver to complement the brilliant Roy Green hurts. The loss of cornerback Jeff Griffin with a broken arm hurts, and look for Lynn Dickey to try to exploit this via James Lofton and John Jefferson. Green Bay, under the direction of Packer immortal and former Cincinnati coach Forrest Gregg, continues to have problems on defense, particularly in the line. San Diego Charger at Minnesota Vikings Was last year a fluke for the Chargers? The answer may be available after they meet the Vikings in a collision of pass-happy teams. Dethroned as AFC West champions.

San Diego was in a state of near-collapse last season, finishing 6-10. as quarterback Dan Fouts was injured and the defense was rebuilt with youth but didn't improve much. Fouts is back healthy, the offense has Son Pwnonao 3rd i Fairfax, Tlra Scxooii Not Avail Commerce Vista Sefvica Not Avail Sun. AH Araa.

The Bengals, with some new faces at linebacker and in the secondary, collide with the Broncos, missing two great linebackers Denver also has been unimpressive on offense Cincinnati cornerback Ken Riley has retired and linebacker Jim LeClair has gone to the t'SFL, leaving some gaps Denver Is trying to cope with Inside linebacker Randy Gradishar (retired) and outside linebacker Rob Swenson out with a knee Injury.

Ken Anderson provides the Bengals with a big edge at quarterback, and look for him to try to test newcomers Rick Dennlson and Ken Woodard by passing to running backs. Kansas City Tiled at Pittsburgh Strtlrr 1 It hasn't been a pleasant training camp f5r either team, so the Chiefs and Steelers a(fi probably glad to get the regular season going. Kansas City has lost quarterback Bill Kenney for several weeks with a broken thumb, and defensive coordinator Bud Carson recently departed. Pittsburgh, which has been dropping veterans left and right, will be without legends Franco Harris, Terry Bradshaw and Mel Blount in a rebuilding effort. David Woodley, a good scrambler.

Is the Steelers quarterback and Frank Pollard leads a bevy of talented young running backs. Both lines are solid; the question for Pittsburgh remains the secondary. Todd Blackledge is the acknowledged quarterback of the future for the Chiefs, but he's getting his chance early in the pass-dominated K.C. attack. Miami Dolphins at Washington Redskins Two divisional favorites highlight the opening week of NFL play.

The Dolphins are the pick in the AFC East and the Redskins are the choice in the NFC East. Both teams are nicked with more than the usual number of injuries. Look for Dan Marino to come out throwing for Miamj to Mark Duper against a so-so Washington secondary. Look for Washington fullback John Rig-gins to come out running, and Joe Theis-mann passing, against a defense slowed by Injuries at linebacker. Teams that beat the Dolphins usually do it with power running, and the Redskins have a size advantage up front.

New England Patriots at Buffalo Bills The Patriots, possibly headed back to the top, and the Bills, going the opposite direction, battle In a renewal of an AFC East rivalry. New England has a diversified and deep offense led by quarterback Steve Grogan and tailbacks Tony Collins and CSFL addition Craig James. The Patriots were hurt on place kicking last year and are hopeful ex-Eagle Tony Franklin will solve that deficiency. The defense has talent, but needs more big plays from the likes of end Ken Sims. Buffalo is staggering with the trade of wide receiver Perry Tuttle, retirement of wide receiver Frank Lewis and USFL defection of tailback Joe Cribbs.

New York Jets at Indianapolis Colts Two of the AFC East's lesser lights vie. Expect the Colts to receive a much warmer welcome In the Hoosierdome than they were receiving in Baltimore. And the Jets probably aren't that unhappy about not opening in New York, where they have received severe criticism. Neither team has displayed much offensive spark. Indianapolis has Mike Pagel starting at quarterback, with Art Schlicter in conten Size Sale OIIJ 2(600 rlB! 01J 270 00 QI1 274 OO 27 OO PHI IOIII l.MOO P14S74VI4 1IIOO '741114 1 MOO 71IM4 200 r2t47S014 2IOOOO 20474SU II02OO P71474VI4 2104 00 t22574l 210400 P21S7SUI4 2114 OO 2 2 $7A ror P15580R13 For JJ P15580R12 OLYMPIAN II STEEL BELTED RADIAL TIRES Limited Tread Wearout Warranty Details In Store.

1 tn Store I added punch with huge fullback Pete Johnson acquired from Cincinnati, and some improvement was noted in preseason by the much-maligned defense. Minnesota gets quarterback Tommy Kramer back after he missed last year with a knee injury; observers say he's looked slow so far. San Francisco 49er at Detroit Lions It's a matchup of two teams, one with a brilliant quarterback, the other ithout. Joe Montana, perhaps pro football's best field general, leads the 49ers in an attempt to win their first game here since 1970. The Lions' quarterback ill be Gary Dan-ielson, a competent veteran.

Both teams have solid defenses. San Francisco has a decent ground game with Wendell Tyler and Roger Craig. Tailback Billy Sims is the heart of the Detroit offense, but he'll need some help in the passing game. The Lions' defense is inconsistent, as is their offense. Tampa Bay Bucs at Chicago Bear Is Jim McMahon ready to take charge against the Bucs? Can Jack Thompson exploit the Bears cornerbacks? Chicago has durable Walter Payton, still an outstanding runner and just 688 yards away from passing Jim Brown as the all-time NFL career rushing leader.

And McMahon showed progress last year at quarterback, but more is needed for the Bears to be a force. The offensive line is young. Tampa Bay has a strong defense led by end Lee Roy Selmon and linebacker Hugh Green, but is punchless on attack.
