Once the keys are broken, adjustments must be made. "If they aren't," Simpson said, "they're going to get to you pretty quick. It happens from time to time, and BOB MULHERNor BRUCE MacKENZIE at NORTH HOLLYWOOD TOYOTA, 4100 Lankershim Bl. (213) 763 -7336.

you ve got to make adjustments right then. "Game day is always a day of adjustments and correc tions," Gibbs said. "There might be portions of our game plan we'll have to can, based on what the defense is doing. You've got to remember that they're making ad "That formation," Gibbs said, "probably bailed us out." Wayne Sevier, the special teams coach, looks for similarly advantageous one-on-one pairings. "Say we've got the field-goal block team on the field," he said.

"We'll try to come up with an area where we think an opponent is weakest, and we'll put our best rush man there. We want to get our best against their poorest." Last week, against Oakland, Sevier's plan was to mix the outside rush. The Chargers ended up attacking six times from the right and three times from the left. "I felt, as the game progressed, that we had a better chance from the right," Sevier said. "Mike Williams got justments too.

"A lot of times," Sevier said, "you put a game plan together and don get a chance to use much of it. Continued from First Page third and 1 or 2, third and 3 or 4, and third and 5-plus. And, of course, there are packages for different areas of the field, such as backed up near the Charger goal line or in what is known as the red area near the enemy 20 or near the enemy goal line. Simpson and the defensive coaches, meanwhile, are putting together a similar package for the defense. They are also concerned with down -and -distance and position on the field, what they can do to stop what the other team is expected to do.

"Birt Slater (a special assistant) breaks down the films and puts everything on computerized cards," Simpson said, "but we've got to look at the films to see how they do things. When we get through with it, we've got 50 to 60 pages to put into the game plan books. The total offensive package, in The Game Plan booklet, will be 25 to 30 pages. The final "ready sheet" is a one-page condensation by situation, listing merely play numbers. To get to that final "ready sheet," the coaches have to study the defenses they expect to meet and find weaknesses, either in structure or personnel.

The defense, Take, for example, the Chargers' trip to Denver last Vivitar Please Turn to Page 7, Col. 1 One Touch Zoom 00 139 Our most lightweight, compact and versatile zoom Unique computer mated Matched THE USUAL THE UNUSUAL THE UNIQUE WE HAVE THEM ALL 2X MULTIPLEX 44" PjKL- Multiplier (accessory will double focal length of lens with minimal loss of resolution and contrast MC Muflicoated optics Sewer scouts opposing kickoffs and punts as to the exact spot from the point of the kick that the ball lands. OUH EXCLUSIVE PIG SPIT a hand on a PAT, so I told Bob Horn (the middle linebacker and defensive signal -caller) to stay with the right rush until someone blocked Mike." Williams Blocks Raiders' Kick In the overtime period, in which the Chargers won the game, the Raiders attempted a game -winning field goal. And Mike Williams blocked it. Sevier's work is indicative of the detail that goes into game plans.

He scouts opposing kickers, be they kick-offs or punts, as to the exact spot from the point of the kick that the ball lands. "Denver's unique (because of the altitude)," Sevier said. "With their guys, I chart according to whether the kick was in Denver or on the road. The ball doesn't carry the same." There is another situation unique to Denver. The placekicker, Fred Steinfort, is left-footed.

Most soccer-style kickers hook the ball. Against right-footed kickers, the Chargers line up Frank Duncan, their No. 1 kickoff returner, five yards deeper than Hank Bauer, whose blocking is valued, and to Bauer's right. Sevier's scouting report will determine whether they should reverse positions this week against the left-footed kicker. Such seemingly petty details make a machine run much more smoothly.

But all this attention to detail can, at times, be frustrating on Sunday afternoons.

"We have to try to predict when they'll be in a certain defense and take advantage of it. We also do a self-scout-ing report, looking at what we've done in certain situations.

We want to know what they think we'll be doing." "We try to change every week," said Simpson for the defense. "We have to adapt to what we'll be playing. We might line up the same way, but we'll change our stunts and coverage." Some of the search is for a formation and a play to run against a specific alignment, and sometimes the search for a player to match against a certain player. That was the case last week, when the Chargers were desirous offensively of isolating 6-5 tight end Kellen Winslow against Oakland's strong safety. To do that, they aligned wide receivers John Jefferson and Charlie Joiner to one side of the field, hoping the cornerbacks would follow them.

That would leave Winslow split wide at the other side against the strong safety. And it worked, Winslow catching nine passes for 132 yards.
