passing Packers By Wck Gosselin NEW YORK (UPI) The zone and the blitz are two defensive, mechanisms used in football to try to destroy the concentration of a quarterback in obvious passing situations. The zone floods the secondary with defensive backs and linebackers while the blitz is a sneak rush by a linebacker designed to either sack the quarterback or make him hurry his throw. They are supposed to give the defense the edge in the battle of brawn but instead have triggered a rebirth in passing efficiency this season the likes of which the pro game has never before seen. Through 11 weeks of the season, defenses have been singed for 11 300- yard passing games by National Football League quarterbacks while receivers have posted an incredible 53 100-yard-or-more games. Jim Hart of St.

Louis is the ony passer with two 300-yard performances (346 vs. Dallas and 324 vs. Los Angeles) while Jim Harris of the Rams owns the best single game 436 yards on just 17 completions against the Dolphins. a team blitzes, the offense runs a man on a post pattern and hits says Detroit coach Tommy Hudspeth. when you put double coverage on a wide receiver, they are hitting the tight end up the "Teams are blitzing more and more this adds Dallas assistant Ermal Allen.

"Washington Despite Zones Blitzes blitzed 60 per cent against us, for instance, and Chicago and Buffalo have blitzed a lot. Teams are more likely to hit a bomb against a blitz. "But you can hit the bombs against the zone, too, and some teams, instead of sending one man deep through the zone, will try to split the seam with two men running deep Running the deep routes the best this season have been receivers Charlie Joiner of San Diego and Cliff Branch of Oakland, the only two men with four 100-yard games. Joiner got his on consecutive weeks against St. Louis, Denver, Oakland and Houston while Branch collected his over a five-week period Oakland also tops the NFL with seven 100-yard games by receivers, getting three from tight end Dave Casper to go with the four by Branch.

Casper is one of three tight ends with 100-yarders to their credit, joining Billy Joe Dupree of Dallas and Raymond Chester of Baltimore. Minnesota is tops in the NFC with five 100-yard games, getting two apiece from Chuck Foreman and Sammy White and one from Ahmad Rashad. Foreman is one of three running backs to hit the century mark in receptions during a game. The others are Doug Kotar of the New York Giants and Lydell Mitchell of Baltimore. White is one of four players with 200-yard-plus games this season with a 210-yard showing against Detroit.

Baltimore's Roger Carr also had 210 yards against the Jets, Frank Grant rolled up 200 yards against San Francisco and Ron Jessie produced a 220-yard game for the Rams against Miami. are throwing at different times than they used explains Kansas City offensive coordinator Bob Schnelker, whose chiefs rank first in the AFC in passing used to be you had to establish a running game before throwing. Now they are throwing in run situations, catching defenses off guard.

Ken Stabler, Roger Staubach, Joe Theismann, Dan Pastorini, Greg Landry, Lynn Dickey and Bert Jones have also had 300-yard games St Louis, whose defense has been hampered this season by a makeshift pass rush and an injury riddle linebacking crew, is tied with New Orleans in being victimized for an NFL-high of four 100-yard games by receivers this season.

Pitt needed the victory in the nationally televised game to keep its hopes of playing for the national championship when it meets fourth- ranked Georgia in the Sugar Bowl on New Day. The outcome was in doubt the first two quarters as the teams battled in steady rain to a 7-7 tie. Penn State keyed on Dorsett successfully in the first two periods, holding him to 58 yards. Both teams relied heavily in the early going on conservative ground games, and neither could accomplish much.

Penn State then turned to the fast passing arm of sophomore Chuck Fusina, and he led the Lions to a 7-0 lead late in the first quarter with a 21-yard scoring pass to Bob Torrey. Fusina made the scoring pass pos sible with a 27-yard toss to Rich Mauti. Pitt then loosened its offense, and quarterback Matt Cavanaugh set up first TD run by completing a 26-yard pass to Gordon Jones that put the Panthers on Penn 13. Dorsett went in three plays later.
