He has patched up a 1976 team weakened by injuries, switching to a three linemen-four linebackers defense to compensate, and ably led his troops through an emotionally trying barrage of accusations: Oakland spent much of the fall under a cloud of charges of dirty play. It began in the season's opening game, when Safetyman George Atkinson decked Pittsburgh Receiver Lynn Swann, leaving Swann with a concussion.
