...differs sharply from his previous songs. Just as a cascading piano was appropriate for "Queen Jane Approximately," so the new record is rightly driven by muted, subtle rhythms and complex interaction. Dylan and his regular drummer, Kenny Buttrey, seem to have developed the sort of perfect understanding that Bart Starr shares with Carroll Dale. In places all over the record, they groove effortlessly, as at the end of John Wesley Harding when Buttrey pumps the shutters, with Dylan wailing on harp...
...youth and enthusiasm. Coolly and methodically, Green Bay ground the challengers down, capitalizing on Oakland's mistakes while making practically none of its own. Not once did Green Bay draw an offside or illegal motion penalty-while Oakland, baffled by the staggered cadence counts of Packer Quarterback Bart Starr, twice jumped the center snap. The Packers never fumbled; the Raiders did three times. The only interception came when Green Bay's Herb Adderley picked off a sideline pass thrown by Oakland Quarterback Daryle Lamonica and scampered 60 yds. for a touchdown. Oakland Safetyman Rodger Bird was responsible...
Even so, the game hinged less on what Oakland did wrong than on what Green Bay did surpassingly right. "Execution," according to Oakland Coach Johnny Rauch, was the key to the Packer victory. Quarterback Starr read the stunting Raider defenses as if he had written the book, completed 13 out of 24 passes behind impregnable blocking that virtually nullified Oakland's vaunted pass rush. Packer Tackle Bob Skoronski, assigned to hold off Oakland's mammoth (6 ft. 8 in., 280 lbs.) Defensive End Ben Davidson, did his job so well that Davidson only once all game...
...that the Raiders can't pass. With 220 completions in 425 attempts, Quarterback Daryle Lamonica is the A.F.L.'s No. 1 passer and its Player of the Year. Lamonica can throw the ball even farther than Green Bay's Starr, but against the Packers' superb secondary, he probably will settle for short "swings," "look-ins" and "square-outs" to Fullback Dixon, Flanker Pete Biletnikoff and Tight End Billy Cannon, a converted halfback who is a threat to go all the way any time...
...cocky cornerbacks have developed the habit of playing opposing pass receivers extremely tight to cut off the short pass, assuming that there won't be a long one. It is a tactic that could backfire against Oakland, considering the caliber of the Packers' offensive blockers. If Quarterback Starr gets the protection he needs to throw the bomb to such adept maneuverers as Split End Boyd Dowler and Flanker Carroll Dale, Jimmy the Greek could turn out to be a conservative...
