B2 TIMES-ADVOCATE, Escondido, Monday, Sept. 3, 1984 IMew-look Cowboys open against the Rams but he lost each time. Then came last year when the Cowboys were eliminated early in the playoffs by the Rams. The Cowboys will be trying to win their 19th opener in the past 20 years. Dallas has reached the playoffs in 17 of the past 18 years, while the Rams have qualified for postseason play nine times in the past 11 years.

Its always exciting to play someone like Dallas in your opener, but we must keep in mind were playing a 16-game schedule and hopefully an even longer one, said Rams Coach John Robinson. We had a good pre-season, one in which we made the kind of progress we feel is necessary for us to become a championship team. Were 0-0 now, though, and ready for the start of the season. The Rams were 2-2 in the preseason, while the Cowboys were Landry announced that Hogeboom would replace Danny White as the Cowboys starting quarterback against the Rams.lt will be the first NFL start for Hogeboom, who is beginning his fifth pro season. Landry said he believed his team needed a spark before opening the season and that Tve got a feeling Gary is the right one to start this game." "Its always difficult to replace a starting player, especially when you consider Danny Whites performance, Landry said.

Dannys been maligned because of our inability to get to the Super Bowl. Its time to see what Gary can do. I wouldnt hesitate to put Danny back in." White became the starting Dallas quarterback in 1980, after the retirement of Roger Staubach. White guided the Cowboys into the NFC championship game in each of his first three years as a starter, Chargers in tackles last year, led the club again Sunday with eight solos and four assists. Woodrow Lowe had five solos.

Andre Young played an outstanding game, recording five solos, two assists and intercepting two passes. The Chargers dont believe they suffered any serious injuries, although three of their linebackers got nicked. Linden King broke a bone in his hand but came back and played. Ray Preston bruised a with just four tackles and no sacks, but he consistently applied pressure on Vikings quarterback Tommy Kramer, either when he blitzed as a linebacker or lined up at end. Were going to be bringing Billy Ray from all over the field, said Linebackers Coach Chuck Weber.

The Chargers are now 5-1 in season openers under Coryell. All five victories have come on the road. Mike Green, who led the ANAHEIM (AP) The Dallas Cowboys, with a new starting quarterback in Gary Hogeboom and without some familiar faces, will be looking for revenge Monday night when they meet the Los Angeles Rams in the National Football League season opener for both teams. The nationally televised (6 p.m. on Channel 10) game marks the beginning of the 15th year of Monday Night Football.

Last Dec. 26, the Rains ended a disappointing 1983 season for the Cowboys, beating them 24-17 in the National Football Conference wildcard playoff game. All seemed normal for the Cowboys through most of last season, as they won 12 of their first 14 games. But then they were beaten by Washington and San Francisco in their final two regular-season games, before losing to the Rams. Tuesday, Dallas Coach Tom Quotebook By Don Norcross Times Advocate Sportswriter MINNEAPOLIS Notes and quotes from the Chargers 42-13 season-opening victory over the Minnesota Vikings: Charlie Joiner caught three passes for 52 yards.

Joiner has now caught passes for 10,033 yards in his 16-year career, making him only the fourth NFL wide receiver to reach the plateau. The other three are Don Maynard Harold Jackson (10,372) and another Charger, Lance Alworth Joiner has now caught at least one pass in 76 straight regular-season games, 83 counting playoffs. He has caught two or more passes in 73 of the last 76 regular-season games and 79 of the last 83 overall. The Chargers scored a touchdown with a trick play the Dan Fouts, to Pete Holohan to Charlie Joiner score and they started the game with a trick play. On their first play from scrimmage, Kellen Winslow lined up as a wide receiver.

Wes Chandler lined up on the same side and went in motion toward Fouts. Fouts threw a short pass to Winslow, who flipped to Chandler going down the sideline. The play gained 22 yards. Interestingly, the Chargers began each practice last week with that play. As for the Fouts-to-Holohan-to-Joiner razzle dazzle, the Chargers didnt put that one in their play-book until the day after their final pre-season game against the Rams.

Someone asked Holohan if the Chargers were rubbing it in on the Vikes by running the play when they were ahead 28-3. Said Holohan: "Thats not an extraordinary lead in this league. Billy Ray Smith was credited ed, "Remember, I said maybe. After visiting his family in St. Louis, Winslow said that if his contract situation isnt settled by Friday hes going on a cruise to the Carribean.

And after that? I have several job opportunities, he said. "I didnt go to school for nothing. Theres life after football. I knew it would happen one of these days. It just happened five years earlier than I thought.

Summing up his feelings, Winslow said he felt, "a little hurt, a little upset and very frustrated. This didnt have to happen. Its a shame that it did. Winslow did make one thing clear if the issue were resolved. "I wouldnt be playing for the front office, he said.

"Id be playing for myself and my teammates. When you step on the field, thats what its ail about. Asked if he felt the club was giving him a message, the same message it sent Jefferson and Dean when they were traded, Winslow said, "That message right now is that they dont want me. I might be wrong. Ive been wrong before.

last season. "Obviously, we played very well. That's no big secret, said Defensive Coordinator Tom Bass, proudly puffing on one of his stogies. "We did it with an enourmous amount of hard work. We had two extra days of practice, and we came out and applied ourselves.

We met a lot, and a lot of the guys stayed late and looked at film. It paid off." Tve never seen our defensive backs knock down so many balls, said Fouts. Jim Wagstaff, the Chargers defensive backfield coach, knew at least one of his athletes Byrd -was going to come up with a big play. "I told him before the game that something good was going to happen to him, said Wagstaff. The coach turned prophet when Kramer tossed the interception that Byrd returned for a touchdown.

The play was bizarre from the start. Kramer handed off to Ted Brown on third and two. Brown tried the middle of the line, met a road block and bounced backwards like a pinball. Being pursued by three Chargers, he flipped the ball to Kramer. Kramer scrambled left, tried to throw the ball, but got hit by Billy Ray Smith.

The ball floated to Byrd. Said Coryell, "It was just one of those days that things went very well for us. Which raised two questions. Are the Chargers that good? Or are the Vikings just that bad? As former Viking Ed White said, Ive never seen a Minnesota team look that disorganized. Thatll make rookie Coach Les Steckel feel good.

All Winslow Continued from page B1 Winslow said he didnt like leaving his teammates. It's hard leaving, he said. Theres a lot of good people on this team. Weve had a lot of fun. Weve been through a rough training camp.

But I feel they understand what Im going through." Dan Fouts, who sat out the first 10 weeks of the 1977 season In a contract dispute with the Chargers, confirmed his understanding. I know what he's going through, said Fouts. "Its a difficult situation. I understand hes under a lot of pressure. It's part of the game, slash, business.

But he'll come through In good shape because hes an outstanding young man and a great football player. Fouts said he didnt think Winslows situation would be unsettled for long. "I dont anticipate that happening, said the quarterback. Maybe Ill pay him. Reminded that Winslow is asking for a $500,000 raise, Fouts add Chargers Continued from page B1 go for the ball at its highest point.

He waited for the ball to come to him and let Wes make a tremendous athletic play. Then there was Pete "Golden Arm Holohan. With the Chargers leading 28-3 early in the third period, Holohan delivered the knockout punch. Holohan went in motion, took a pass behind the line of scrimmage from Fouts and then uncorked a 25-yard touchdown pass to Charlie Joiner, who was closer to fans in the first row than he was to any Minnesota defensive back. Holohan, who hadnt thrown a touchdown pass since he quarter-backed New Yorks Liverpool High Warriors back in 1976 called it, "the highlight of my life.

"The highlight of your life? asked a sarcastic Fouts. You must have led a pretty rough life. Holohan had a chance for a second touchdown, this one as a receiver. He caught a 25-yard pass over the middle later in the third period but just barely got tripped up. "The turf reached up and tripped me, joked the tight end.

And how about Bobby Duckworth? Duckworth caught four passes for 115 yards a 31-yard average. None of them went for touchdowns, but two of them a 40-yarder and 23-yarder set up scores. Finally, there was that Chargers defense, the one that has been subject to so much ridicule. Sunday it only gave up six points on two field goals. The Vikings only touchdown came when Joey Browner scooped up an Earnest Jackson fumble and sprinted 63 yards.

The defense not only gave up just six points, but limited the Vikings to 12 first downs, produced four turnovers, limited the Vikes to a paltry 206 yards and sacked Kramer three times.

The Cowboys have a new look entering the season. Gone are such standout players as wide receiver Drew Pearson, tight end Billy Joe DuPree, offensive tackle Pat Donovan, running back Robert New-some and defensive end Harvey Martin, all of whom retired since the end of the 1983 campaign. A total of 13 first-year players are on the Dallas roster as the new season begins. In Mondays other NFL game, the Seattle Seahawks, coming off their best exhibition record ever on the heels of a Cinderella 1983 season, launch their ninth season against the Cleveland Browns.

The Seahawks, 4-1 in pre-season play, are 4 -point favorites to defeat Cleveland, who were 1-3 in 1984 exhibition games. The Seahawks and the Browns each wound up with 9-7 regular season records in 1983. shoulder. Lowe suffered a hip pointer, as did defensive lineman Chuck Ehin. Chandler on the Chargers impressive offensive performance, which included 526 yards in addition to the 42 points: We accomplished what we wanted to.

We moved the ball and scored. Last year we moved the ball a lot but didnt put enough points on the board. IMPORTS DATSUN, HONDA, TOYOTA, VW, MG, AUDI, BMW, FIAT MERCEDES MORE!
