the fault of James Horns However at this particu tar time we feel Pat Haden should be given the opportunity to show what he can do" Knox said Asked if he thought he should get tougher since It has

Stadium Monday night a fact Dallas special assistant Ermal Allen finds a little hard to believe Buffalo led the National Football League in 10 of 15 major offensive categories last season but ranks only eighth in the American Conference in offense going into Monday's 8 pm game against the Cowboys "It's just amazing that this team has a 2-7 record They've got the same offensive people back from last season with the exception of Joe Ferguson and Jim 13raxton" Allen pointed out FERGUSON AND Braxton the Bills' starting quarterback and fullback respectively are both lost for the season with injuries Their replacements are third-year pro Gary Marangi at quarterback and former Atlanta Falcon Eddie Ray at fullback "Other than that they have the same offensive people back and I think they probably have one of the three or four best offensive lines in pro football" said Allen It's an experienced group with seven-year vet Dave Foley of Ohio State and six-year man Donnie Green of Purdue at tackles eight-year vet Mike Mont ler of Colorado at center and two former Michigan pro Joe DeLamielleure and five-year man Reggie the guards "That is a real good solid group There are no weak sisters in there They are good football players" McKenzie of course has gained fame as OJ Simpson's "Main Man" and is a former all-pro "Offensively of course the man you've got to watch is OJ Simpson who is a great runner" Allen said "He has great speed and acceleration OJ runs under control better than any back in the league Ile just kind of slides along the line of scrimmage looking for a hole Then he explodes" 4 SIMPSON WHO IIAS gained 660 yards on 160 carries this season annually overshadows a man Ermal considers one of the best wide receivers in pro football Bob Chandler "Ile's probably the most underrated receiver in pro football He'll catch 45 to 50 passes every year but everyone seems to overlook him When you talk about the top receivers the names of Cliff Branch and Drew Pearson are mentioned And there are others But you never hear about Chandler "But he's already caught 41 passes this season and they will go to him" Ermal said Nlarangi a 6-2 203-pounder has corn A matter Drew Pearson may be the most reliable pass receiver in the National Football League He has made one crucial catch after another for the Dallas Cowboys over the last four seasons So when Drew starts dropping the ball you know there's a problem Drew has dropped a couple in this latest outbreak of "dropsey" that has hit the Cowboy receivers the last month By the count of Dallas coaches the Cowboys have dropped 19 passes that should have been caught the past four games Since the average number of drops for an entire season is 32 it can be said that the current outbreak of misses is reaching epidemic proportions among the Cowboys Pearson has a simple explanation for the large number of drops though "It's lack of concentration That's all it is" the all-pro wide receiver said "The biggest thing a receiver has to do when the ball is corning is to concentrate solely on that ball Looking boll in "Regardless of whether he has good hands or bad hands if he does that I think he'll catch it

done but Drew says he's had little problem as far as hearing footsteps "I don't hear them and I don't care about them If I did care about them I wouldn't be able to make the catch I don't think any
