Cowboys
trade Bills
Dickerson
Linebacker swapped
for future draft picks
Associated Press
DALLAS — Veteran line
backer Anthony Dickerson of the
Dallas Cowboys said Tuesday that
he has been traded to the Buffalo
Bills.
“Sure, I’m a little upset about
it,” said Dickerson, a six-year vet
eran who saw the handwriting on
the wall when he did not play
Monday night in the Cowboys’
15-13 NFL exhibition win over
Chicago.
“I’m the best linebacker they’ve
got here and I hate to go, but I
can tell you one thing, I am shift
ing my loyalty to the Bills right
now,” Dickerson said.
Dickerson quickly cleaned out
his locker at the Cowboys’ new
headquarters at Valley Ranch
and returned home to make im
mediate arrangements to fly to
Buffalo.
Team sources said that the
Cowboys would receive future
draft choices in exchange for
Dickerson.
Dickerson, who played at
SMU, was obtained by Dallas as a
free agent in 1980. He had been a
starter for the Cowboys the last
two seasons.
In the current Cowboys’ media
guide, Coach Tom Landry de
scribed Dickerson as having “the
big play qualities you look for in a
linebacker.”
Dallas linebacker coach Jerry
Tubbs said, “The trade will help
Dickerson. Buffalo is very vanilla
in what they do, but we run a very
controlled type defense and that
works against (Dickerson).
“Anthony is tfie type of player
who reacts to what he sees. This
could be to his advantage.”
Stump won’t leave Ags’ year to chance
By PETE HERNDON
Spoils Writer
Texas A&M quarterback Craig
Stump believes that saying “things
just didn’t go well’’ for the Aggies
during the ’84 football campaign
would be a understatement.
Memories of several “bad breaks”
and last season’s mediocre 6-5 re
cord makes Stump all the more anx
ious for the 1985-86 season to begin.
And, as far as Stump’s concerned,
this year can’t begin any worse for
the Aggies than last year did.
After quarterback Kevin Murray
went down with a season ending an
kle injury against Arkansas State,
Stump had to face the unenviable
chore of replacing the Southwest
Conference’s 1984 Newcomer of the
Year. Stump became A&M’s No. 1
signal caller just one week before the
Aggies’ opened SWC play against
Texas Tech.
T he Red Raiders, along with most
of A&M’s other conference foes,
didn’t welcome Stump with open
arms. The Aggies were defeated in
five of Stump’s first six starts, losing
to Tech, Houston, Baylor, Houston
and Arkansas.
Stump says that last defeat, 28-0
to the Hogs, seemed to wake the
team up and helped spur the Ags to
season ending victories over bowl-
bound TCU and Texas.
But it’s those first six starts that
haunt Stump the most.
“1 think about the SMU (28-20),
Houston (9-7) and Baylor (20-16)
games the most,” Stump says.
“Those games we had a real chance
and I do mean a real chance to win.
If we would have, it would have
meant a 9-2 record and the Cotton
Bowl last year.”
“We couldn’t get a break that
wasn’t bad. I’m not making any ex
cuses for losing, but things could’ve
been a lot different last year. I want
a chance to even it up.”
A&M’s ’85 offense should give
Stump that chance.
Under new offensive coordinator
Lynn Amedee, Stump says the Aggie
offense will be more wide open this
year.

Texas A&M’s Craig Stump (9) will duel with Kevin Murray to keep the quarterback spot he inherited in the third game of 1984.
“The passing plays will be deter
mined by how we read the defense at
the line of scrimmage,” Stump says.
“The receivers will not know exactly
what route they are going to run un
til they see the defense.”
Stump says the biggest hitch so far
has been getting the quarterbacks
and receivers to make the same re
ads.
“It’s hard on the receivers because
they’ve never had to read a defense
before,” he says. “Last year, all they
had to do was run a certain pattern
and catch the ball.
“But on the other hand, once you
learn this system, you don’t have to
worry about learning new plays ev
ery week to meet the different de
fenses because it’s already built-in.”
Stump says he’s confident enough
in his knowledge of Amedee’s new
offensive scheme that he can con
centrate on winning the starting job
before the opener against Alabama
Sept. 14.
“It should be a real dog-fight,”
Stump says, referring to the upcom
ing battle between himself and Mur
ray for the starting quarterback posi
tion.
