Williams shines
as DB for Pokes
IRVING (AP) — On a team that’s had
little success, Robert Williams may be
the Dallas Cowboys’ success story of the
year.
The second-year free agent has be
come the starter at right cornerback and
his play against the Phoenix Cardinals on
Sunday drew high praise from Dallas
Coach Tom Landry.
‘T’m just so pleased with Williams,”
Landry said. “He is one of our bright
spots. He has great speed and is able to
finish a play. We’ve got something spe
cial for the future in Robert Williams. ”
Williams limited the Cardinals’ explo
sive wide receiver, Roy Green, to only
one catch in the 16-10 loss. Green had
averaged at least one touchdown pass a
game against Dallas in previous meet
ings.
On two occasions, Williams made
spectacular leaps to bat away long passes
intended for Green.
“That kid is a good defensive back,”
Green said. “He’s got a lot of promise.”
Landry said, “When you go up
against a Roy Green you find out pretty
quick whether you can play. Williams
can play. I guess he should be green at
the position but he just keeps making
good plays.”
William*;’ performance and an injury
to Mike Downs have encouraged Landry
to temporarily move Ron Francis to
safety.
Francis, a No. 1 draft pick in 1987 as a
cornerback, worked at free safety this
week in practice.
Francis suffered a dislocated shoulder
in summer camp and lost his job to Wil
liams.
Ironically, both played on the same
team at Baylor.
Williams was a running back and at
one time was a backup cornerback to
Francis.
Downs has been bothered with a
pulled groin muscle.
“One reason we will move Francis to
free safety is to see how he will do,”
Landry said. “He could play some there
against the Giants. ’ ’
Williams said he’s just glad to be a
part of the team.
“When I was a running back at Baylor
I never thought I’d be starting at cor
nerback in the NFL,” he said. “Of
course, Ron and I are good friends.
Maybe some day we’ll be playing in the
secondary at the same time. ”
Williams got invaluable experience as
a starter during the NFL strike replace
ment games in 1987.
Simonini
(Continued from page 11)
fourth down and two from the A&M two
yard line, Wesson handed off to Morris,
who headed for the end zone.
Only he never got there, as the Ma-
roon-shirted marauders met him at the
point of attack, led, of course, by their
spiritual leader.
“I shot the gap, split the halfback and
fullback, and I felt Morris around the an
kles,” Simonini said after the game.
“Three dudes, I don’t know who they
were, but they were hitting Morris from
behind me, and all of a sudden we were
going backward.”
An unusual aspect of the game was the
fact that though Shipman was injured in
the game, the sporadic Aggie offense
continued to purr along behind the lead
ership of senior Mike Jay.
Jay directed two second-half touch
downs and played admirably until suffer
ing a back injury in the second quarter
against Texas two games later.
Following the game, Bellard told the
assembled media that watching fumbles
be returned for touchdowns was getting
to be commonplace.
“Until last year I had never seen that
in all my years of coaching,” Bellard
said. “Last year it happened five times,
“My highest and lowest I
point at A&M came one
week apart. Beating
Texas was something we
hadn’t done previously. .
.. But then we went to Ar
kansas and lost. I think if
we had scored first, we
would have blown them
out, but we didn’t.”
Ed Simonini
three against us and two for us. This
year’s been all in our favor, and we hope
it stays that way.”
Indeed, the previous week, Hayes had
provided the winning touchdown after
intercepting a pitchout and going 77
yards for the score (and most of the way
with the ball held high above his head in
his right hand in the rain).
A&M continued its winning ways, de
feating Rice 33-14 and Texas 20-10 be
fore falling to Arkansas 31-6 in a game
that cost them the undisputed Southwest
Conference championship and a berth in
the Cotton Bowl.
“My highest and lowest point at
A&M came one week apart,” Simonini
said. “Beating Texas was something we
hadn’t done previously. Earl Campbell
didn’t have a very good day (15 carries,
40 yards), and we held their offense pre
tty well.
“But then we went to Arkansas and
lost. I think if we had scored first, we
would have blown them out, but we
didn’t. They hit a long pass right before
the half for a touchdown. ’ ’
On their way to the dressing room, the
Aggies were verbally accosted by the
overly-exhuberant Arkansas crowd. Two
Porker fans leaned over the rail to get
closer to Simonini, who didn’t back
down.
Legend has it that the youngster went
to the dressing room and threatened to
whip any player that didn’t play his best
in the second half.
“I don’t know about that,” he replied.
“A lot of things get said in the heat of a
game. All I remember is that I wasn’t in
a very good mood. ’ ’
Bereft of their long-awaited Cotton
Bowl berth, the Aggies sadly marched to
Memphis, Tennessee, where USC ended
Bellard’s initial-recruitingcrop’s careers
with a 20-0 defeat.
Nonetheless, Simonini retains many
fond - and proud - memories from his
A&M career, not the least of which is
that the Ags’ record improved each sea
son he was there.
“We started off in last place (3-8 in
1972) but progressed steadily to 10-2 and
tied for the SWC title with Texas and Ar
kansas,” he noted. “When Pat or Jackie
(Williams, the free safety) and I talk
about it, we remember that we came here
when A&M had been down a long time,
but we left with 10 wins and a part of a
championship.”
In his 45-game career, the last 41 of
which were starting assignments, Si
monini garnered an incredible 425
tackles (123 in 1973 and 115 in 1975).
All this when offenses tried to avoid him
for the last three years of his career.
He was named SWC Freshman of the
Year in 1972, SWC Defensive Player of
the Year in 1973 AND 1975, second-
team All-America in 1973-74 and first
team All-America in 1975.
Additional honors included being a
Lombardi Trophy finalist in 1975, team
co-captain in 1973 and 1975 and a mem
ber of the 1975 SWC Academic Honor
Team.
But the one thing that seperates Si
monini from the other 184 Aggies who
have been named to the All-SWC first
team is that he earned the honor FOUR
times.
Only four other players have even
been so honored three times, and the last
one was Joel Hunt (1925-26-27).
None of the honors surprised Bellard,
who in 1981 noted, “Ed never had a bad
practice or game in four years at A&M.
He was an outstanding, intense player
for us. His main attribute was that he’s a
fighting son-of-a-gun who never gave up
regardless of the score. ’ ’
Melvin Robertson, who was A&M’s '
defensive coordinator from 1972-78,
echoed Bellard’s sentiments, adding,
“Ed was the catalyst of our defensive
football team. He was the best kind of a
leader because he led us ON the field.
He’s just a natural football player and
had natural instinct.”
Of the six freshman that were included
in the varsity squad that played Wichita
State in 1972, the first game of Bellard’s
tenure, only Simonini played on the de
fensive side of the ball.
His first start was in the Aggies’ open
ing SWC game against Texas Tech at
Kyle Field, something that he easily re
called 16 years later.
“I had no idea what to expect when I
got to A&M,” he said. “Since I was
from Nevada, 1 didn’t know any of the
other players, plus you always doubt
your ability.
“Suddenly I was a starter in a close
“Ed never had a bad prac-1
tice or game in four years
at A&M. He was an out
standing, intense player
for us. His main attribute
was that he’s a fighting
son-of-a-gun who never
gave up regardless of the
score.”
Emory Bellard
former A&M coach
SWC game and experienced the normal
excitement that any freshman has when
put in such a position. Things kind of ex
ploded out there.”
Tech won 17-14, scoring the winning
touchdown on a drive prolonged by an
accidental face mask penalty on Si
monini.
“Their quarterback (Joe Barnes) put a
move on me and instead of grabbing his
shoulder pads, I got part of his face
mask,” he said. “If the rules then were
as they are now, it would have only been
a five-yard penalty. But they got a first
down and went on to win the game. ”
Simonini thrilled Aggie fans every
where, whether they attended the games
or listened or watched them on tele
vision, because he had the rare combina
tion of good talent, great desire and an
indomitable will to succeed regardless of
the situation or opponent.
He entered the Aggie Hall of Honor in
1982 and has been joined by teammates
Thomas, TenNapel and Bubba Bean.
But those of us who were fortunate to
watch him play in person will always re
member what a fiery leader he was for
Texas A&M.
