Warren Moon run-and-
shooting for the stars
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Hous
ton quarterback Warren Moon is
still reaching for outer space.
Moon launched the Oilers' run-
and-shoot offense last season,
leading the NFL in completions
(362), attempts (584), touchdown
passes (33) and interceptions (13).
He amassed 4,689 total yards, the
fifth highest total in NFL history.
Moon became the only quar
terback to throw for more than
20,000 yards in both the NFL and
Canadian Football League. His 527
passing yards against Kansas City
was the second highest total in
NFL history.
The Oilers led the league with
388.9 yards per game, 300.3 pass
ing yards per game, 23.5 first
downs per game, 6.2 average gain
per play, and 52 percent third
down efficiency.
Get the picture?
Those extraterrestrial numbers
would guarantee satisfaction for
most quarterbacks, but Moon ex
pects to reach deeper space in
1991.
"A lot of people said I had a pre
tty good year last year but looking
at the film, there are a lot of places
I can get better to help this team,"
Moon said. "I have to take my
game to another level and every
player on this team should feel the
same way."
For all of their gaudy numbers,
the Oilers did sputter and wheeze
at times last season. They lurched
into the season with losses to At
lanta and Pittsburgh.
After winning tour of their next
five games, the offense clunked
again in losses to the New York
Jets (17-12) and Los Angeles Rams
(17-13). But the fault was not with
the system. Moon said.
"I wouldn't change anything,
we just need to execute," Moon
said. "I think with this offense it's
going to take more than I did last
year. In this offense, you're going
to compile a lot of yards if you're
doing the right thing."
Fine-tuning could make the
Oiler offense even more devastat
ing, Moon said.
"We need to make the plays
early in the game to put a team
away," he said. "When you have a
team like the Jets and Rams, and
you've got plays that you can put
them away early and make it an
easy game, you've got to do it."
Moon had his career season in
1990, resulting in his third straight
Pro Bowl appearance, after recov
ering from a broken thumb suf
fered in the 15th game of the sea
son.
Moon's soaring success made
him even more popular in the off
season when he was in constant
demand for charity functions, ban
quets and speaking engagements.
"It was a very hectic off-season
for me," Moon said. "I didn't say
no a whole lot, but more than you
would think. I even turned down
some awards banquets for other
commitments I had.
"It was tough physically but I
managed to get my work done. I
managed to find a gym or stayed
at hotels where I knew they had a
workout room. I really got back to
throwing the ball before mini
camp started and worked on me
chanics and tried to improve."
Moon's leadership skills have
grown with his passing skills in re
cent seasons. He arrived at camp
on Thursday and called a team
meeting Thursday night. He feels
comfortable in his role as team
spokesman, a quality that has
b«en acquired.
"I try not to make a big deal out
of meetings," Moon said. "Some
players take team metings as
panic. Some times you can settle
things just by going around to dif
ferent groups on the team and tak
ing care of it that way.

Sports Mail
National League criticism off base
EDITOR:
It has come to my attention that one of your sportswriters
has downgraded the National League of Major League Base
ball. As an avid baseball and sports fan, I find this insulting to
the game of baseball.
As far as I am concerned, scoring runs is not what baseball
is all about. I would much rather see a classic pitching duel be
tween Nolan Ryan and Ramon Martinez than see a couple of
bash brothers hit towering home runs. It obviously takes a little
bit of intelligence to pitch in the majors than it does to go to the
plate and swing a piece of wood. The pitcher is involved in ev
ery pitch of the game. A hitter may be involved in about four to
five at bats per game.
On the issue of designated hitter, I am for this position. For
one thing, it takes a lot of pressure off the pitcher. However, it
does have its disadvantages, such as the strategy is somewhat
diminished. Much of the coaching is taken away from the man
ager. A manager is limited to the changes he can make during
the course of the game. The designated hitter does pose some
advantages, such as giving the pitcher a chance to rest, and
preventing additional injury possibilities while running bases
or taking his cuts at the plate.
However, the National League is not inferior to the Ameri
can League in any way. I don't think there is a superior league
because they are so different and have such contrasting charac
teristics.
Speaking of scoring runs, over the past week the winning
teams of the National League scored five runs or more nine
times as opposed to the winning teams in the American League
scoring five runs or more just five times. And for your informa
tion, the all-time homerun leader, Henry Aaron, came from the
National League. Future Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan spent most
of his career in the National League where he hurled some of
his famous no-hitters. Hall of Fame inductee Mike Schmidt is
one of the few hitters ever to hit 500 home runs in his career.
Another Hall of Famer, Ernie Banks, is also among the elite of
hitting 500 home runs. What about Willie Mays, Willie Stargell,
Roberto Clemens, Lou Brock, Jackie Robinson (the first black
player), and the list goes on.
Did these players play in the National League, of was I just
dreaming?
My point is the American League is not any better, past or
present, than the National League. There was one statement I
did agree with: The commissioner needs to go!!!

Editor's Note: Nolan Ryan threw one no-hitter during his nine
year stint with the National League's Houston Astros.
Detmer looking for peace
and quiet on the gridiron
AUSTIN (AP) — Cliff Stoudt
hopes to become Jimmy Johnson's
1991 insurance policy.
When Troy Aikman was driven
into the turf by Philadelphia's
Clyde Simmons in the 15th game
of last season, the Dallas Cow
boys' playoff chances also went
south.
The Eagles beat the Cowboys
that day, and with Babe Laufen-
berg at the helm, the Atlanta Fal
cons destroyed Dallas in the sea
son finale.
Although Laufenberg is in
camp, Johnson is running him at
the fourth position. Stoudt, picked
up as a free agent, was on the
bench for the Atlanta game.
Johnson shook the NFL bushes
for help and found Stoudt, who
has been around for 11 years and
spent some of his career backing
up the NFL's greatest quar
terbacks. Stoudt last threw a pass
in the NFL in 1988 at Phoenix.
"He's a pro, a poised guy,"
Johnson said. "He's been in NFL
battles and he's smart. He's also
healthy. It's like buying a car that's
been in the garage a long time.
There aren't many scratches on it,
and the mileage is good.
"He throws well, and he's a cool
customer. I'm impressed."
Stoudt is relatively unmarked in
his NFL career.
AUSTIN (AP) — Coach Jimmy
Johnson was pleased Tuesday
with his first look at newly ac
quired defensive tackle Tony Ca
sillas in a Dallas Cowboys uni
form.
Casillas, obtained Sunday night
from the Atlanta Falcons for two
draft choices, participated in con
tact work Tuesday morning with
the Cowboys.
"In one day's practice, he was
everything we were looking for
and more," Johnson said. "He's
really going to help our defense."
Casillas and Russell Maryland,
the first overall pick in last spring's
NFL draft, are competing for the
starting job at left tackle. Upon ar
rival, Casillas was elevated to the
first unit.
"That's real respectable," Casil
las said. "I'm glad they think that
much of me. I want to show them
that I can play."
Casillas' presence eases a short
age at defensive line due to the
holdouts of veterans Danny Noo
nan, Dean Hamel and Danny
Stubbs.
"Right now. I'm just trying to
get acclimated and learn the sys
tem," Casillas said. "I got a little
winded at one point, but I'll be
OK. Out in this heat and humid
ity, you've got to keep plugging
away."
L AH AIN A, Hawaii (AP) — Ah,
for the peace and quiet of a college
football season. It's a time Brig
ham Young quarterback Ty
Detmer awaits longingly, a time
when he can finally get some rest.
Since winning the Heisman Tro
phy at the conclusion of the 1990
season last December, Detmer has
undergone shoulder surgery, con
verted to Mormonism, grieved
over the death of his grandfather,
been married and made hundreds
of speeches and appearances
throughout Utah.
"It's been a full year," Detmer
said Saturday during the Western
Athletic Conference Football Me
dia Kickoff on the Hawaiian island
of Maui.
"Football season is really my
quiet time. I don't have to worry
about speaking anywhere — it's
hard for me to say 'no' to people
— and my Sundays and week-
nights are free. The only thing is,
it messes up my hunting season."
But make no mistake: This is no
ordinary football season coming
up. Detmer, who played high
school football in San Antonio, has
a chance to become only the sec
ond two-time Heisman winner
ever. Ohio State running back Ar
chie Griffin did it in 1974-75.
And Griffin will attest to the fact
that winning it a second time is
harder than the first. "Having that
tag 'Heisman Trophy winner'
means that everybody wants a
shot at you," Griffin said. "Oppo
nents will nail you and say,
'How'd you like that, Mr. Heis
man?' "
Opponents already began tak
ing snots at Detmer late last sea
son. Just hours after he was an
nounced as the Heisman winner,
Detmer was harassed into throw
ing four interceptions in a 59-28
thrashing at the hands of Hawaii.
Then, in the Holiday Bowl,
Detmer managed to pass for only
120 yards before leaving the game
early in the third quarter witn se-
arations of both shoulders, and
YU was pummeled by Texas
A&M 65-14.
Detmer had a pin inserted in his
throwing shoulder to aid healing.
It has been removed now, and his
left shoulder was allowed to heal
on its own.
He insists he feels stronger than
ever and is throwing the ball with
more zip than before, thanks to a
rigorous off-season weight-lifting
program that added 10 pounds to
nis slight frame. The 6-foot
Detmer will play at all of 185
pounds this fan.
Because of the surgery, Detmer
missed spring practice.
Littles out as
Hornets' coach
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) —
Gene Littles, who battled with his
bosses over the Charlotte Hornets'
first-round draft choice, was re
placed as coach of the team today
by Allan Bristow, who will step
down as the vice president in
charge of player personnel.
Littles will become a team vice
president and a special assistant to
club president Spencer Stolpen, it
was announced at a news confer
ence.
The new director of player per
sonnel will be Dave Twardzik, for
merly a scout for the team.
The personnel shuffle came af
ter Bristow and Littles had what
Littles described as a
"misunderstanding" earlier this
summer over the team's first pick
in the NBA draft. Littles report
edly told two newspapers that he
preferred Syracuse forward Billy
Owens, but that the team would
select UNLV forward Larry John
son.
Johnson was eventually selected
by the Hornets, who picked first in
the draft. He remains unsigned.
