Video: O-line hitch nod to Landry

[Hostile]

I see what you did there. LOL

It only seems logical to me that Garrrett would be involved. Like I said earlier, anything we add to the current Cowboys culture that came from the Landry years, I'm all for it.

I can only hope that when/if Garrett wins a Super Bowl, the players will carry him off the field on their shoulders like Landry's players did, .. instead of the ridiculous custom of dumping Gatorade/water on his head.

When I see teams do that, I always think, .. nobody would have ever done that to Tom Landry.

Has our team dumped Gatorade on a Coach other than Jimmy in the Super Bowl? I agree, not a fan of that.

Doug Cosbie is a local football coach here in Hawaii. He had the team doing it last year. Actually drew a few offsides in the beginning of the year.

Were you doing a Campo reference in your last post prior to #141?

No sir. I try to forget him.

 

[WV Cowboy]

No sir. I try to forget him.

Oh, sorry.

I thought you were when you posted this. - - "Cowboys on three, make it loud. Cowboys!"

I remember one time when we were on Hard Knocks, Campo had the team together in a huddle, and he said "Cowboys on three, ready Cowboys."

But he forgot to say 1-2-3, .. the players all lost it laughing. I think that was after somebody had pantsed him. LOL

What a pretender. I used to say he was the luckiest fan in the world, ... he got to stand on the sidelines, mingle with the players, even wear a headset, ... but did nothing.

We all would love to do that on game day.

Those are the words Garrett uses every time he ends a team speech.

So what's the real answer here? Garrett, the players, or (gasp) Callahan?

 

[CowboyGil]

I'd bet 100 bucks he didn't even know about it and this OL unit did this on their own.

Doubt it.

You're going to wait for a long time. (for a apology) The players deciding to do it outside of practice doesn't change who introduced it to them in the first place.

Callahan. According to Tony Romo.

The mystery of who suggested the Landry Hitch to end Sunday’s game appears solved.

Quarterback Tony Romo said the idea originated from offensive coordinator Bill Callahan. The play, where the linemen raise up and then go back into their stance before the ball is snapped, is something Tom Landry employed during his time as the Cowboys head coach.

“The day before games we kind of started that and the O-Line does a pretty good job with that,’’ Romo said of the routine in Saturday’s walk-through. “I think it’s a great thing, an ode to a lot of great players and obviously a great coach before us.

Your apology will come, I'm sure. You pretended to have insider info, and you not only didn't have, what you were asserting is now proven flat out wrong. Man up.

I said I had insider info? News to me.

Callahan is the OL Coach. I have no doubt in film study he could have shown it to them. In fact, that makes sense that he would. The question is though, why would he show something from the Landry era to this team?

The desire and goal to rebuild the Cowboy way of doing things began with Jason Garrett. None of us, not even Tony, likely knows who had the idea first, and truthfully it doesn't matter to me who did. But the rebuilding of our culture here with an emphasis on honoring our past History has been pushed by this Head Coach more than any of his predecessors. If you want to delude yourself and deny that, be my guest. Another poster said it perfectly, the culture being created here began with him.

The players, not the coaches, liked it enough to put it into the game. I think they deserve the most respect for this. It had only been done in practice prior to that. Who directs practices? The Coaches.

Your comment that I contradicted was the idea that Garrett doesn't even know about and that this originated with the players. In almost all sports in the current generation they know very little about the greatness of the past beyond the players they watched in recent years. The coaches however, were around to see this going on, just like us, and some of them clearly know about the hitch. From there it is simple math to know this came from the coaches because of the culture created on this team. Your initial comment, that I responded to was 100% wrong. That is as close to an "apology" as you are going to get, because I am not the least bit sorry for what I said. Either you can live with that, or you can't. I really won't care one way or the other.

They said they are going too do it again every time the gotta go into victory formation, I hope we see it quite a bit that we are selves can act it out in front of TV. Lol.

Right. You insisted this came from Carrot Top, even mentioned his dad and all. That is now proven to be 100% incorrect. And yes, I would be surprised if Carrot Top even knew it was coming. In fact he as much as said so, when he said "somehow they communicated."

I don't buy into the "change in culture" stuff. It's alot more likely Carrot Top has been put on a much shorter leash than he was on, hence Dallas now runs the ball more. Oh and like, wins and stuff.

You are worshiping a guy who froze his own kicker. Need more be said?

Making these definitive claims, being proven wrong, and still refusing to admit it? Just man up and apologize for jumping to a wrong conclusion, and trying to make it look like you were acting on inside information.

I didn't stutter. Not my fault if you can't understand what was in plain English. You can have the last word because you're probably going on Ignore anyway. Not going to waste my time.

No, you just dissembled. You just moved the goalposts. Now it's "the coaches direct the players therefore Garrett." Which is a LONG way from your original assertions.

you're probably going on Ignore

That would be the highest honor you could bestow.

Who cares who was responsible for it? It was very cool to see, and it's great to see the history of this franchise being recognized. Let's hope to see more of it, because it means that the team is winning games.

I cared that they all (Coaches and players) be given credit for it rather than any of them being stripped of credit over a petty agenda. The culture here is clearly changing. I am thrilled that the players took that from practice to an actual game, and I agree with it being great. That's why I'm not demanding he "apologize" and other silly stuff like that.

 

[Doomsday101]

Frankly whose ideal this was is really not a big deal. I'm glad they did. No one else has come up with this ideal to do this since Landry was here. As much as I liked Jimmy Johnson he never did it, never acknowledge the rich history of the Cowboys. So if it was Callahan or players taking it from practice to game day in the victory formation who cares, what matters is they did this.

 

[Idgit]

I think we can officially say 'changed' now. It's been obvious for a long time that it was changing, but it's changed.

Now, other than the culture, let's see the talent level on this defense change some more, and we might have something. Oh, also we need to keep our QB playing at a high level and to back him up with a realistic prospect, too.

And, for the record, I don't care who initiated the Landry Shift, really. It totally sounded like a Jason thing to me, too, but if it was a Tony thing, or a Callahan thing, hooray. I don't care. It's cool, though.

Initially, you didn't. You heaped the praise on Carrot Top, and insisted it was his idea. And, you won't admit you were wrong.

The only reason we're talking about "whodunnit" was your voracious insistence it was Carrot Top. Pretend otherwise, it's fine. It is on the record.

And, for the record, I don't care who initiated the Landry Shift, really.

Me either. But it's always been called simply, "The Hitch."
