Landry brought the shotgun back to give Staubach an advantage. It was typically only used in 3rd and long yardage.
Why is this team now constantly going into shotgun formation on it seems, almost every play? What's with the quick trap out of the shotgun? Why be in the shotgun on short yardage plays? They even go into the shotgun inside the 5.
To me, being in shotgun formation tells your opponent what you're not going to do. It's easier for a defense to read what you're not going to do as opposed to what you are, which makes it all the more difficult to succeed..
