The league must not know about this tradition, since it's not a penalty yet.

Why?

Does Jason Garrett get credit for bringing this back?

 

[Ranching]

Even more noteworthy the Cowboys implemented the move during the game the team honored another member of the great triumvirate ---
Gil Brandt.

When did they start doing it and under what coach? Was it Garrett, if so he doesn't suck as much as I thought he did. Don't get me wrong, he still sucks! Lol

So this is more corny than defensive players running into the end zone and hogging for the camera and making spectacles of themselves after a turnover?

Deuce V. (at 5-foot-nothin') is the perfect back for the "Landry Shift."

Because the "Shift" was devised (at least in part) for tall offensive linemen to obscure pre-snap backfield motion.

Right, but now it’s *not* that.

Landry also invented the shot gun. I came on board as a fan around 80-81 during "the shift" era. What a time albeit missing out on the Roger era.

Shhhhh. You are 100% right on that. I 75% expect this to be a penalty in a few years.
