I absolutely love this homage to Landry, that they even know to do this shows love of team history and a winning attitude!

This is probably intended to be used as an item of historic or ceremonial point of interest to revisit the past. However, I can't help but doubt that it'll become a staple of our offense as we advance into the team's future.
Besides, Landry would most assuredly roll over in his grave if he somehow came to suspect it was being performed incorrectly -- lol.
Gotta admit, though -- if it actually DID become something we utilized to throw defenses off, I'd be delighted to see it being put to good use. Especially so, if it were to be employed successfully. Old Tom might even approve.

I would disagree as it already has become a staple of this offense.

Not in recent times it hasn't -- and I'm assuming that's what we're talking about here -- not the past.

It was a staple all last season. Each win brought it. How can it not be?

A "staple" is something that's used as a matter of routine, not in a celebratory fashion. That's all I'm saying here.

[Quote =Bluefin, post: 6222330, member: 1624"]It's just a tip of. he cap to Tom Landry.
The team used the Landry Shift as part of the QB kneel down to kill the clock all last season.

Every time i see that i get chills and big smile covers my face. I love the show of respect for those that came before them and established the franchise as a sports icon.

Here we go again -- I saw that the first time and understand it fully. What I'm saying here is that it's now a celebratory "tip of the hat" as has been duly noted. I loved and respected that tactic when it was employed by Landry so many years ago. It's simply a fond memory now and nothing more. It'll never return as a "staple" of our offense, however. There's no need to split hairs and persist in emphasizing two different things. I'm surely not opposed to it being used in celebration, OK? Let's not persist in belaboring two separate points.

Way to beat to death this splitting of hairs. We've now succeeded in transitioning from the ridiculous to the sublime. Let's not quibble over semantics. I think we both know what we're trying to say.

Not trying to start an argument or carry on a debate but you are the only one here trying to make this more than it is. It pays homage to our past and seems to be becoming a regular occurance with our offensive line. Nothing more to see here.

For someone who's not trying to carry on a debate, you seem to be doing just fine -- lol.

Bullflop, it feels like your fishing for an argument. No one in the thread is saying this should become a part of our regular offense. Everyone is saying they admire the respect shown to the Landry era by paying homage to the shift when we are in victory formation. Even those who state this is or should be a staple of the offense are referring to it being a part of the victory formation not part of the regular offense. You really are making a mountain out of a mole hill on this topic.
