The Landry Shift

This is a good video compilation of The Landry Shift when Landry was the HC. The beginning describes why the shift was used. Good stuff.

They were like a well oiled machine!

They really broke the mold with Tom.

I don't understand why this franchise stopped using the Landry Shift in its offense? It could seriously help our offense.

Love it

Knew this a long time ago. It confused the defense before the snap. Landry was a genius.

Garrett, not at all like Jerra thought he might turn out to be. lol

Misdirection, it's always misdirection - be it Houdini or Landry

Oh brings back the memories of my brother and I in middle school playing football in the house, he was a Phins fan and I always was the boys, I get the ball and sound out my callouts like Roger and then do my OL shift and my brother and dad would be on the floor laughing at me. Love those 70’s.

Completely agree. It could be our 4th and short play instead of the tush push. I bet even if done correctly and legally it would also confuse the refs too and they would throw flag and unfortunately could not be challenged by the rules.

Cowboys OC Klayton Adams on the offense doing the Landry Shift during victory formation: “I think it’s pretty cool. In my opinion, I think it’s kind of a respectful thing. I don’t think it’s something you’re doing to shove it in the other team’s face or anything like that. I think it’s a really cool way to pay homage to the past and kinda tip your hat to where this sport has come from and where the Dallas Cowboys have come from, where this league has come from. I’m into it. I want to do it as many times as possible.”

I wonder why they won't incorporate that into our offense? I mean, why not?

Because guys like Guyton would jump every time lol

it's not a false start as long as (a) none of the linemen start out in a 3-point stance before shifting and (b) all 11 players reset for a full second before the snap.

That's also why it won't work. To do the shift, the guards can't start with a hand on the ground. The defense is unlikely to fall for it.

Man, I love the The Landry Shift. They need to bring it up date and make it more of a pelvic thrust motion when it's divisional, like the Landry Shift meets Nate Thomas' celbration dance.

I remember it like yesterday, it just kept everybody focused and on snap count

After watching Dak fail to get a defense to jump on 4th and short time and time again, they should use this shift to get the defense to jump offsides when its really needed.

See......now you had to make it nasty.

Yeah good point. Thus why it is not still used. Still like to see it tried once just to see what happens tho.
