Landry developed a new defensive formation while a player/coach with the Giants.

Before Hall of Famer Tom Landry was the longtime Super Bowl-winning icon as head coach with the Dallas Cowboys, he was a defensive coordinator with the New York Giants, where he spent six seasons drawing up plays.

"Intent on stopping the run, pre-1950s NFL defenses typically stacked defenders near the line of scrimmage," Robinson wrote. Giants defensive back Tom Landry helped install the system, then further tweaked it upon becoming New York’s defensive coordinator in 1954. Landry, the first-ever head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, led the Cowboys to five NFC Championships and two Super Bowls.
