Of savages and converts, Kris Richard is the new prophet of rage leading the defense

Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli confirmed the obvious Thursday when he acknowledged that the new messiah on defense, Kris Richard, had assumed the role of his unit’s play caller.

As an energetic and attacking Cowboys defense that has harassed the opposition the first two games with a relentless and physical style is right out of the Book of Richard.

Richard officially came to the Cowboys in the offseason as secondary coach/passing game coordinator after eight years leading the Legion of Boom defense with the Seattle Seahawks, including two trips to the Super Bowl and the title in 2013.
