Why the Cowboys Jack Crawford is the perfect Marinelli guy

What is the perfect Marinelli guy? It’s a question many Dallas Cowboys analysts ask themselves when scouting possible prospects for the defensive side of the ball in Dallas.

For those that don’t know, Rod Marinelli is the highly-respected defensive coordinator for America’s Team. And a Marinelli guy a.k.a. one of his “Rushmen”, is often a tag given to a high-effort player who relies more on old fashioned hard work than an overabundance of talent.

But that definition may need to be amended now. Because according to the old ball coach himself, the perfect Marinelli defender can be summed up in two words: Jack Crawford.
