New Dallas Cowboys' defensive coordinator Rob Ryan arrives with the reputation of producing wild-eyed groups that play with a fury.
His players, with the exception of nose tackle Shaun Rogers with Cleveland this season, do go at it with a high energy. Ryan has found the way to keep them from going over the line and taking bad penalties.
In the last five seasons, Ryan's defenses with Cleveland and Oakland averaged 27.2 penalites for 265.8 yards in penalties. That included his 2008 Oakland group, which had a league-low 18 penalties for 265.8 yards. The Raiders overall are annually among the most penalized teams in the NFL.
By comparison, the Cowboys' defenses over the last five seasons have averaged 29.4 penalties for 290.4 yards. The Cowboys's defense accumulated the penalties while playing with less fervor than Ryan's groups.
