It’s rare that a 30-year-old defensive linemen is the veteran in the room in today’s NFL, but for Brent Urban, he’s just that.
For years the Cowboys veterans on the defensive line that have been brought in from the outside have struggled to pan out. Whether it be Gerald McCoy, Aldon Smith, Dontari Poe, or Kerry Hyder, the veteran defensive linemen have rarely worked out, but there’s a different feel with Brent Urban.
For a defense that was downright atrocious against the run last year, Brent Urban’s size, length, and strong anchor gives this year’s run defense a chance.
