Mailbag: Contenders At DT Without Brent?; Wide Receiver Competition?

FRED LONDON
MORRISTOWN, TN
Although Josh Brent hardly played last year, many figured he would return this season in shape and ready to compete for the one-technique DT spot. Now that he has retired, who do you see as the best candidate to play that spot this season?

Rob: Terrell McClain is a name we hear a lot. Injuries nagged him last year and probably prevented him from making the impact the Cowboys hoped for last season. He’s got pass rush ability from that position, which would make him a nice complement to Nick Hayden in the middle.
