Twitter: Heinicke on Cowboys defense

[CouchCoach]

Yeah, there's no shame in being a backup NFL quarterback. That's still a job that 99.9% of the public could never do, and you still get paid way better than almost everyone.

Rex Grossman decided that being a backup and slugging down Jack out of the bottle beat playing for a living. He got 5M a year.

It is why when we play the eagles we have to come out humming and get them down so they can't just pound the rock. We have to make them do what they are not comfortable doing.

 

[stiletto]

Yeah I saw it in his face too. You can just tell he knew that he was up against a different beast.

He got trashed on local radio around the DC area. No credit given to the Dallas Defense. Their QB was just terrible. WFT fans are pretty low football IQ having folks.

 

[Big_D]

Tough kid.. he really took a beaten out there.

 

[shabazz]

Confirmation from a futureHall of Famer is about as good as it gets…..

I think Heinike will want to start, and he shows enough skill that that's not out of the question. He's one of those boarderline guys, could be a low-level starter or a sought-out backup.

"....but at least I made a new friend. Randy's a great guy. We're going to go fishing in the offseason."

And be careful he’ll use you for bait

 

[skinsscalper]

Yeah, I got respect for the guy. He plays hard. He's got some good skills. I think he'll be in the league for quite a while.

Agreed. He's earned my respect this season. Is he a world beater? No. I'm not even sure that he's legit starter material. But would I take him in a Cowboys uniform as a back up? Yes. 100 times, yes.

 

[Whirlwin]

I’m not worried about the defense. It’s the offense I don’t trust.

Don’t worry, we got Prescott for the quarterback

 

[IceBowler]

Blowouts every week is not realistic. This is the NFL, not Alabama vs. Citadel.

Yeah - EVERYONE gets to spend the same amount of money on players in the NFL ..

Question is, can we maintain the level of play heading into the playoffs?That will be the litmus test.

More than just a litmus test. That'll be the final exam.

Considering Tank (foot injury), Gregory (calf), Gallimore (elbow) and other have been off for long stretches, they should be somewhat fresh. I do worry a bit about Parsons considering he didn't play last year, but they are managing his minutes somewhat. They won't be managing in the playoffs unless we have a big lead, so I think we should be firing on all cylinders

If you look at the snap count. It’s all about rotating the players the front , They’re fresh come third down

 

[Cowpolk]

Offense looked just fine last weekend.

Looks lie he just ate a whole plate full of bacon no wonder he is fat

 

[Runwildboys]

The Mean Little Kid is as tough as they come and his teammates love him because there is no quit in him and he took that punishment as long as he could.

I really like watching players with God given talent perform but I love watching players that are all heart and push themselves to their limit.

He is one of their players that need not hang his head. Can't say that for quite a few others. That TE of theirs impressed me as well, he was not going down easily.

He's a big boy, that one is!

 

[Seven]

I honestly felt bad for him and Rivera.........then I farted.

 

[BobSacamano]

What’s not to love about Heinicke? He wants to play in the NFL but can’t. Like a lot of us on here.

He deserves none of the blame. There o line was getting manhandled, **** game plan/play calling and his receivers couldn’t get open.

All this hype about “scary Terry“ and the dude is now Aaidens older brother.

Statistically this is completely illogical. This isn’t the 1980s.

 

[Flamma]

I almost felt bad for Heinike. The Cowboy defense just beat the hell out of him in both games. The man was brutalized.

I felt bad for him too. I want to see the Cowboys hit Rodgers like that.

Heinicke had no chance. He was swamped. Otherwise I think he could be a halfway decent starter in this league. Given the weapons.
