Where are the Jeff Heath haters now?

I thought that Heath stepped up his game tonight and was part of the solid bend don't break defense today that led to a critical division victory. Not to shabby for an off the street replacement.
 
"Hater" is too strong a word for what most people think of the guy, IMO. "Doubter" is more appropriate, but even with that distinction this thread was doomed for failure at it's conception, lol.
 
No way I was stepping into this the last two weeks, because his game in NO was horrible, but I'd been impressed with his range and his playmaking in the fill in games prior...including his strip of Bush in the Lions game. He was involved in a lot of plays again, today. Not just the fumble return, but he saved the td on the long Jacobs run in the second quarter, and was involved in the passing game a number of times.

He's a player who's going to benefit from a year in a training program. And he needs to work on getting guys to the ground when he's in proper position to make a tackle. He'll get better at that, and we'll have to live with his growing pains as that happens. I still like the guy. That doesn't mean I don't want to see our S positions upgraded further, though.
