LOL.......or maybe your hero Garrett remains a complete moron with his choice of making the worst starter on the team a captain.

WRONG WAY IDGIT rides AGAIN!!!!!!

You’ve been the only one wrong. Here’s proof.

So are you now claiming that Heath is a great safety? Maybe you should put up 5 quotes about him being great.

No, I am not now claiming that.

If you want to see what I am claiming, there are some posts about that up above in the thread that are pretty straightforward.

Then stop defending him like he is your hero.

Lol! “Football consensus.”

Except for their team, who pays them, which is the real thing you don’t like because you think Crawford is overpaid. And their teammates, who made them both captains. Other than that, consensus.

And by “consensus” you mean you and Cowboy Roy who can’t get his own shoes on the right feet, rhetorically speaking, and then blames Jason Garrett for it. Quite the Wolfpack.
No one that watches football or any analyst on tv will tell you ty craw or jeff heath is good sorry fam

The PFF grade is most likely primary based on them blaming Heath for that play.

Barkley only had 61 yard on ALL other runs.

If so, I agree PFF was wrong Heath's score. He made poor decisions on the play but was in a tough situation.

When healthy, Thompson is a better safety than Frazier. Both were selected in the 2016 draft - Thompson was a 3rd round pick, while Frazier was a 6th round pick.

Good to hear about Thompson, but he's a FS, and I'd rather have Heath backing up FS over Thompson. He's also on a one year deal til free agency. He's not a player to invest development time on. No reason not to upgrade from him.

We don't have a single good in the box SS. That's what I would be addressing first with a new signing. Getting an overall SS is better. That frees Heath up for special packages and backing up both starters.

Maybe Wilson will be an ok SS, but I'd rather get a vet who is better.

Wilson back, bye Frazier.
Sign/trade for veteran SS, bye Thompson.

Week One results proved infuriating.
Jeff Heath (6-1, 212) once again showed incompetence tracking the runner in the open field. The tight end feasted on exposing his pass coverage.
I reviewed the top 4 pass receptions the the Giants TE.
  • I'm not certain that any of them were the fault of Health.
  • Maybe the 13 yard reception but it was zone coverage and it's impossible to know.
  • It really looked more like it was on a LB but again there is no way to know the exact assignments in zone coverage.
  • Do you realize that just because Health makes the tackle that it does not mean he was at fault on the play?
  • E.Manning pass deep right to E.Engram to DAL 30 for 22 yards.
  • E.Manning pass short right to E.Engram to NYG 44 for 19 yards.
  • E.Manning pass short middle to E.Engram to NYG 25 for 14 yards.
  • E.Manning pass short middle to E.Engram to DAL 38 for 13 yards.

The long run by Barkley was not the fault of Heath; although Heath did make a mistake.
  • Heath was 15 yards from the line when Barkley passed the line untouched and with open field in front expect for Heath.
  • No NFL Safety is going to make that tackle very often and not without some luck.
  • Heath did make a mistake in that he needed to cut off Barkley's path to the outside and funnel him back insider where other defenders were located.
  • Even with a perfect decision by Health, it's still a 30 yard plus gain.

Thompson did start 16 games at FS in 2017 for another team.

I'm not sure how you compare Thompson vs Heath at FS.

Both are free agents after the season. Thompson won't cost much to re-sign unless he becomes a starter this season.

Frazier is good in the box against the run but Kris Richard does not appear to trust him in pass defense; although he did start games 1 and 2 of 2018.

Wilson is the upside player. He played primarily at FS in the preseason but his tackling was good and he is a sturdy player.

I don't see them getting a vet that is an upgrade this season. That would require a trade.

Hopefully Wilson is the real deal at SS but if not they do need to consider drafting a Strong Safety next year.

There were a lot a decent Safeties in the draft but most of them were Free Safety types.

Minkah is the talk of the town. With the same agent as Taco.

And Eric Berry is still out there. Though I think Berry just may not be interested in the money teams are offering. But I could see him getting more interested later in the season for a SB contender. And I suspect that of the contenders, we have the biggest need at S.

Heath was down the list of people to blame for the big 59 yard run by Barkley.

Heath was 15 yards from the line at the point Barkley crosses the line.

Heath should have moved more to the outside to force Barkley back to the inside where there were other defenders; however, expecting Heath to make an open field tackle on Barkley when Barkley starts out 15 yards in front of Heath in a complete open field is NOT realistic.

The PFF grade is most likely primary based on them blaming Heath for that play.

Barkley only had 61 yard on ALL other runs.
Lol go look at all the other runs heath played terribly on. Go watch that some of the pass plays. That 4th and 1 play Eli rolls to the right and heath is engaged on the end the whole time it's hilarious to watch

I've liked Heath at single high FS since 2017. Could always break on straggling free balls, but was starting to get the knack on cutting off WRs for the ball too. I would have gone with him at FS in 2018 and found a SS to pair with him.

Heath could have been a good single high FS.

GOAT!

Heath just generally does nothing. He is late to the game. Usually there 10 yards down the field to jump on the pile.

I am guessing that if Wilson or any other safety we have can beat out Heath then they will be playing.

Same thing you goofs said about Wilcox. B b but if Heath was better he’d be playing. Like Garrett doesn’t make dumb decisions lol. Not saying Wilson isn’t better than Heath, but to say he’s not just because he hasn’t taken his job is bs
