Why is Jeff Heath still starting?

StevenOtero · Sep 17, 2019

Better yet, why do the hOt bOyZ only have two sacks?

Maybe if they would have drafted one player instead of Hill, we would not be having this conversation but instead we took Hill and for the S position we went shopping at Goodwill again.

Apparently no one we have can beat him out. We don’t seem to be trying very hard to find someone.

I don't know anything about dead horses but I think you are right. I do however have experience with dead camels. When I was in the military we had to decommission one of our humvees because of some moran's decision to run over a dead camel that had been rotting in the desert. Hitting a rotting camel carcass is like hitting a brick wall and makes the maggots and blood fly up in the air and then fall from the sky like rain. That humvee smelled like death from then on. True story.

Methane builds up and expands a carcass like a balloon. That humvee basically popped a dead animal balloon. Not a smart thing to do.

That was the quintessential Jeff Heath game................. made a few plays/tackles, missed some others, had an interception and possible pick 6 bounce off his helmet because he wasn't looking for the ball.

so true. when he has an average game like this, that's as much as we can ask of him out there. just make tackles and don't let anyone beat you deep. if he does this, he did OK...and OK is all I expect out of Heath.

basically, just don't get exposed.

I can blame them for our Safetys needing to be LBs and having to make 10-12 tackles way down field.. look I said its TEAM D issue not heath issue..moving on..

two bad teams looked very good against us..thats sad..clean it uo stop using Heath as a scapegoat..

I'm not claiming Heath is the only problem..........................But he is a weak link , along with the absence of an immovable force at DT and lack of a pass rush (as has already been mentioned).................

Because the Cowboys don't have a better option on the roster at the moment.

Next question.

I don't know why fans can't see that it is as simple as that. It's the same reason Crawford has been starting. They both are try-hard, good-team guys who aren't great but are at least good enough compared to what the team could put out there.

Yep, there's others that need to step their game up too. The difference is I think they have the ability to play better. For Heath, he's playing his best now, I just don't see getting any more out of him. So then all I can hope for is that he plays well enough not to get exposed by the opposing offense, at least not for a Big Play.

Reminds me of another dead thing that shouldn't have been popped... the horse that was mentioned when starting this thread.

I never been a fan but so far this year he has been solid IMO

I'm sure that I will get tarred and feathered for this, but, if Woods is out for an extended period of time, I would move Heath to FS and put Donovan Wilson in at SS.

The ball hitting a Safety in the back of the helmet is the most idiotic method of evaluating a Safety that I've heard.

Yeah, can we put that one up for vote as dumbest statement of the year?

kind of the same argument some use for Dak a good game here and there and he's a great guy.

Not sure the parallel there.

if your missing the parallel it's because you aren't looking or you just don't want to.

Its just a bad example. But you can try again if you want.

Fans seem to feel that their team "owes" them an All Pro at every position.

Seems to me, it's more than that....
But I look thru dark sunglasses ha

Why do people say they hate to beat a dead horse but then commence to beating that dead horse.

It’s ALMOST as if they actually love beating the dead horse

pugilist · Sep 17, 2019

Heath is the least of our concern on defense right now (although that pass that hit him in the head should've been easy pickings.. come on Jeff)

where the hell is our pass rush?

I'm sure that's the plan for FS. Heath has played there and has experience at the position. Some would argue it's his more natural position. Wilson I'm not so sure about. I'm certain he'll get some snaps, but I'd think Frazier would start in front of him.

Heath is a good player. You guys must have forgotten all the absolute JAG safeties we're had in the recent and distant past.
