Other than the 1 big run by Barkley, can you point out the plays in games 1 & 2 this season where he took bad angles that caused a significant gain for the opponent?
Well for starters, I've said elsewhere he played better in the Skins game. He didn't play well in the Giants game and other places such as PFF also noted he wasn't all that good in the Giants game, but way more effective in the Skins game.
My opinion of Heath isn't also just based on two games. It's his career. He's been an average at best starting S. It's been noted elsewhere by other analysts, outlets, etc. Do I want him cut? Nope.
I'd prefer they find a better SS to start and then have Heath play in packages and man special teams. I never said he sucks or is the worst or is too slow or can't play or should be sent packing. He's a guy with a certain skill set that can play a valuable role on a contending team. Starting SS probably isn't one of those roles (you could argue he probably would be better off at FS).
