Disagree. Part of a player's impact is the consistency w/ which that player does his job. Heath is extremely inconsistent due to an inability to break down to make tackles. This inability to break down is caused by a poor physical trait, lack of lateral agility. Heath is OK as long as he doesn't have to turn. Problem is, a SS can never be consistent if he can't break down.K, so that's 6 lol, two of which play FS (Jones, McDougald), one who isn't any better in terms of impacting a game (Baker) and one who...had 32 tackles in 8 starts (Harrison).
McDougald will play either spot depending on who takes the other spot. I think Minkah will play SS w/ the other at FSK, so that's 6 lol, two of which play FS (Jones, McDougald), one who isn't any better in terms of impacting a game (Baker) and one who...had 32 tackles in 8 starts (Harrison).
Every safety in the league, except maybe the top 5 or 6, has inconsistencies. That's the entire point.Disagree. Part of a player's impact is the consistency w/ which that player does his job.

He's traditionally a FS, always has been. Right, so at least 1 isn't an SS.McDougald will play either spot depending on who takes the other spot. I think Minkah will play SS w/ the other at FS
It really wasn't.
I missed this before.Tony Jefferson, Addae, Johnson III, Von Bell
There's some more for you, Future.
Your statement was simply incorrect. However, you did get me to do your homework for you!!!!!
In no particular order.
1. Malcolm Jenkins
2. Micah Hyde
3. Reshad Jones
4. Adrian Amos
5. Keanu Neal
6. Landon Collins
7. Patrick Chung
8. Jamal Adams
9. Andrew Zendejo
10. ?
11. ?
12. ?
First read it like next read was followed byI’m not going to list every starting SS better than Heath because it’s easier to name those that aren’t:
none.
Half of those are not better than Heath.Hyde
Fitzpatrick
Chung
Adam's
Jefferson
Burnett
Gibson
Harrison
Vacarro
Honey badger
James
Abram
Peppers
Jenkins
Collins
Amos
Neal
Reid
Bell
Baker
Johnson
McDougald
Outside of those, don't really see any starters better. But definitely don't see any worse projected starters
And even less to suggest that Heath is remotely close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I missed this before.
But basically your homework is just Googling strong safeties. There is absolutely nothing to suggest that these guys are better than Heath.
I already did.Every safety in the league, except maybe the top 5 or 6, has inconsistencies. That's the entire point.
He's traditionally a FS, always has been. Right, so at least 1 isn't an SS.
So again, give me 15 guys who are clearly better at SS than Heath. You can't do it, because there is no difference between #12 and #30. They're all the same player in terms of impact on the game.
I am cheering for us to find a better starter at FS and let Heath excel at his best role: ST's and nickel packages.
This for me.
For all of the stats, PFF rankings, etc. this one stands out. Basic play here. Stops him, gives us a chance to win the game. Any decent player makes that play on Goff

I agree. Can you spell delusional?Omg this thread is embarrassing...this might be the worst thread ive ever seen here
Lol no you didn't. Go look at the guys' numbers you posted and compare them to Heath and tell me how they're better.I already did.
Seriously, denial is a poor argument tool.
I've posted this before, but it was the scheme that got beat, not Heath. He had the TE and stayed with him based on a play that had beaten Dallas earlier in the game. Jaylon was the player who didn't have man-to-man responsibility so, in theory, he should have been accountable for the QB.It's unclear whether Heath should have stuck with the TE or gone after Goff.
My recollection is that Lee flubbed it up. It really should have been a LB to defend against Goff running, not Heath coming off the TE and leaving him to run free. Better to have Goff running free than a TE.
Seeing as how we don't get interceptions, yep that's niceHeath isnt a great S, but he was the starter on one of the best defenses in the NFL last year, and he's not THE reason we weren't #1 on defense.
He's a special teams ace that nobody would complain about if he were the #3 S. Unfortunately we aren't stacked everywhere and so he starts. Every team in the salary cap era has their Heaths.
Also:
2018: tied for 2nd most interceptions
2017: most interceptions
2016: tied for 2nd most interceptions
2015: most interceptions
On a team that barely intercepts the ball at least Heath has been as good as any other Cowboy the last 4 seasons, which is nice.
