Clinton Dix vs Jeff Heath

[speedkilz88]

Dix replacing Heath is more of a lateral move than a upgrade. I too was surprised Heath left, given his time with the team.

Matters what your DC prioritizes in the backfield
Pass Coverage Upgrade, Run Stopping Downgrade

i think its an up-grade,personaly.
i liked Heath....good dude.
but we needed to address that spot.
im glad they did and may not be done.

Spectacular plays? The issue with Heath is I can remember every one of them.

They were few and far between.

I did say some and not many. The one he stopped Derek Carr from a diving score into the end zone likely prevented the Raiders from winning that game in 2018.

Jeff Heath has played 7 seasons for the Cowboys. He has 8 interceptions, 267 solo tackles, 79 assists, and scored 1 touchdown. I believe had more interceptions than any of our corner-backs in that time span.
I would say he was productive, just inconsistent as a strong safety. He could also knock you into next week.

I understand why we let him go and that we are upgrading and am very excited about that. But give the man his fair due.

I was surprised when Heath left the Cowboys, but he might have wanted more money than what the Cowboys were willing to pay. Heath is a more aggressive tackler, but Dix shows up in the right place. Probably a somewhat lateral move to acquire Dix, but his salary is workable, and we are starting to get close to a cap crunch if Dak stays franchised.

This is what I'm hoping as well.

This is what I'm hoping as well.

this move means we dont HAVE to take a S.
but it wont stop us either.Clinton-Dix Woods Wilson and rookie.
that aint bad.

 

[PUSHfold]

Both are mediocre tacklers, but Dix has 20 career turnovers compared to 9 for Heath and Heath has 1 more year in the league.

Yeah but Heath also didn't start for the longest time...he just finally started a couple seasons ago except when there was major injuries and he was in.

 

[Whirlwin]

No, haven't forgotten about them. I just read so much of the CowboysZone and how bad Heath is that by virtue of him not being on the field anymore should boost the defense into top notch territory.

I actually like Jeff I thought he was a solid football player and you have to have guys like him on your team. Give me a team full of Jeff’s and I’ll win a championship. You can keep the prima donnas

I liked him, too.

 

[Whirlwin]

I liked him, too.

I had to re-read your last response. You’re right. According to everybody. Anybody would be an upgrade. I just don’t agree with them.

 

[Hadenough]

I could disagree so much. He’d never had a problem reading the play. He had a problem taking the angle. Obviously you’re right you weren’t paying attention

He was late reading the play. That's why he looked slow on the angles. Kinda your big mouth.

 

[Whirlwin]

You’re going to base his entire career on one play LMAO

SomeoneCan’t handle being challenged LMAO you won’t survive here long. With that attitude. You’re not stating an opinion you’re stating a fact and your affect is wrong

 

[RoboQB]

Heath was/is a SS.
HHCD is a FS.

It's like some of you don't even try... lol

By the way, we will all be complaining about our new FS
by midseason.

 

[Mobinvans]

I despise these 1 year contracts. Especially for younger guys that are decent. It makes all the sense for players that are confident and will bounce back and zero sense for the team paying them to prove themselves. Essentially if Clinton Dix has a good year, he will be gone next. Zero continuity. Idiotic.

Ya drives me crazy

 

[buybuydandavis]

I have not paid much attention to Ha Ha since he has been in the NFL. This is more of a starter kit for those of you that are in the same boat as myself. Interesting comparison for the Jeff Heath haters towards the end as well. Is Hilarious a better player than Heath? You make the call.

Dix is a better overall safety, but Heath would have been a quality backup at both positions and a core STer at less money. With both Dix and Woods in contract years, we've got to develop some young guys to take over for them next year.

Heath is the worst tackler I have ever seen

Do you realize how stupid you sound!

 

[Risen Star]

Which would make zero sense after just signing Clinton-Dix.

Sturm needs to take a vacation.
