Heath running down Barkley

Where would Heath rank in the list of top Dallas Cowboys of all time?

If you asked a non-Cowboys fan they would likely say, "Jeff who?" :D
 
Heath is an awesome story. It is sad that people cant get that first season out of their heads. An undrafted safety played every snap on special teams and had to replace an injured safety on the worst defense in the league that year. He didn't take over the league, and people cant get over that one season.

Heath has big value, and keeps getting better. I think he is a good safety.

Everyone likes a good story but I don't want him starting at Safety for the Dallas Cowboys. He is average to below average at best. He can be upgraded fairly easily. As a Special Teams and backup player he's fine...
 
Did anybody notice Jeff Heath run down Saquon Barkley from behind?

The announcer said Heath had an angle but it looked like a straight run-down in that last 5 to 10 yards.

Heath might not be great but he is by far a better Safety than Bill Bates on his best day, yet people loved Bates and hate Heath.
Fans that think Heath is average don't know defense. Period.

Much less his weekly assignment(s).

The dude has saved more than a few games. He ain't got quit in him.

He's better than Roy Williams ever was, IMO.
 
I really dont mean to bad mouth Health

The guy is playing way over his talent level, he gives alot of effort....

But in reality hes our weak link on defense
 
Herein lies a perfect example of why #38 irks me to no end....

90% of the time he's out of position and getting burnt. 10% of the time he's making plays like running down Barkley from behind to keep the legend going....

God this guy's gets on my nerves.
Heath is like my golf game..... bad but fast

Occasionally I'll get a Par and sometimes even a Birdie
 
Heath is decent. He has a tendency to get trucked when tackling though. He’s certainly not alone in the regard. Woods gets run over as well. The Cowboys have done an about face on safety play since the early part of the decade. Back then, they had safeties who could hit but not cover. Now, they have safeties who can cover but get run over.

#38 is in a category all by himself.

He can't cover...

& he gets trucked....

But he makes an occasional legend growing play that is the equivalent of rattling a wind chime...

His coverage skills are above average. He kinda reminds me of James Washington. Better as a backup, starter in a pinch.

Yup, both safeties are very average. But we gave up very little in salary and draft picks for those two and sometimes you have to spend your capital at other positions. Hopefully we upgrade both positions, but the key thing is they aren't a liability.

So do you want to draft a replacement, or which of the players that we have now do you not want to sign to bring in another safety.
