Heath vs. NO was in wayyy over his head there is no questioning that. However, he was in position to tackle, break up passes, and was hustling non-stop. He went for the big hits and came up empty which is pretty much the same we've seen from Wilcox from time to time, but JJ seems to have a bit of a playmaking vibe to his game and much more upside.

I'm not saying Heath will ever be a starter or star in this league, but I've seen much worse from more highly touted players. Heath's game was very reminscent of Archuleta's vs Dallas a few years back. However I see courage in his game vs cowardice and I think with another camp he will be a fine back up SS in this league. It's too soon to give up on the kid for one horrific game.

TBH, I thought he showed the most heart of the Cowboys D for the full 60 mins. Let's not bury the kid's career after one poor showing. He's an UDFA from a small school and is going to struggle. But my eyes tell me he's got the raw materials to make a quality NFL safety with- good speed, seeks contact, non-stop hustle. When his play recognition improves I think you will see good results.

I'm not ready to write him off, but I haven't seen anything exciting or intriguing to this point.

I should half shown more respect. Well he has charlie hustle in him and he seems acrobatic enough. I do hope he gets a chance and improve all years.

You've seen worse?!???!? Heath couldn't make a tackle or defend a pass, it doesn't get worse than that!

It got to the point where you started to wonder what exactly could Heath do? Becuase he displayed absolutely nothing. NOTHING.

I haven't wrote him off. Different sports but I remember when Steve Nash first came to the Mavs and he played horribly fans booed him. I'm not saying Heath will ever amount to anything but usually games like this where the play is so bad? It ends up being beneficial for the player. That's if he's a player. I'm not sure if Heath is. But no one knows what Heath is at this point.

He's a gamer. We'll see if he's a football player.

Just shut up please. He may have been the man in HS but he is not NFL worthy unless you are in dire straits and need some kid to fill out the roster in preseason.

Heath had no business being on the field. He wouldn't even be on the practice squad of the better teams in the league.
