Is Jeff Heath starting material?

[Arkyvarminter]

The guy has some quickness and strength. 6'1" 210lbs.... 4.40 in the 40 yard dash....10' broad jump and 22 reps on the bench press and a 37" vertical. I had no idea he was that athletic. He has 2 forced fumbles and 4 picks in what little play he's seen. He's also a devastating hitter. He's 25 years old so he's still a young guy. I think anyone would admit that even with his limited playing time he makes plays. Are the Cowboys considering starting him? I think he would do fine, or at least give him a chance and see what happens.

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

Remains to be seen. An issue I see is that he is not the tackler that Church was. But he's better in coverage. We'll see how that tradeoff goes.

 

[ShiningStar]

depends two years ago. no, all of a sudden play maka. kinda like the people who knew Ware had nothing left.

He definitely deserves a chance.never understood the hate on the young man.

We will have to see after the draft what role he will have. He may be the starter, he may be a subpackage safety like Wilcox was last year. Either way, he will get a lot of snaps

Heath is an excellent tackler.

What did he do so poorly 2 years ago? Owned by Megatron a few plays? That's a long line to be in.

I think Heath can be as good overall as Church - he can easily make more impact plays. We keep hearing let's get playmakers, Heath seems to find a way. We'll see.

Church was overrated as a tackler. Heath is far better in coverage. Church was best at lining guys up but I think Byron Jones will be just fine at doing so. For me it makes our defense faster and I love a speedy defense. Man a healthy Jaylon would really be something amazing for this defense.

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

Heath is an excellent tackler.

I think he's an excellent hitter in the small sample size we've seen. I don't know if he's an excellent tackler over a 60 minute game and a season. Remains to be seen.

 

[AbeBeta]

He looked really good late. He's gonna be top three and a key st guy.

 

[big dog cowboy]

We'll find out if the starting SS gets hurt.

 

[RJ_MacReady]

He proved more than Wilcox did without the luxury of 4 seasons of "developmental snaps". I just can't help but think about how much better Heath would be than Wilcox if he was afforded all of that important playing time.

 

[theogt]

Yeah, he was ballin late in the year. Guess we'll see if that was real or not. Maybe the coaches know something we don't.

 

[NEODOG]

We gonna find out

 

[JoeyBoy718]

I don't see why we don't give him a chance unless a can't miss prospect falls into our laps. He's freakishly athletic, has good size, is a solid tackler, is solid in coverage, works hard, continues to improve, and makes plays when he gets a chance. What more does he have to do earn a chance to prove himself?

 

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

I think he can be good, but I wonder if his body will hold up. He's not as thick as you'd like a SS to be

 

[Risen Star]

Yes.

On the Commanders.

I'm sorry, I lost consciousness when you said he was freakishly athletic. What was the rest again?

would gladly trade tackling for coverage
