Jeff Heath posterized again

[supercowboy8]

Man did you see play where the deep pass where Heath again can't make a play on the ball over Avant. This guy needs to be on special teams only.

He got owned by Calvin Johnson
then vs the Saints
then again against the Bears
Then again tonight

each time the ball way up in the air with a chance to make a play on the ball and the guy look lost
can we please get a guy back there that knows how to react and make a play ont he ball rather than jut stand there and watch the player catch the ball

 

[Boyzmamacita]

In fairness, he shouldn't be out there yet. He's a rookie from a small program. I don't think he was brought in to start, but we're so thin at safety that we've got a bunch a guys out there who aren't ready yet.

 

[big dog cowboy]

You realize he should be on the practice squad right?

 

[BlueStar22]

Practice squad player. Thanks for the great depth Jerry.

 

[Kristen82]

Can't fault a player for not living up to expectations that shouldn't have been placed on him in the first place.

 

[ufcrules1]

What is odd is why Heath starts over Wilcox... I don't understand that.

 

[Bleu Star]

Heath was brought onto the team as a project. He was not supposed to see the field this year. Now we all know why. He's not ready.

 

[supercowboy8]

no he should be on special teams only, he is a good special teams player. But this is my point. How are you guys missing this. We need a true FS on this team

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

You know what kills me most about him is that he has speed. He has coverage ability. And then he won't look for the football. He may simply but out there too soon.

Thin at safety?

Guess that's what happens when you cut a starting safety after a couple weeks.

 

[Future]

To be fair...he's white

 

[Cowboyz88]

He's there for the play. He just doesn't make them.

Hopefully, he'll learn how in the offseason.

I'd say sure.....special teams.....but has he even made a play there? Hell no!!!!! It's players like this that just need to go. Complete waste of a roster spot...Teams targeted him all season long and just abused him. You would think a guy would make a play occasionally.....but he just gets worked because he has no ball awareness.

LOL.

Couldn't agree more.

This bum doesn't even need to be on an NFL roster. He's an embarrassment back there in the secondary and it's players like him that we keep trottin' out there that's the reason we are what we are. I'm sick of it!

Not missing anything. This board has been screaming for a FS for years.

 

[Zman5]

He reminds me of how Scandrick used to make me feel when he was a rookie. He is always in position to make a play but doesn't. Very frustrating.

 

[Leadbelly]

Not sure why we test prospects for their vertical. It's not like our players ever jump.

Or if they do, they time it wrong. That is if they turn around in the first place.

 

[revospeed]

Why did we release Will Allen? He couldn't have been worse than this clown?
