Jeff Heath

When will we admit that he's our second best coverage safety? No props for him tonight? Let's not act like dbs don't drop sure ints.

I like heath, always have, he has become a hard hitter, and I think this is his 2nd int ?
Came at a good point, and he didnt drop it!

Jeff got a bad rep as a rook and it stuck with him unfairly.
Good thing the cowboys kept him around.

Saw 3 great things from Heath tonight.
- Rushing forward to the line, pre-snap, to get a defensive player in the right position. That showed his attentiveness and leadership skills.
- When one of the TB receivers bobbled and then dropped a pass, Heath was barrelling down hard and pulled back last minute. Had the receiver caught it, it would have been concussion protocol for that dude and a fumble. Heath has, IMO, about 85-90% of the hitting ability of Wilcox but much better football I.Q.
- The interception. Heath is a magnet for causing or collecting loose balls. It's just one of those weird traits. There's no way to explain it, but when he gets snaps, opposing players get hurt and we get turnovers.

All I know is we better play Heath against the Bucs.

3 Ints against them in 2 games.

He's turned into a good depth safety. Can't say I've seen him out of position that often, and like Wilcox he can bring the wood.
