Easily the worst pair in the league. Jones has terrible instincts for the position. Maybe he can play corner but he isn’t a safety.
Heath is awful. Epic failure on the FO rolling with him as a starter.
And while I’m at it, Frazier should Be washing cars for a living. Easily the worst player on the roster not named Kellen Moore

They're bad, but they're not Keith Davis/Pat Watkins and Roy Williams bad.


And yes, Keith Davis is my avatar
at least 2 of those 3 guys can tackle. Frazier and health takes the worst angles I seen my a safety. And the suck at tackling.

It seems we're going 2 deep more than usual and it's killing us like it did when Kiffin was D.C.

Seem's we're reluctant to go single high, but I could be wrong.

And before you ask, I'd roll the dice single high with Woods. He is the most instinctive of the group.

Byron Jones is a bad football player.

It is even worse for him because he thinks he is very good and after he knocks a pass away he begins to showboat like he is really good.

Hate to pile on Heath but I'm gonna.. he wasn't good today.
Terrible angle on the Gurley catch and td run late in the game was a back breakers . He was right there. Should have been a 12yd catch for a first down not a 50 + td

Jones is an above average starter at safety, may need to be a CB.

Heath has been, is, and will continue to be a liability. FO and coaches must admit to that mistake and move on, or we will be victimized all year.

We also have to stop relying on the "magic" of Marinelli and either replace him or give him actual talent to work with on defense.

Jerry admitted he wasted Romo's career by not getting him enough help on defense. Please don't repeat with Dak.

late in the game, I'm pretty sure on back-to-back plays, he wiffed on the RB

I feel I say it every week, but we have had the worst safeties in the league for 13
years

Frazier and Heath had very poor games today. I think they're good special teams players, or in relief roles but the more minutes they play doesn't instill a lot of confidence in getting a stop.

If they continue to struggle, Woods will get a chance, because he isn’t Heath. Jones will not ever play like a first round pick probably, but we have no one to take his job now.

The bad drafting of this team is the bigger issue. We must invest in the front seven. Too many cast offs and rejects and projects now. Couple this with an OL that seems to have slipped, and you have a recipe for an average team.
