I find all this laughable. JJ Wilcox a player who was drafted from a 1AA school at the time who played safety for one year prior to being drafted, is good enough and the position hinges on him. But Heath who came from Div 2 school is junk. Both came into the league in the same year Heath is probably little more polished as a safety since he has played it more than a year kept Wilcox on the bench. Do I think Heath got abused of course he did, but so did the rest of the secondary all of which have a "better" pedigree than he does. He has not done anything differently than the other guys we have trotted out there in his position the last 4-5 years, Sensy, Hamlin, Williams, Mike Hamlin, Pat Watkins, Alan Ball, Sendejo, McCray, Elam, Church, Poole, and allen. The kid is not a top tier NFL starting safety, but there is a role for him he does need to polish his technique but every bad play he gave up he was in position which is a lot better than some of the aforementioned which would be so out of position you had to wonder if they even heard the defensive play call in the huddle. The kid deserves a shot considering how unsettled the position is.
