Well let's hope he is right.
After all, he's not replacing Darren Woodson and Deion Sanders in their prime..we are replacing a couple "solid" players past their prime.
I wish draft day would get here already so we can get excited about something.

The guy looked like he didn't belong on the field when he got extensive playing time a few years ago. It is possible for players to improve though.
I personally believe his upside is a lot like Wilcox, he is better in small doses. If you give opposing defenses an opportunity to strategize against him, you're going to be in trouble.
As I said, players improve...I wouldn't mind giving him a shot to earn the starting spot but I wouldn't be married to him starting either.

Interesting that he mentioned Heath as being a leader. Then he mentioned his play vs Packers. My have time and perceptions changed about Heath. He has improved every year he's been here. Is he an upgrade over Church? Only time will tell.

It would be nice if Rob Phillips had a good enough grasp of the English language to actually convey what the **** he means.

I'm glad Stephan has a vision, an old school football vision (build from trenches, with youth as focus). He's not just someone who'll copy dad's style

Yeah. It is easy to tell that the front office is now running the team correctly. Talking about leaders, character, taking BPA, and focusing on the right things.
Sure is nice to finally trust the team to make good, sound decisions. I have felt this way since about 2011. Before that it was when Jimmy was still picking players.

I really think he is. Way, way faster and much more athletic than Church. He may be the fastest member of the secondary. Just as smart and much younger.

He may not be an upgrade over church but if he is not a liability compared to church and he can be a bridge to a young player with potential then it's a good move

S Jones on J Heath's game vs. Pack: "If you turn on the tape & watch that, there are a lot of people who wonder why isn't that guy starting"
Heath is a quality backup IMO and possibly a "glue guy" on a team. I respect the Jones family as a whole and Stephen very much but the only folks who wonder why Heath isn't starting are at the Star or used to work for the Joneses.
Upgrade the defense as a whole and the starting safety next to Byron Jones. Do love that he continues to relay the emphasis the team is putting on the defensive side of the ball for 2017.

his career just reminds me of bill bates. Guy who started off as nothing more than a ST guy and worked his way up and became a good starter for the team

If Heath is our Day One starter, this team is in trouble.
