I'll take the guy who can cover. Because Heath isn't exactly a tackling machine himself.
fair enough, i'm primarily just making a point that there are huge holes in the secondary and pathetic depth at LB

God help this team if any one of Lee, Hitchens, or Lewis go down

Seems like a lot of guys in this thread could use some of these. I even got you the pearls.

If you consider all plays, not just the few you noticed, he was not that good.

I still hold out hope, but he is not there yet.

I kept thinking he looks like he is wearing about 20 pound ankle weights. His feet just look "heavy".

I am not sure I see that.

I think he looks indecisive. But he doesn't look slow when he's blitzing and guys with ankle weights can't normally make that play on that pass late in the game.

When a guy looks indecisive and unsure of himself, he's likely going to look "slow".

100% agree with Cavanaugh
I do too.

He is a shell of himself. He is nowhere near 100% and he may never be.

No player has come back from that type of knee injury. The guy can’t lift his foot. It’s painful to watch. It really is.

And Cavanaugh has always had a bug up his butt about Smith, so I am not sure he's totally objective here. Smith hasn't been great but Cavanaugh is a bit over the top.

It's not like they are playing Smith over some stud sitting on the bench. Hitchens is getting the majority of snaps and is far some a great LB himself. After that you have Wilson. Another "blah" LB.

Great post!

Pick the really elite guys who started that way.

Only give one name.

Claim many others.

Cherrypick. Pound chest.


Well you asked for one and he gave you an example. He didn't say it was the only one.

I agree, I hate it but I am a Cowboys fan. The best players should play not the ones we "wish" were the best...

I can count on one hand the amount of *positive* contributions most of the posters in this thread have made in the past year, as far as analyzing, info, anything actually worthwhile to the board.

On the other hand, every thread where people are complaining, there they are. Maybe because they're incapable of providing anything productive?

The world may never know.

We've now seen Woods miss some critical tackles. I'm not sure he is ready to replace Heath.

And I've seen Heath fail at his primary responsibility - coverage - over and over.

He needs to go. But I have no doubt he's a Marinelli favorite and will continue to play and screw up in coverage.
