damn

Heath will step up. Its a bit of a homecoming for Heath too.

IRVING, Texas – Dallas Cowboys safety Jeff Heath grew up around 40 minutes from Ford Field, in Lake Orion, Mich. He attended at least one Detroit Lions game a year growing up and played at the Lions' home for a state championship.

Heath’s return has not gone unnoticed by those in his hometown. He needed to get 80 tickets for Sunday’s game. While he makes $405,000 a year as an undrafted rookie, that’s still some serious coin. But he didn’t have to buy them all.

“My mom had so many people asking her, so she contacted [director of player development] Bryan Wansley and ordered through him and she’s getting money from friends,” Heath said. “I don’t have to pay for them all. My mom is too nice to say no to people, too, so everybody is coming.”

We remember what happened last time when McCray went in vs Detroit.

Eatman is saying Heath will play if he can't go.

Well hope it's nothing serious.

Oh hell

Should have kept Allen for depth, perhaps.

Kind of a nice story for Heath if he does end up having to start. Maybe the homecoming will spur him to step up to the challenge.

On a separate note, I wonder if this ends with Jakar Hamilton getting called up from the practice squad.

 

[Stinger_Splash]

Damn it. This will be a huge blow.

It would damn sure make for a great story.

Hope Wilcox is good though.

It would be storybook if Heath has an outstanding game in front of all his family in his first start in the NFL for THE Dallas Cowboys.

Go for it, young man!

This is not good.

The Lions have two excellent tight ends in Pettigrew and Fauria. Dallas needs good safety play this weekend.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Yikes.

 

[Corso]

Which I guess is reiterating what you guys have already said...

With Heath in there, I am hoping for a return of the forced fumbles. Strip drills Kiffin!
