On second look. . . Carlos Rogers is still one of the worst cover-corners in the league, and was beaten like a big tom-tom - all day! Smoot too, can't cover even the slightly quick wide receivers in the league. Laron Landry was beaten badly many times, and though the team's best db, he's obviously very rusty! And poor Reed, he is a very nice person and has a situation with his son that we all pray for. . . but he's out of his element anytime he tries to cover anyone that has any speed at all. Run support or an occasional blitz, yeah, but pass coverage (especially man-coverage), ouch! That's just looking at the defensive secondary (a second time). If Jon Jansen is healed and healthy, Heyer is not going to represent any improvement AT ALL at the position. Heyer is average and not destined to be anything but a journeyman at best. So, while Heyer wasn't as bad as say the QB, the head coach, the WRs, the DBs, or as uninvolved as the D-line, or the TE, why focus a second look on him anyway? He made little to no difference in the game's outcome.
