Jeff Heath makes you jump, jump.

Well, don’t look now, but leave it to safety Jeff Heath to create some waves. Good for him. Many believe he has the material to start and thrive in the NFL.

I think this is great for the Cowboys, and certainly for the rookies from a competitive perspective. Unfortunately, he’ll have to prove it over and over with pads on.

I’m not saying that I can’t be convinced. I can be. It’s just that I’d like some star power in the defensive backfield, especially after years of enduring some guy named Aaron Rodgers bully the team into bits.

Thanks, but no thanks. I am not biting yet.

The Dallas Cowboys are favorites to play in the next Super Bowl.

Read the headline above again. Now read it to a Dallas Cowboys hater. Let that marinate a bit.

Again, this is the quiet before the storm. Sure, 2017 can time warp into a 4-12, 2015 type season. But it could also be a repeat of 2014 and 2016, too. The youngsters are going to be one more year experienced, with an energy shot from a new batch of rookies.

This is an exciting time for the Cowboys, and fans all over the globe. My goodness, I’d hate to be a Philadelphia Eagles fan right now.

Boo! I say Drew Pearson.
