    Yeah this will help for sure. At least we'll have a sure target when the plays break down and also someone to look to to move the chains. Hope he's TOTALLY healthy.

    Wooo hooo!!! :yeehaw: Ben probably BEGGED him to come back! Now, if we can just get our OC to utilize him, we will be all set.

    That's one thing Haley doesn't have a problem doing, utilizing Heath. Heath had his best year last year under Haley.

    I just hope Heath is ready. We may not see the old Heath for a few weeks. It may take him a while to get comfortable coming back from a devastating knee injury.

    Agree, hope Heath isn't rushing just because he's watching the pathetic games and wants to contribute. Really hoping he doesn't risk a further setback or re-injury.

    Hope he does play this week if he is 100% but, I"ll believe it when I see it. They sure need him on the field.

    the season is saved.

    i love Heath, but if people think his return is going to change things they are crazy. the problem is Haley's offense is so vanilla AND the oline is terrible AND the #1 & #2 wrs should be the #3 wr and would be on most good teams AND they have 3 rbs which means they really dont even have 1 AND his qb has been sacked more times than any other qb and hes probably starting to get a bit gun shy AND they refuse to use the rookies they have that can actually make a difference AND AND AND..........

    Heath will not change much when he returns. Hopefully we make sure he's ready to return and if I was him I hope he hasn't be watching the games.

    The only way we get out of this hole is if we get a young Max Starks signing and and young Flozell Adams signing.

    I'm excited to see him play, and it will definitely help having him on the field, but there are too many other issues right now to be overcome that will still need to be addressed.

    Tomlin said people shouldn't expect to see a red cape and boots on Heath when he comes back and I agree but if you don't think he will help the offense you're nuts.

    Seemed to use Heath alot last year prior to his injuries. Haley tends to love TEs so I think its safe to say if Heath comes back against Da Bears he will get alot of looks

    How much use he gets depends on how well his knee is feeling but just having him on the field will help open other things up.

    As much as we all will be happy to have Heath back this week, lets not forget that he just went through a terrible injury and may not be the same for awhile. I say this because I went through this same injury, and it takes awhile to recover that same mentality you once had while on the field. For quite some time, Heath is going to be in protect mode until he gets comfortable with his surroundings and retrieves a bit of his comfort level. Im not saying he is going to come out and cave, I'm just saying dont be surprised if we dont see the Heath we all respect and love for a few games. All I can say at this point is....HHHHHHHEEEEEAAAATTTTHHHHH!!!!!!

    With Heath playing even if Ben doesn't throw to him he will be a game changer. We all know how good he is and so do the Bears and they will definitely keep him covered. That will open it up for the rest of our WR's provided they get on the same page with Ben.

    A healthy Heath will make a diff. for sure..hopefully Ben can get the ball to him without making it too difficult / uncomfortable to catch. Would like to see Heath back in the game following week.

    I'm not putting alot of stock into the return of Heath Miller. He has alot of rust to get off before he is back to his true form. I just hope we don't rush him back to soon. I would let him stay out until after the bye week.
