I'm just not sure he's ready for the spotlight. We'll start to find out on Sunday. I like Macho’s potential. I’m just not sure he’s ready for the spotlight. We’ll start to find out on Sunday.

If it does light a fire under Demps, great. However, I believe the decision came down to one fundemental aspect that separated the two, TACKLING. Demps just never showed that he could make the big tackle whether at the line stopping the run or in coverage. Dawk always layed hat on people who came near his domain on the field. I think the coaches (and I believe I've read quotes about this) didn't like Demps toughness in the tackling game. I think Macho knew this, and decided to show his toughness. I'm sure you watched the game against the Jets, but if you are able to see it again on NFL Network, keep an eye on Macho. The man was an animal that night, throwing his body around and making some big hits. That's what we need in a free safety, and his corner skills will only help in coverage (he was a turnover machine in college). Give the rook a chance. I think this is a good decision.

He's not good enough in coverage. They might be better off shifting Mikell to FS and playing Jones at SS, which is his natural position. Problem is, Sean Jones is not and never will be a free safety.
