PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles are turning to a rookie to replace Brian Dawkins.

Victor 'Macho' Harris took snaps with the first-team defense Monday, a strong indication he's beaten out second-year pro Quintin Demps for the starting spot at free safety

Smitty has a new safety to get aquainted with in double team coverage...

Mikell is the danger man anyway. He got pressure 25% of time he blitzed, had stops within the box on 23 of 27 times he dropped into run support, and gave up just 54% of passes completed against him in 2008.

He's a dead set beast in all facets of the game and the real reason (not $$$ or age) why Dawkins was allowed to walk.

As someone who goes to VT, I know very well of Macho. He often goes for the big play rather than the safe play. He will go for the bit hit rather than the pass break up. He's pretty athletic, but he will get burned on deep plays. He's very aggressive, and it will be the QB's job to make him take that one extra step in the wrong direction.

But yeah, I'm not worried. He's their Charles Godfrey, athletic guy who they're plugging into the spot because of potential.

      I tend to think that you're right, but fans can hope.  Metchie hasn't actually translated so far to the NFL for reasons we can point to, and others we probably cannot. This will probably be his best opportunity to stick and raise his value, obviously because of past chemistry with Young, but I don't think that fans can count on it based upon what he's done so far in the league. It would seem that he would've been given that opportunity in Houston, but they not only drafted one, but two receivers. Tells you how they valued him. Philly didn't blink when they traded him to the Jets who refused to tender him, so no one has really valued what he brings--not really. Moreover, Bryce is in the big boy leagues, now. He doesn't have time for sentimentality when it comes to security blankets. T-Mac and Coker are established.  That being said, chemistry can cause explosions under the proper circumstances, but I wouldn't count on Metchie being anything more than a sub-explosion at best.

      Beyond the locks, that's so gross, there is no reason Tremayne should be our 3rd (as I'm over XL and he shouldn't be higher than #4 on our depth chart this year), just no. It's why I was really hoping we'd just get rid of XL for whatever the best draft pick we can get for him is.  Then sign a true quick twitch guy to be our slot WR, and even then, still hope that Horn Jr might take that spot from them in camp anyways and turn that FA signing into our #4, with Moore as a special teamer who gets a jersey and then Tremayne as that last project.
