Demps came in and took his job. For whatever reason they also have twice picked Keo over him. But mostly it has been Demps being great for a backup.

Can someone tell me what the expectations are for him? I have not paid attention to him at all, and a lot of people here are really excited to see him play.
If he were to be at 100 percent somepoint this season (very questionable) he would be a potential upgrade over dobbins / brady, but still not a cushing level type replacement.
Sharpton was essentially sharing starting time with Demeco last year. If 100%, he's possibly the best ILB we have.
