Redskins trade for Ha Ha Clinton-Dix

Did not realize it but Dix is only 25 years old.

Although I still like the trade, a lot, it appears Green Bay was not expecting more than a 4th for him if he left in free agency next year. Also, they had all sorts of concerns about his play and locker room attitude.

On the other hand, Dix's words don't reflect the dissatisfaction that GBay seemed to have with him:

I think, when he gets into the locker room with DJS and the 'Bama boys, he will fit in just fine. I still think, if they use him right, he and DJS could be real ballhawks. However, given the communication concerns already existing in the secondary, it is important that he plays well with others.

As a guy living in Packer land whose wife watches every Packer game (and therefore so do I), I can tell you that he's a shitty tackler. He is VERY good in coverage for a safety though. And seems to be an on-field leader, although I had heard whispers that he isn't great in the locker room.

My main concern is the locker room stuff. I definitely think he'll be a good player on the field, and I'm absolutely certain he'll be better than Nicholson.

Hmm. Don't like weak tackling from the last line of defense, the FS, especially with swearinger playing up so much. Also don't like locker room issues. No way would I extend someone like this before seeing how he synchs a month from now. Coverage without tackling does not work well in a 1 high defense which would be ideal for swearinger. Is it a good deal? We won't know until Dec

HUGE MOVE

This is now a SB contender folks. Let that sink in

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, I love the move tho of course

Defense is officially N.A.S.T.Y

I ... I ... am stunned.



This is a solid move. Dix and DJS?? When was the last time we had a safety combo like that??



Seriously, Norman, Dix, DJS and Dunbar are a solid group. Maybe not legion of boom solid, but damn solid nonetheless.



Area 51. This is a fantastic pickup. Perfect timing too with Matty Ice coming to town.

You sign Dix and let Swearinger walk. I'm not sure DJ is as good as he is if our DL isn't as beastly as they are. I truly believe our DL is covering up some weakness in our secondary.



Yes our front 7 is nasty but DJS has been an absolute ball hawk. With or without a good front 7 he has an uncanny nack of being around the ball....

Love the move. not as worried about the leadership aspect. Yes Swearinger is a vocal focus, but in my opinion Jonathan Allen is the leader of the defense, watch the post game interviews this year. He was pissed after the giants game for sure. He is the guy that keeps the team on task. It might be good for Dix to be the not leader.

When we have Landry and Taylor...

Thank you for your informed observations on HaHa.
I figured there must be some minuses to HaHa for the Packers to give up on him. Really great he is excellent in coverage...that is awesome and very important.
Shitty tackling on the other hand is a problem. Bad Tackling can sometimes be fixed. Bad mechanics or angle is fixable.
I hope it is not lack of toughness or injuries, that is more difficult to overcome and sometimes cannot be corrected. I hope he can correct it.
For me tackling for a defensive players is critically important and the best safety's are excellent tacklers.
