Dix is good, no idea what this guy is saying.

Anyone who has watched the Packers regularly the last 1½ years has witnessed his incredibly uneven play. Though he intercepted six passes going back to 2017, he also gave up far too many plays by gambling in coverage and missing tackles as the last line of defense.

“He thought he was good enough that he didn’t have to study as much as a rookie (does),” a team source said of Clinton-Dix’s mindset the last two seasons. “He’s guessing (in pass coverage). He’s thinking that’s how you get paid.”

In Week 2 against Minnesota he sat back hoping for an overthrow interception rather than stepping up to pick up Laquon Treadwell on a 14-yard slant for a touchdown.

In Week 3 against Washington he gave up a nine-yard touchdown pass to Jamison Crowder even after cornerback Tramon Williams pointed to alert him to a possible slant coming his way.

In Week 5 at Detroit, he gave up an eight-yard touchdown pass to Marvin Jones when he blatantly abandoned his zone in quarters coverage looking to make a big play.

And who can forget how he mailed it in during the last game of 2017, with the Packers out of the playoff race? That’s not the way to play if you’re looking to get paid.

“He’s just so incredibly inconsistent,” said a high-ranking scout for another NFL team.

But that PFF grade though.

He didn't really decline. He always sucked. Watch his play on the NFC Championship game where the Seahawks had the improbable come back.

The 2 point conversion, Russell throws it across the field, ball hangs up in the air forever, Ha Ha makes a laughable attempt at the ball (which he really could have intercepted and ran back to win the game). Instead the Seahawks makes the 2 point conversion so Rodgers can't win with a field goal anymore.
