after the trade between Washington and Green Bay for Safety HaHa Clinton-Dix.Dougherty says that the success that Clinton-Dix enjoyed in his Pro Bowl year of 2016 ended up hurting his career.In other words Womens Jamison Crowder Jersey , Packers fans saw Clinton-Dix as a bit of a Diva — a guy who played well, but then thought he had earned a big contract and stopped working.The Redskins have had their share of players with similar, if not identical, issues.Baccari Rambo apparently didn’t study film until he was cut by the Redskins and signed with a new team.We heard regular reports about Preston Smith in his rookie year that he didn’t know how to be a professional — that he was inconsistent and often lazy.Bashaud Breeland was reported by some to have been miffed when Josh Norman was signed, feeling that he was the Redskins #1 corner.The name Breeland, and the word “attitude” were often stitched together in the same paragraph.Some players recover from such issues.Some never do.But, what, exactly, is it that Packers fans are complaining about with Clinton-Dix?The comments from a few Packers fans recently indicate that HaHa started thinking that he was more important than the team; that he was forgetting about assignment football and freelancing too much; that he was hot-dogging in search of personal stats instead of team success.I don’t know if all that is true, but I’ve seen it from a few different sources, so let’s assume for a minute that this is an accurate portrayal of HaHa Clinton-Dix as a member of the Green Bay Packers.It would explain, in part, why the Packers were wiling to deal him away for a 4th round pick while they are fighting for the division lead in the NFC North.Is there any reason to think that he might be different or better as a member of the Redskins?There are probably a few:Oh, shit! First, it has to be shocking for a player to get traded under these circumstances Youth Montae Nicholson Jersey , even if the trade itself was expected — and HHCD’s comments in the days prior to the trade indicate that he was expecting to leave Green Bay — via trade in October or free agency in March.But the circumstances would still be a bit of a slap in the face.HaHa Clinton-Dix was the first round draft choice of the Packers 5 years ago.He has started for the team since his rookie year.He made the Pro Bowl in 2016.The Packers exercised their 5th year option to keep him on the team.Clinton-Dix has been compiling stats, and was ranked as one of the top safeties in the NFL in 2018 by PFF.HaHa seems to have had his eye on a big payday in the coming free agency period.But his team just traded him away for a mid-round draft pick.That’s gotta sting at least a little bit.There were reports that Rambo changed his work habits after he was cut by the Redskins, and that he described getting cut as the catalyst that was needed to make him understand that he needed to change.Clinton-Dix has enjoyed a lot more success than Rambo ever did, and being traded is not the same as being cut — especially when the fan base of the new team is so obviously enamored with the player.But I think there’s a second, and much more powerful set of forces at work: the pressure Clinton-Dix will face in the Redskins locker room.The D.J. Swearinger effectFirstly, there is D.J. Swearinger.He has been the heart and soul of the defense (or at least its mouth) for the season and a half that he’s been here.He was voted captain in his first season with the Redskins.D.J. went through four teams before he finally settled in with Washington.He describes this as ‘home’ now, and talks openly about how happy he is to be in the same system for a second consecutive year, and how it helps his play.Swearinger is a vocal leader who backs up his mouth with his play on the field.D.J. and HaHa spent the off season working out together.They are great friends who have spent a lot of time this week talking about “brotherhood” and “love” between them.Swearinger talks a lot about accountability with the Redskins, and comments from teammates and coaches indicate that it’s not just a topic that he rolls out when a reporter sticks a microphone in his face. The pressure of playing together with his ‘brother’ D.J. Swearinger will ‘force’ HaHa Clinton-Dix to be responsible, to play his assignment, and to never take a play off.Small Fish, welcome to the Big PondSecondly — and I’m so happy to be able to say this with a straight face — the Redskins defense is a talented group that is playing together like an elite unit.Clinton-Dix is just one of many players with a first-round draft pedigree.Ryan Kerrigan, Jonathan Allen, and Daron Payne were all first round picks, and all of them are among the hardest workers on the team.D.J. Swearinger Youth Zach Brown Jersey , Zach Brown, Ryan Anderson, and Preston Smith were all second round picks, and Fabian Moreau, taken in the third round, was considered a first-round prospect prior to a combine injury.And this team has plenty of pro-bowl players: Josh Norman, Zach Brown, and Ryan Kerrigan.Pernell McPhee has a superbowl ring.In other words, Clinton-Dix will be surrounded by accomplished pros who are having success.The team is 5-2 and in first place in the NFC East.The Defense is ranked 4th overall in the NFL.The pressure will be on HaHa not to fuck it up.Roll TideFinally, and most importantly in my mind, is that HaHa Clinton-Dix went to Alabama, and he’s walking into a locker room filled with Alabama players — and especially Alabama defensive players.Jonathen Allen, Daron Payne, Ryan Anderson and Shan Dion-Hamilton are all young players who take pride in the culture of hard work and discipline they brought with them from Nick Saban’s program to the Washington Redskins.I have no doubt that these younsters — a little closer at this point to the experience of being Crimson Tide players — will be reminding ther older brother HaHa what it is that makes Alabama players special.The pressure will be on HaHa to live up to expectations. Final thoughtsI expected Clinton-Dix to be brought slowly into the mix with the Redskins.At least one journalist thinks otherwise.HaHa Clinton-Dix is undoubtedly a talented player — no one disputes that.However, a lot of Packers fans have felt like he got a bit lost along the way Authentic Josh Doctson Jersey , and forgot what was important, and what was necessary to stay on top.The Packers wanted to get rid of HaHa Clinton-Dix.The only way this trade works for Washington is if the player reverts to the successful habits that made him a blue chip prospect, a 2-time BCS National Champion, a consensus All-American, a first-round draft choice, a pro-bowl player and second-team all pro.Fortunately, like the Adrian Peterson situation where all the stars seemed perfectly aligned, the situation in Washington may be exactly what Clinton-Dix needs. The Redskins could certainly use a 25-year-old safety with his skills in the prime of his career.It feels like a marriage made in Heaven.Hopefully it’s not the road to Perdition.Washington Redskins Training Camp Day 3 live updates Redskins players and coaches held the second day of training camp in Richmond, VA yesterday. Day 3 of practices starts today at 9:45am. Jay Gruden held another presser and let the world know that Joshua Holsey "severed" his toe. We're still waiting on confirmation/clarification on that one. Zach Brown returned to practice after straining his quad on the first day of practice. Daron Payne gave everyone a scare when he collided with Brandon Scherff. Bruce Allen hovered over him while he was down, but the big man said he was ok despite injuring his ankle. Ryan Anderson left the field with the help of trainers due to back spasms that sidelined him for the rest of the day. Rob Kelley also ended practice early due to heat-related symptoms. Both are day-to-day. The pads go on today in front of the first weekend crowd of camp this year.Training Camp ScheduleSaturday, July 28 9:45 a.m. Practice4:40 p.m. WalkthroughSunday, July 29 9:45 a.m. Practice4:40 p.m. WalkthroughTuesday, July 31 9:45 a.m. Practice4:40 p.m. WalkthroughWednesday, Aug. 1 9:45 a.m. Practice4:40 p.m. WalkthroughThursday, Aug. 2 9:45 a.m. Practice4:40 p.m. WalkthroughSaturday Youth Trent Williams Jersey , Aug. 4 ^ 1:30 p.m. PracticeSunday, Aug. 5 9:45 a.m. Practice4:40 p.m. WalkthroughMonday, Aug. 6 9:45 a.m. Practice4:40 p.m. WalkthroughTuesday, Aug. 71:35 p.m. PracticeSaturday, Aug. 111:35 p.m. PracticeSunday, Aug. 12 * 1:35 p.m. PracticeMonday, Aug. 13 * 10:35 a.m. Walkthrough3:00 p.m. PracticeTuesday, Aug. 14 * 1:35 p.m. PracticeWashington Redskins Preseason ScheduleNew England Patriots Thursday, Aug. 9 7:30 p.m.New York Jets Thursday, Aug. 16 8:00 p.m.Denver Broncos Friday, Aug. 24 7:30 p.m.Baltimore Ravens Thursday, Aug. 30 7:30 p.m.NFL News twitter feed:Tweets from https://twitter.com/HunterLoganX/lists/ … rsRedskins twitter feed:Tweets from https://twitter.com/HunterLoganX/lists/beat-writers Custom Houston Texans Jerseys
