Cooper didn't seem to have a problem learning the playbook in Dallass. He didn't pan out no big deal we gave up a 4th and will probably get one back. Basically got him for nothing.

WR is the easiest Position to transition too, u are just running routes not learning coverages and concepts but I agree HHCD is not that guy. He's too slow for a FS

Far enough but I think you are underplaying the blocking schemes etc they have to learn as well.

Re: Redskins trade for Ha Ha Clinton-Dix

How difficult can learning a new scheme be? Clinton-Dix hasn't appeared anything close to how he did in GB...

Like I said, he is no better and may be worse than Montae. There's a reason GB made zero attempt to resign him. I'm kind of over bringing in all these Bama guys.

Yeah I get they want to bring in a winning culture but it's not that easy.

Re: Redskins trade for Ha Ha Clinton-Dix

Who in the fuck watched tape on this guy from recent history and decided he was worth a draft pick? And what about dont fix it if it aint broken? We have been getting absolutely lit with the deep ball since this clown was acquired. The entire staff and FO needs to be torched. Literally down to the guy who brings the coffee. Thats the bad news. The good news is JJ is gonna help us win out and we getting a wildcard. Yeah im all over the fucking place but I got no choice. Dumpster fire or not i gotta stay positive until we are mathematically done.

The FO acquired him, but it took Gruden and Manusky to put him on the field.

They started him day 1 on a short week, pretty much said Fuck U Montae the rest of the season.

Who the hell thought Apke was going to be a good pick? He was so bad in pre season. Just cause you're an athlete doesn't mean you can play football. Terrible pick.

A rookie 4th rounder was bad in the preseason of his rookie year? Cut him immediately.

That is why we need a brand new front office. Bruce made some terrible picks in round 3 and 4.

I remember hearing a ton of chatter on pods there was a ton of resistance to him.

What's even more frustrating is the stand out guard from VT, Teller was still on the board.

He is ok as a starter in Buffalo as a rookie, despite being a 5th round pick.

Re: Redskins trade for Ha Ha Clinton-Dix

The Redskins front office is so foolish...and yes I'm talking to you Doug Williams...I don't know if you were the driving force behind sending a 4th round pick for HaHa Clinton-Dix but the time to make this trade was not in-season....Clinton Dix has struggled....probably due to the fact he's learning a new defensive scheme after being in another defense for 3-4 years....and the coaches are retarded for two reasons....#1 they are fixing HaHa to do what they are trying to do instead of adjusting the coverages to what he does well....and #2 someone who knows the defense like Everett who has been there longer should be playing SS while HaHa gets up to speed....I'm sure Torrian Gray has mentioned this to Manusky before or maybe he hasn't....seems like the DB coach would realize this....but it's not the DB coach's fault...let Everett start the last game against Philly.
