Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 748014">He's playing a lot of centerfield to prevent long plays on blown coverages so he's just not on screen very often.  He's doing less work up in the box this year; he used to get more looks close to the line when Burnett wasn't injured or not playing ILB.He didn't make many plays on the ball last year either; he just happened to be standing where a couple of air mailed balls hit him in the chest getting him up to 5 INTs.  He's statistically on track to match last years tackles and PDs.  He needs a half sack and one forced fumble to match last year's numbers.Frankly, I did not see a Pro Bowl season last year unless safety play in the NFC was especially mediocre and he got in by default.  Frankly, I don't think when voters consider safeties after a couple of obvious choices they look past the INT count.Clinton-Dix is a steady, assignment sure player.  He's been calling the D signals when Burnett was out.  He doesn't give up anything in the deep middle.  He has good ball skills.  Teams don't thrown much his way when he's in high double-team.  He's just not a play maker on any consistent basis.</blockquote>
