Packers S Ha Ha Clinton-Dix tells Jason Wilde of Madison.com that he doesn’t expect to be back in Green Bay after this season.
โRight now, Iโm playing each and every game like itโs my last. I donโt think Iโm going to be here next year,โ Clinton-Dix said. โThatโs how I look at it. I just (have to) be honest with myself. Youโve got to play it game-by-game. Whether weโre losing by 60 points, youโve got to go out there and perform. This is my biggest interview of my career. So Iโve got to perform, regardless of what the record says.โ
Clinton-Dix did say that he enjoys playing for Packers DC Mike Pettine and is having fun overall, despite the team’s record.
โI like Mike Pettine a lot. Heโs given me a chance to fly around and make plays,โ Clinton-Dix said. โWhen guys are doing what theyโre asked to do, we donโt look too bad out there. There are little mistakes we make, but other that, weโre all having fun out there and once we all get in a rhythm and start catching interceptions, itโs only going to bring us together.
โIโm actually having fun โ regardless of what the record says โ because of the defense and the way it is right now. Weโre going to get better. Once we get rolling, weโre going to be hard to stop, if you ask me.โ
