  1. That’s weird…

    Wouldn’t it just make sense to keep him as a slot corner considering thats what he’s comfortable at?

  2. I really hate that they have moved him around so much his entire career. Hard to learn/develop when that happens.

    He should have started his career at outside CB if they thought it was possible too.

  3. Just let the dude settle in somewhere. I bet much year he will be moved again to the slot.

  4. Some of it is just circumstance but it sure feels like everything about Dax’s time at Cincy has been mismanaged. Hopefully he finds his stride.

  5. One of the rare scenarios where having too much talent is an issue. Dax is a big-time specialized talent and would be an absolute beast in the slot if we didn’t already have one of the top slot corners in the league on roster. Not sure what should have been done differently but I hope he is our long-term successor to Hilton when his contract is up. Having a good slot corner is such a valuable asset in the league today.

  6. Legit thought he would be a Hilton replacement. He can body slot guys, be physical with TEs and tackle in the run. Never saw him as an outside CB. Cheering for him though.

  7. Dax is an odd case. He’s clearly too talented to leave off the field, but it’s hard to find a place where he fits right now. Slot would be ideal but we have arguably the best slot in the league.

  8. Hey Zac and Lou….. Michigan figured all this stuff out for you already. Put him in the position that he thrived in at college.

  9. I hope he excels there. My secret hope is that they end up moving CTB to nickel, because he is a monster tackler and awful in press man. I’d just hate for us to be limited to playing Cover 2 or Cover 3 because one side of the field can’t jam and play man afterwards.

  10. I really think Dax could have been a version of Troy Polamalu, but out of the slot. Seems like he has a comfort and an aptitude for making plays from that spot, I don’t get why the team seems to avoid putting him there, even with Hilton on roster.
