CB Cordrea Tankersley

(What’s the competition like, especially getting close to the first preseason game? I’m sure you guys are ready to get it going here.) – “It’s tight all over the place but we’re just out here getting better. We just want to go out here and grind and just prepare for this preseason game.”

(Obviously you’re on your game every practice but does it even heighten more on the days you’re with the ones because it’s not every day?) – “Whether I’m going with the ones or the twos, I still have to go out and prepare. It doesn’t matter who my opponent is. I just have to go out and compete and just show I belong out here.”

(What areas do you want to improve on during the exhibition season?) – “Just being consistent and trying to be that elite corner guy that I know I can be. Just be a competitor each and every day.”

(When you do go with the ones, everybody is pretty much on point, right? It’s not like you’re worried about what the other guy is going to do.) – “No. If you’re going with the ones, you’re going with the ones for a reason because you know what you’re doing and they know you can play ball. They’re not just going to throw anybody out there. So obviously it’s deserved reps. Like I said, it doesn’t matter where we’re playing at. We just want to go out there and compete.”

(What’s it going to be like to finally get out there and play somebody other than your own teammates?) – “We finally get to hit somebody else. We’ve been waiting almost the whole year for this opportunity to go out there and compete.”

(What’s your overall goal for the preseason?) – “I just want to get better, just to show these coaches that we belong here – I belong here – and be ready to take the next step.”

(Is there an extra challenge to pace yourself in a preseason game? You only get a certain amount of time out there. Do you have to sort of find a way to pace yourself and not do too much?) – “I feel like you just give 100 percent, no matter what you’re doing – whether you’re covering a kick, playing defense. Just go out there and show these coaches because every day is an interview. You’ve just got to go out there and compete. However many snaps, whether it’s 10 or 50, you’ve just got to go out there and give 110 percent.”

(Is there something that Defensive Backs Coach Tony Oden and Assistant Defensive Backs Coach Renaldo Hill have been specifically working with you on or stressing since they’ve got here?) – “Just basically reading our keys and just … slow the game down. Sometimes we get a little ahead of ourselves but we just want to slow everything down so we can play fast.”
