Postgame – Baltimore

Miami Dolphins CB Cordrea Tankersley (transcribed by Savanna Bell-Stevens)

(So what happened, you got the game ball today?) –  No, I just took my first career NFL ball you know, you don’t get too many of these, they hard so I took this for me, preseason or not.

(Did someone find the ball for you or did you hold on to it?) – No I held on to it for dear life. Um I just took it. Them boys was like let me get the ball so I can get it I was like nah I got it, but somebody took it and said they’ll hold on to it so whoever did it I appreciate it.

(Walk us through that play that was kind of a bang bang play, you kind of stripped it from him on the way down) – “I just saw him run a slant, I just wanted to break on it you know and then I knew, my new. My neuros were to just get the ball out, swipe it. And then once I felt it go to the other side, I just like tugged it, I was like I got the ball, so score. It happened so fast you know.

(You got a lot of playing time today, what did you think of your own performance?) – “I think I did pretty good, still a lot of stuff to clean up technique wise and also assignment wise, but there’s always room for improvement so it’s back to the drawing boards.

(You talk about technique wise, talk about the importance, or how difficult it can be for a cornerback to drive on, or pick off a slant.) – It’s really hard, it’s definitely really hard, because you never know what you’re going to get in this league. I just went with my gut instinct, coaches put us in the right play and I just went and made a play.
