CB Cordrea Tankersley

(What are your thoughts on training camp so far?) – “I think everything’s starting real good. (We’re) being very consistent and getting better each and every day.”

(How would you describe the battle at cornerback? We saw CB Torry McTyer getting reps with the first team yesterday and then you’ve got you and CB Tony Lippett.) – “They’re all well-deserved reps. Everybody is just going in there and competing, trying to get better. As far as Torry getting first-team reps, it’s well-deserved.”

(How much do you think that brings up everybody’s level, that kind of battle?) – “I mean, you shouldn’t need more competition for you to come out here and do your job; but it’s just extra motivation to know that they want competition and they want everybody to come out here and compete. So it just is what it is.”

(What have you or the coaches identified as the main area you need to get better at this offseason?) – “Just be consistent. Just to become an elite cornerback that they wanted me to be.”

(Have you had any hope or expectation of just getting the job back automatically this year since you did start, or this doesn’t surprise you at all that they’ve opened it wide open?) – “It doesn’t surprise me at all. I’ve been battling all my life. This is just another day in the office. It is what it is. Like I said, we’re just going to compete. We’re just going to duke it out.”

(Have they told you that you’ll basically alternate first-team snaps among the three of you essentially? Have they given you any direction as to what days you’ll be with the first group mostly?) – “We have a rep chart. We don’t call it a depth chart. We call it a rep chart. However he puts it up there, we just go as we see.”

(So it was you primarily today with the ones?) ­– “Yes. I mainly most of the time go with the ones.”

(And tomorrow it will be Tony Lippett? Has it been laid out?) – “I have no idea. We just play it by ear.”

(How good do you think the secondary can be?) – “I think we can be very special. I think we can be one of the top ones in the league. We just have to keep competing, like I said, and just go out there and battle each other and go up against these good receivers that we have out here.”
