Cornerback Tony Lippett

(On how training camp has gone for him so far) – “It’s been good. (I) come out here every day trying to get better (and) compete against some of the best guys. Basically, every day (I) try not to take a step back (and) always move forward and make plays.”

(On whether he is still learning the cornerback position after playing wide receiver in college) – “Every day, you always learn. Everybody is out here learning. At the end of the day, I’ll never know too much about the position, and every day, I’m still learning. I’m learning from some great guys around here. Every day (I) just try to take their knowledge that they give me and get better.”

(On what he wants to accomplish in the first preseason game) – “(I want to) go out there and compete, make plays, and show them that when it’s time, I’m ready.”

(On competing with CB Chimdi Chekwa for a starting role) – “I can’t control any of that. I can control how I approach the game and approach practice every day. That’s what I try to focus on. (I) try to come out here and get better, compete and at the end of that day, show them that I’m making strides to become a better cornerback and a better person every day.”

(On what he does well as a cornerback) – “I’d probably say I’m better at the line of scrimmage. I’m better (at) understanding what the offense is trying to do.”

(On whether his length helps him at the line of scrimmage) – “Yes. (Defensive Coordinator) Coach Vance (Joseph) tries to instill in me every day (to) use my size, use my length. At the end of the day, everybody doesn’t have that size and that length, so I have to use it to the best of my ability and make it something that I use all the time.”

(On whether he dissects his play on film) – “Yes, I’m that guy. I watch a lot of film. I watch a lot of film of myself. I like watching all the time, so I go back and say, ‘OK, you got to have better technique on this play,’ or, ‘That was a good play right there,’ and analyze everything. I try to do that as much as I can, because I feel like at the end of the day, that’s going to make me a better player.”

(On how much film he watches a day) – “I watch a lot of film. I don’t know how much. I watch hours of it.”
