I just saw a tweet about Tankersley being lights out so far in pre season. I was surprised considering is rep coming in. He's played better than I've been expected.
I can't help but think of Brandon Spikes, Manti Te'o and Rey Maualuga, three thumpers that couldn't cover and all seem to have faded away. LB's these days need to be able to thump AND cover, or they're just turnstiles to short passing games who exploit mismatches ... which is just about every offense in the NFL these days.
