Dolphins’ Tankersley Goes From ‘trash’ To ‘turnaround’ In Just Two Weeks

[DKphin]

Dolphins corner Cordrea Tankersley seems to have bounced back after a rough couple of weeks earlier in the preseason.

For a moment, all of the hard work and improvement put in by Cordrea Tankersley the past two weeks was forgotten.

Early in Thursday night’s preseason bookend, Tankersley let Falcons receiver Devin Gray get behind him down the right sideline, and with an in-stride throw, Atlanta would be in the end zone.

Then Tankersley, the Dolphins’ second-year cornerback, caught a break. Kurt Benkert’s pass hung in the air, forcing Gray to halt his momentum and come back for the ball.

That delay was enough for Tankersley to catch up and use his size to get enough of the football to jar it loose.

He got lucky.

I hate that they talked that play up as it would have been a TD if there was any semblance of a throw by Atlanta.

He got lucky.

Hopefully a bit of confidence will go a long way with him.

 

[hoops]

I hope I see this turnaround on that tape tomorrow. Cause he’s been poor in everything I have seen.

Lmao he has been underwhelming but he will stick due to the lack of CB situation we have on the roster.

Prepare for disappointment.

He made strides last year and had stretches of solid play. Here's to hoping he improves when the lights come on next Sunday.

Hopefully a bit of confidence will go a long way with him.

That’s what I’m hoping. It sounds like the lapses were mental so maybe he needed to get his feet wet. At least I hope that’s the case.

 

[hoops]

Blew too many assignments now he’s just blowing individual coverage primary asks.

Most disappointing dolphin in the building. Hands down.

 

[hoops]

Anybody signs an extension during the season long term it will be x.

Miami’s putting a lot of pressure on itself to lock him up.

I’m surprised he’s struggling.

Mental lapses were never normal at Clemson, he balled out weekly playing tight man coverage. He gave up some plays but made plenty of his own. Highly disappointed in his play, especially after his hot start against NO last year. He baited Drew Brees, ****ing Drew Brees.

He’ll end up deserving it. Weeks 13-17 he allowed a 7 passer rating. A. 7.

 

[hoops]

longer we wait the more potential for top 5 money with x.

I think it’s pretty much there already if not it’s damn close

Most disappointing dolphin in the building. Hands down.

My vote for most disappointing is Parker.

 

[hoops]

My vote for most disappointing is Parker.

I haven’t seen Parker in games I’ve seen tank. And it’s not encouraging. Somethings missing with that kid. Lacks confidence bad mojo on the boundary
