Quotations
  • "We're not worried about them guys. We're worried about us going out there and being on the same page, us doing what we got to do, us making plays," Hankerson said. "I don't think it do because you're doing the same thing you would do against any other cornerback. Win against your [isolation], breaking him off, getting open, running routes and catching the football. I don't see it being different or an advantage for us or an advantage for them."
