My belief is that Lazor is probably trying to limit playbook and scheme because of the OLine issues and trying to not get too fancy, over ambitious right now. 

We've seen a lot of short drops, passes coming out quick, RB's in the flat...he said his priority as OC was getting Andy back in rhythm and he has achieved that in the first 2 weeks.

We've barely gone vertical thus far (I remember one deep jump ball to AJ and that is about it) and since Lazor has come in we have not been having to chase quick scores.  

At some point that is going to have to change and we will need to open it up, hope our OLine can keep a clean pocket for more than a second and hopefully then Core gets a chance to show up.

PS : is Core a YAC type threat??? or is his speed focussed on deep routes??  if its the former then I would not be averse to seeing him maybe getting some of Boyd's targets as whilst Boyd is solid he's not gonna break a long one  (watch him now do exactly that this weekend )

Here is the thing:  By having Core on the X receiver spot (currently occupied by Lafell), you force either two safeties deep (which helps the rushing attack) and the DB guarding Core usually gives a cushion to prevent the big play, opening up shorter routes.

I think this is a prime example of Marv being Marv and playing a vet with a bigger contract than a guy that can actually make a difference.  Pisses me off.
