Core has more talent than Lafell bottomline, he is just as big, but is faster with more physicality.

He has room to grow, same with Malone. Just give one of these guys a shot is all SHRacer and i are asking.

Dalton has missed Lafell being open a couple times but still, he doesn't get much seperation often.

Nate, I gotta disagree here man. If there's one bengals coach who is fairly well thought of both on the boards and around the NFL I would have to think Urban is one. The fact that Core hasn't played much makes me think that Core is an athletic guy with a lot of speed who doesn't have the qualities needed to be a game day many snap getting WR. Especially considering that this year a lot of young players and rookies are getting playing time, I would say that if Urban thought Core was worth playing as a 2nd or 3rd WR, we would have seen it. The fact that we have not tells me that Core is not there yet. I'm not saying Core can't develop into that in the future (I've consistently said Core will polish into form next year, so I didn't want him cut back when we were talking about how many receivers should be kept).

Remember that this is the same Urban who didn't have a problem playing 5th rounder Marvin Jones as basically the second receiver (either MJ's first or second year, I don't remember which). So, Core not getting snaps is a Core problem not a coach problem.

And (not that you're doing it), don't use the argument that this is Marv's decision over Urban, when Marv is ok playing Willis and Lawson over MJ. That would not be a consistent argument.
