Fwiw, Core has 5 tackles in 21 career games.  Steve Tasker, he ain't.  The unit didn't fall apart without him during preseason or the 11 games he didn't dress.  

45 man game roster

11 offense
11 defense
3 kicking game
9 punt team (long snapper + punter)
9 Field goal team (Kicker + long snapper)
10 kickoff team (kicker)
11 kick return team

42 players needed on special teams, (25 on offense, defense and kicking game)

Special teams players do more than make tackles
