Great question. All I can surmise (and I don’t know this for sure, because honestly the coaches have been a bit edgy since the Zampese firing) is that he’s not doing what they want to see in practice. Generally speaking, when we wonder why a certain player isn’t on the field – it’s because he hasn’t earned it during the week or weeks prior to. I’ve only seen Core on the field of late to basically give Green his breathers.

Now, this also could be a function of the new OC. The deep drops for Dalton have greatly diminished in order to protect him. It’s hard to go deep when you want the ball out in 2.5 seconds, which is what he’s averaging since Lazor took over. So perhaps they feel LaFell is still better at what he’s being asked to do than, say, Core. But you’re right – with no Ross or Eifert this team is right back to where they were a year ago with no one else who can get open in a step outside of Green.

@Truck_1_0_1_ - Ya, covering golf is great

Thanks for being here for us, big guy.  Speaking only for me, every time you respond, it's like a letter from home that I can't wait to read or a care package in Boot Camp.  I'd say keep up the good work but it doesn't even need to be said.  Rock on, Jimbo.

I have a question.  Have you ever been called Jimbo?  I usually end up calling every Jim I ever meet Jimbo at some point and it doesn't even matter much if they like it or not because I like it so much.   Due to its vital importance, I feel this question must be answered post haste.

Another question, equally vital--where'd you go to school?   Or any other details about yourself you'd like to divulge.
