And #2 receiver often gets misunderstood here.  That doesn't necessarily mean he is the #2 receiving option, but the WR across the field from AJ Green.  If they go 3 WR, they would include Boyd in the slot.  If they go two WR, two TE, they could rotate Core and Boyd across from AJ and have Eifert and a rotation of Kroft/Uzomah on the opposite side.  

He is, IMHO, the missing piece from the WR puzzle...a big, speedy guy that can take the top off the defense.  Let everyone else work underneath, but give AJ the occasional deep shot, of course.  

I can only think of about 5 balls the Bengals took deep all year....crazy.   You allow the defense to defend only a portion of the field.  People will argue that they didn't have time, but that all goes hand in hand.  You have to make the defense respect the fact that you can throw it over their heads, or they will just thump you at the LOS.

Good to hear Core is trying to make the most our of his opportunity, as far as learning the nuances goes.  

53 completions over 20 yards and 13 completions over 40 yards.  That's just completions, not attempts (because I don't know where to find that ).
