With James Wright now gone in front of him, and a year of experience, he now moves into the just playing phase and out of the has to think about it phase. He could provide the deep threat opposite AJ that Marvin Jones had provided. He doesn't have to be the #2...he just needs to make opposing Ds respect the deep route on the other side so that AJ isn't two deeped as much anymore.
I agree with this, the second biggest problem last year besides O-line on Offense was the lack of a deep threat
for much of the year. When Core got a shot, he opened up the Offense and made Defenses respect the deep
pass, he has a gear similar to Chris Henry but is much more physical.

He impressed me with his ability to get open deep and make the tough catch. A lot of times guys get here that are fast that get open...but can't catch the ball.
Core's hands and route running impressed me. These were his two weaknesses in college that he did not show
here. I honestly did not see a weakness from him last year. He should of played much more. I have faith in Urban
coaching this guy into something special.
I like Boyd and Lafell a lot but they are not burners. Need to use Core lots this year if we don't draft a speedster
early. Defenses have to respect the deep ball or predictability becomes a big damn issue.
