Green
Ross
LaFell
Boyd
Malone
Erickson

The only chance for Core to make it is (a) if the Bengals decide to roll with 7 receivers...which I see as unlikely, or (b) if Core beats out Erickson, but I also see this as unlikely considering Erickson just lead the NFL in kick return yards and was 2nd in yards per return. Add in the fact that Malone is essentially a a better version of Core, and I just see Core as the odd man out if we roll with 6 receivers.

I completely agree.

 We learned last year that Core is big fast and has decent hands, but when he got playing time at the end of the year he was lost. He ran wrong routes, got in the way of the correct plays, ran incorrect depths in his routes... after most of the season practicing sitting in the meetings I was slightly dissapointed with his progress in the playbook. Core definitely would make the practice squad without much fear.
