But I do agree it warrants debate. I like Tate, I hope he makes our team. I am not in love with Core, but I do understand we don't want our starters playing teams like high school teams, someone needs to do it. And they are very important, more so than some fans think until the opposing team returns a TD for a TD, then it hits them.

Obviously, we don't want to waste our best players on teams.  That said, there are bubble guys at every position that can play ST's.  We typically only dress 5 WR's on game day.  If we're going to dress Core for teams, a much better WR is going to sit.  I suppose it's possible some team could get a TD because Core isn't out there on teams and we lose because of it.  It's also possible a couple of WR's get dinged in a game and we lose because Core has to play meaningful snaps on offense and can't produce.

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.
