Personally, I like Erikson much better and feel he should get the start. Core has not shown me anything worthy of a promotion. Erikson at least has some experience handling kickoffs. We'll see who emerges in the preseason games. I just hope Zack Taylor has an open mind.
For preseason game 1, there is a very good chance of this. Erickson isn't an outside WR, he is the slot guy (and I think he is very good there). Core has supposedly been getting a lot of reps and has been the one running sweeps in Ross's absence. I would think he will start at X, and Malone will start at AJ's spot for the first preseason game.
The guys I am really excited to see play are Damien Willis and Stanley Morgan, Jr. Apparently Willis has been lighting it up at camp and they really like Morgan, too...although I think Morgan is fighting an uphill battle as another slot WR and he would be behind Boyd and Erickson.
