For some reason having to play under Marvin Lewis and Zampese and Lazor was an absolute death sentence for all the players we like, but there are some players that are conclusively 100% crap and need to be cast off. Our old coaches sabotaged us and the new ones are awesome...could Core get better? Hell no, he's awful.
While I'd love for ZT to find a way to get Core to breakout, I think Core just doesn't really have anything that makes the fanbase look at him and feel hope that he can bring something to the table. Ross and Malone have speed, Tate has size, Erickson's got return ability, and Cody has... ???
I would expect Driskel to play better under ZT solely because I think an offensive minded coach would be more inclined to let Jeff use one of his biggest strengths (his legs) which they didn't seem willing to do last year. That's especially true if they go into the regular season with 3 QBs as he may feel more comfortable with putting Driskel at risk with his 4th round pick waiting in the wings.
