core:  a central and often foundational part usually distinct from the enveloping part by a difference in nature <the core of the city>: as

a :  the usually inedible central part of some fruits (as a pineapple); especially :  the papery or leathery carpels composing the ripened ovary in a pome fruit (as an apple)

b :  the portion of a foundry mold that shapes the interior of a hollow casting

 

corps:  a group of persons associated together or acting under common direction; especially :  a body of persons having a common activity or occupation <the press corps>

 

It's a corps (pronounced core) of wide receivers, not a core of wide receivers.

can't stand either version of the word. hurney used it to justify his ridiculous decisions to keep a losing team intact and everyone's been using and abusing it ever since.

gettlemen could give a monkey's left nut about a corp or core.

it's produce or get gone.

A group of WRs could be called a core, like in the case of the Bears, the core of their offense is their WRs, Marshall and Jeffery.

Yes, in which case it's "the core of the offense."

 

They, in and of themselves are not "a core."

 

Being the core of the offense is an adjective, a descriptor. A corps is a noun.

    • frank, that ball was very catchable where it hit his hands. I don't even think he bent at waist until after he dropped it. He actually slows his pace to position himself to catch the ball. That will never be a pass I'd blame on the QB.   NFL+ _ Live Games on mobile, NFL RedZone, NFL Network and More! - Google Chrome 2026-01-15 13-54-54.mp4
    • https://overthecap.com/position/left-guard   Lewis is the 9th highest paid Left Guard in the league. I bet it was higher when the deal was done two years ago.    https://overthecap.com/position/right-guard Hunt #3 highest Right Guard   There is a tab in the upper left portion of the graphic that allows looking at the different positions.   
    • It was a great play, but a better catch than throw. The TE boxes out Moehrig for position. Jumps to catch the ball. Catches it and turns 180 degrees while he's still in the air. Comes down and toe taps to stay in bounds and lunges for the goal post. That first part where he boxes out Moehrig for the ball is huge. If he doesn't do that and simply fades back to catch the ball (this is why Bryce doesn't trust XL), then Moehrig likely undercuts the pass for a break up or INT. Stafford trusts his receivers to make plays for him. Here I slowed it down so you can see it. Great play but amazing catch and score by the TE.  NFL+ _ Live Games on mobile, NFL RedZone, NFL Network and More! - Google Chrome 2026-01-15 13-45-32.mp4 NFL+ _ Live Games on mobile, NFL RedZone, NFL Network and More! - Google Chrome 2026-01-15 13-44-37.mp4
