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.
