Tarik Cohen To Be Used Less In 2019?
5 years agoChicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy regrets using running back Tarik Cohen so much down the stretch last season. The running back was used in the backfield, as an outside receiver and inside in the slot. ‘‘We moved [Cohen] around a lot last year, and I do feel like there was a time — probably later in the season — where we probably gave him a little bit too much,’’ Nagy said before practice Tuesday. ‘‘And when you mentally drain them, it pulls them back physically.’’ It's not to say that Cohen won't get his opportunities this year, but Chicago may elect to keep him fresh, especially with tons of other weapons in rookie David Montgomery, Mike Davis, Cordarrelle Patterson, Allen Robinson, Trey Burton and Taylor Gabriel. Cohen is a home run hitter on any given play, but be careful not to overvalue him in an offense that has a ton of moving parts.
