Squintz82 45 Posted October 3, 2017 I've seen a ton of posts discussing Cohen's value with Trubisky under center. However, I haven't seen anyone discussing his usage last week with Cunningham coming back from injury. John Fox seemed to reduce Cohen's snaps to get Cunningham involved on passing downs, which seemed a bit concerning. Does anyone think this is a trend going forward? Cohen was clearly the better player on the field, and has had good value splitting with Howard. But adding a 3rd RB into that backfield seems like a mess.

Challenger 72 Posted October 3, 2017 Good point, something I didn't notice. That's 3 to 5 touches loss for Tarik. If anything more than breather, then it is a concern. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SaintsInDome2006 128 Posted October 3, 2017 I think Cunningham getting in the game had a fair amount to do with it being a lost cause. I wouldn't read too much into it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dennis29 6 Posted October 4, 2017 The Bears don't seem to have a clue as to how to best utilize Cohen's talents. If he continues to see under 20 snaps a game and Cunningham sees most of the 3rd down work, you're completely relying on him busting loose for a 50 yd TD. No thanks.

Challenger 72 Posted October 4, 2017 They switched out Glennon. Let's hope that's the first step for them to properly use their talents. I am slotting in Cohen just to keep myself entertain for Monday night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SexyRexy 60 Posted October 4, 2017 I think there is an impact. It's going to take away some touches. Not a ton but some. Either way last night I traded Tarik for Cobb and J Stew. I like Cohen but think his upside is a bit limited. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like Cohen but think his upside is a bit limited. As someone stated above, it had to do with the game being over, and they were just getting Benny some reps. It's still Howard and Cohen.

brotherbock 349 Posted October 4, 2017 The game was not over when Cunningham was rotating in. Some might say for the Bears that 'the beginning of the end' of a game is sometimes shortly after the coin toss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Challenger 72 Posted October 4, 2017 Benny played same amount of snaps as Cohen last game. That's definitely a concern. But this week, there is a total reboot of offense with the new QB. This week will determine how Cohen will be used going forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
