May as well play Cohen at receiver at this point.

With the signing of Damian Williams, what becomes of him now? Between Williams and Montgomery, I don't see any reason to ever give Tarik Cohen another snap from behind the QB considering both the aforementioned guys' abilities to catch the ball while also being a threat run it between the tackles. They extended him before last year though so it's likely that they still like what he brings to the team. Is this how the WR position gets addressed (kinda sorta)? Does Cohen get moved into more of a slot WR since Anthony Miller has largely failed there?
Dude, Cohen died.

I just hope Cohen drives a better car than the POS he was tooling around in last year.

I'm assuming Cohen will be used in the slot

Other than the bust of year 2019, Cohen has averaged 4.3, 4.5 and 5.3 yards per carry in his three other seasons with the Bears. I think with a more capable QB and Lazor calling plays he can be a productive change of pace back.

I can remember calling for him to be a slot WR as well. I think we all had 2019 stuck in our heads. But for the most part he has run well, and this is considering sub-par OL play and also with dickhead calling plays.

I forsee Cohen playing a hill role. Potentially 65 to 70 percent of his snaps might be at wide out or some sort of receiver position

I like Cohen. he's versatile, on paper. in Nagy execution, it gets a little weird.

I don't see Cohen as a real running threat. He rarely takes what's given to him up the middle in favor of trying to hit the sidelines and getting strung out or tackled for no gain. He's a threat in the passing game but not at the expense of telegraphing it by his sole presence in the backfield, especially not when Montgomery and Williams are both threats in the pass game as well.

Nagy isn't capable of utilizing weapons.

He always should have been used on the slot, or in ways similar to Tyreek Hill. No, he is obviously not on Hill’s level, but Cohen is the most dangerous when he has the ball in space. So what does Nagy do? Runs him between the tackles like crazy.

Cohen in the slot, Williams backing up Monty.

Every play we hand it to anyone other than Monty is a wasted opportunity

An ACL usually takes a full season back before the player returns to full potential, i.e AROB.

I fully expect Tarik will need 12 more months before he gets back this sideline to sideline speed.

I think Nyheim Hynes is the comparable
