Do you think Cohen can be effective when he returns or will he just keep running east-west?

This is something I have literally been asking myselve for the passed few evenings ever sense I found out that the offence might look like something from Shanahan and also something from Green Bay which made me think how does Cohen fit into all that if he literally runs laterally most the time and doesn't turn and go north south or even northwest or northeast so let's see what the playbook beholds for him before we just go ahead and cut him and by we I mean the bears not you and I just a figure of speaking.

it's like you're my brother from another mother. It is bananas how players like cohen and e. jacks can fly into the sun and never be as good as we thought they were going to be

In the age of players coming back so quickly after rupturing stuff and tearing things, my guess is No.

I am probably too young to be your brother unless your other mother and dad is having kids like 20 or more years apart but I agree perfectly with you that he is like a Icarus and his legs are now too melted to be as good as he ever was and never will be.

I saw a video of him (Thanksgiving time, maybe?). He had some kind of a limp or something. His injury obviously took a lot longer than expected to recover from.

Will we see the true Tarik Cohen back? Doubtful. He can be fast, maybe, but the moves he made, ala the human joystick, I think that is probably gone. He will never be the same.

My Dad was still shellacking with Jesus Juice well into his 70s until he got his prostate removed. You never know... bro ;)

Anyway, I can't help but identify a parallel between the sunward trajectories of Nagy and Cohen. Once Cohen was out, no more Willy Wonkas or Flibbertygibbit gadgets plays (other than the shovel passes).

Makes you wonder!

Like Joe Burrow?

HOW YOU LIKE THEM APPLES

Yes. Exactly like Burrow. I wish Tarik came back like Burrow. But my point is that he didnt... Shouldn't he of been back this year?

I thought about that after I responded to you. But I wonder if there is something more to his being put on ice for like 2 years!

Like maybe he was in Nagy's doghouse but instead of ghosting him like Nagy did Trubisky and Allen Robinson, he just told Tarik he wasn't healthy?

Also I speculate that maybe he said "fuck it for 2021" with everything that happened with his brother. That was a brutal story and ending.

I'd say his chances of coming back are slim.
