No one in NFL history has ever done less with more.
When Bears running back Tarik Cohen caught 79 passes for a mere 5.77 yards per reception last year, he set an all-time record for futility among high-volume receivers. The only man to average fewer yards and catch more than 70 balls, former Saints running back Reggie Bush, had 73 receptions in 2007.
No one, then, has ever caught so many passes and gained so few yards.
The Bears are spending their offseason trying to restore to the Tarik mystique of the previous two seasons. The answer — in descending order of simplicity — lies in a combination of performance, preparation and play-calling.
