Matt Nagy: Bears probably gave Tarik Cohen ‘too much’ last year

In retrospect, the Bears moved running back Tarik Cohen around to different spots too much toward the end of last year, Nagy said.

“We moved [him] 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. “And when you mentally drain them it pulls them back physically.”

Cohen — who lines up wide and in the slot — is what the Bears call an “adjustor.” So is new receiver Cordarrelle Patterson and the team’s “U” tight ends: Trey Burton, Ben Braunecker and other pass catchers.
