ThatDude Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Looks like it's time to drop Cohen. not getting enough plays lately to warrant a roster spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XFlash Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 it is a bad match up for him and with the QB change too. I think he will be better as long as they do not make him run in between the tackles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XFlash Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 RB situation will continue to change as they find out that Trubisky can offer more in the passing game. I'm hoping that Cunningham was a fluke, but if they decide to do 3 RB rotation, then I will drop Cohen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1fastdoc Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I'm hanging on for one more week. He's got the talent if they can capitalize on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripleshot Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Not sure you can ever drop a healthy backup RB, especially one getting targets in the passing game, with all the RB attrition as the season progresses. Sure he's been getting less snaps the last two weeks but I'd make sure it was a trend and not a 2 week aberration before cutting him.

michaelredd9 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Running backs who rely on reception points are always going to be inconsistent. Cohen's usage will depend on strengths or weaknesses of a defense and how the game is going. In games where the Bears are trailing, his use will be higher. There was no way he was going to be a workhorse with his small size. On the other hand, he is far too electric for him to be ignored. So he wasn't as good as people thought after the first two weeks and he isn't as bad as people are thinking now. I do think that Trubisky's mobility will hurt Cohen's value a bit since he won't need to make as many dump off passes as Glennon. Also, the Bears are going to want their running back to pass protect in order to protect Trubisky's health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 John Fox has never historically gave rookies significant playing time, even when it was clear that the veteran wasn't a better option. This situation is different obviously with the WR situation being a dumpster fire. It was asking a lot to expect Cohen to get 100+ targets as a rookie RB, but I'm not sure I'd just cut him outright yet. Wait for the Trubisky dust to settle over the next couple of weeks. And keep an eye on snap counts, obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nostack Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Hasnt he had two touchdowns called back on the last two weeks due to penalty? Questionable penalties at that? Boom/bust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bears were trailing, his usage did not go to up. They were trailing against GB, his usage did not go up. His usage is going to be his usage, regardless of game conditions. His touches haven't been dump offs but designed plays to get him the ball. At this stage, the kid is bye week filler like Riddick is. Pretty much like Thompson is...although the latter has blown up to make him seem like a starter. He shouldn't be dropped in a 12+ team league, but not started either. Howard still has this shoulder thing nagging him if people haven't noticed and that does not appear to be going away so there's that to consider as well.

He was only targeted twice in the pass game before the 4th quarter and both came at the very end of the 2nd quarter when the Bears were in a hurry up offense. So 9 out of Cohen's 12 plays against the Packers came in the 4th quarter or in hurry up offense.
