Pixote Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 I found this article on Tarik Cohen that I really enjoyed. Where Did Human Joystick and Bears Difference-Maker Tarik Cohen Come From? You may want to check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connorbear Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Great read. He is a fun player to watch. Let's hope they find more ways to get him the ball. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFan2000 Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 he is fun to watch. Reminds me of a shorter Hester with better hands. If we can figure out how to utilize him to maximize his talent ala Sproles he could be a game changer for us. I cringe when we try to use him as a between the tackles RB cause that is not his game. Get him in space at the second level and he's dangerous. We need to use play design to get him free. He's still learning that not every play needs to be a home run. If it's not there take what the D gives you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he'll follow his zone read blockers to the outside he'll find more success running the ball but he can't be a one-trick player like Hester was as a receiver.

Totally agree. I’ve gotten frustrated with his zig- zag running where he makes little or no forward progress. Stick with the play call and quit improvising.
