1. Establish a better running game

This may come as a huge surprise after Jordan Howard had nine rushing touchdowns and 935 rushing yards in 2018. Cohen even chipped in with 444, and Trubisky had 421. The Bears have multiple rushers who can take off with the rock at ant given moment. What Nagy needs to establish is more consistency from Howard if this team truly wants to be special.

Next: Best NFL player from each state

Cohen is a great story and he will always have a receiving role, whether it’s on this team or another. He is comparable to Darren Sproles, although unlike Sproles, Cohen likely won’t last very long with his size. Howard has proven he can be an every-down back. By establishing him as a player such as Melvin Gordon, the Bears could better utilize Cohen. Plus, you don’t really want your franchise quarterback to be running the ball every drive and possibly getting injured.
