A feature back. Cohen is a star, but he is not a bell cow back.
Howard is nothing special. This is not an overreaction to this game and his fumble, that is just the simple fact of the matter. He lacks explosive play making ability. He can’t make people miss. His strength comes with running through the first tackler and hopefully staying on his feet.
At best Howard is a guy that breaks one off for a 15-20 yard run. The issue here is that there is little reason to feed him the ball. The bears have play makers in Allen Robinson, Tarik Cohen, Taylor Gabriel, and ant Miller.
The bears need to find a way to get a real run game going, and they need to stop relying so heavily on the gimmicky end around with Gabriel or the triple option shovel pass to burton.
The bears need to find a way to establish some type of run game. They need to find a way to get Howard going, or he needs to be replaced by a true #1 RB.
