Change in coaching staff means: A new offensive playbook could mean bigger and better things for Howard, who was pretty good running the outside zone for former offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains but might be even better for Nagy with a greater emphasis on inside zone runs. Sure, the Bears will still run outside zone or stretch plays, but the inside zone runs are more downhill and that could suit Howard’s skill set better. It’s easier to pair inside zone runs with run/pass options (RPOs) than outside zone runs because the ball comes out quicker. Inside zone and inside power match up well with RPOs, especially in the quick game when the quarterback is making a read and delivering the ball. It meshes well with play action and then the Bears will be able to make their play-action game and RPOs look similar and it should all have the same effect on opposing linebackers. You want the back to get downfield quickly on inside zone runs, and that really might suit Howard better. The back needs to get his shoulder square, get downhill and gain yards after contact, and that’s what Howard does well as a powerful runner. I’d expect the Bears to consider using Cohen in the slot more or flexed out more as a receiver (they did quite a bit of this with Loggains), but I would resist the urge to compare him to the Chiefs’ Tyreek Hill, a pure wide receiver with much greater natural speed. The focus should be on finding ways to make Cohen more consistent and more effective in space. The Chiefs have employed a fullback, which could bode well for Burton. In fact, Chiefs fullback Anthony Sherman had 180 snaps last season — nearly identical to Burton’s workload.
