Tarik Cohen as an option and his story (1 Viewer)

[NatureBoy]

Tarik says he has his speed, twitch and ability to cut on a dime back.

His story is unbelievable.

Letter to My Younger Self | By Tarik Cohen

It’s almost like, for you, nothing can just be easy and work out and make everyone happy.

Really good read.... thx

 

[limeyjohn]

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this, a very powerful and moving read

I've been following Tarik since college and dang this was a hard read. The editor's note made it harder.
Prayers out to him that him and his family can find peace during this time. Hard few years for them.

Read that yesterday. Heavy stuff, I really feel for him. I always liked him and hope he gets his career and his life back on track.

 

[rockthedox]

Wow... And just when you think it's done you read the editors note at the end. Heartbreaking.

I've always like the dude. Would love to see him as a Saint.

 

[Fiyo]

It IS a hard read ... at times hard to follow ... but especially hard to take the whole way through ... you can feel the emotion burning through the words ... I WILL be pulling for his guy and hope and pray he'll stay in the lives of his young nieces. All three of them are going to need it. ... Wow is the ultimate description of this. ... just ... WOW ...

Jesus...that was some heartbreaking sheet to read...can't imagine how gut wrenching it was to live through it.

I don't know if he'd come here after what Gardner and Lattimore put him through.

 

[Optimistic Ozzy]

We need to sign him immediately.

We need to sign him immediately.

Yeah, it’s why I’d make a terrible GM. Emotionally you want to see him succeed and want to see him have the chance to do so. That said, New Orleans is a town that will wrap her arms around you, so this might be a good spot for him to be while trying to transition back. The power of our resolve and will is well documented.

We as fans also had concerns about Jameis given the history with he and Latt. Turned out it was much ado about nothing.

Getting Tarik to NO might be a good thing for him. The team culture and the fan culture here make for a great support system.

Yeah, I'll be rooting for this guy big time now. That was tough. You think these athletes have it made because they have money. They are just people too. People with families. People with stories. Sometimes we lose track of that. This was a stark reminder.

Yep. And as I’ve grown older I’ve learned that money can’t always fix your problems. Like Tarik said, sending more money wouldn’t have fixed anything. Sometimes, throwing money at a problem only makes it worse.

Does Chicago use a similar offensive scheme as the Saints? If so… could help.

Tough spot for that young person. NFL wise Tarik Cohen can win on a lot of Kamara’s designed plays. Ty Montgomery’s role is available.

Would RB Cohen work outside on special teams?

I’m rooting for him.
