Who’s your X factor on both sides of the ball? Players who aren’t necessarily penciled in as key difference makers, but could have a huge impact if the stars aligned.
Offense: Tarik Cohen. I don’t see him getting talked about much, and I understand why, but we can’t erase 2018 when he totaled over 1k all purpose yards and 8 TDs (with one additional passing TD). While I’m not overly optimistic, I’m definitely not down on cohen’s ability to produce. His biggest hurdle is David Montgomery deserves a lot of touches and is also a receiving threat.
I was tempted to place Cole Kmet here, but I think he’s been talked about a lot and is kind of expected to become more of a focal point than Cohen is…at least in terms of off-season CCS chatter.
Defense: This was a lot more difficult but I’m going to say Attachou. He played well and finished with 5 sacks in a Vic Fangio defense without the help of Von Miller and Chubb missing two games. Desai is a Fangio disciple and Attachou doesn’t even need to be great, he just needs to take advantage on obvious passing downs when Mack is getting doubled. Shot out to Christian Jones as well as an interesting X factor.
Bonus round, I’ll go coaching…
Flip: I think Flip is going to be largely responsible for developing Fields. He’s a better teacher and more focused on the details of the QB position than Nagy. Probably a top 5 QB coach in the league. Fields is the most important player on the team, so the man most equipped to develop him gets the nod here over Desai, who is a very close second.
Who you guys got?
