If this roster were a car, you would leave it with the mechanic and take the bus — both units rate in the league's bottom eight. The face of it is Jordyn Brooks (LOLB, 88).

De'Von Achane (HB, 86) is the headliner. 96 speed — home-run speed that changes how a defense lines up; 96 acceleration — zero to full speed in a blink — the first three steps are already gone. On an offense this thin, he is less a luxury than a life raft — the one player the other sideline actually has to find.

As a unit this offense rates bottom-four in the league. The punter is its most reliable player, and everyone involved knows it. The ceiling has a name: Malik Willis (72). Defenses know it, the playbook knows it, and the punter — this offense's most frequent participant — knows it best of all. After him, the cliff is real — the next-best skill player is Caleb Douglas (73). Take the headliner away and this is a different, much quieter offense.

Jordyn Brooks (LOLB, 88) sets the terms. 96 pursuit — runs plays down from behind; 94 tackling — does not miss in the open field. On a defense this thin, he is less a centerpiece than a life raft — offenses go everywhere else first.

The front seven (78.6 average) clearly outclasses the back end (73.4) — the rush has to get home, because the coverage behind it is the exploitable part. Zoom out and it gets worse — a bottom-four defense by the ratings. This is the group other teams quietly request for homecoming.

Zane Gonzalez (74) kicks — 94 leg, 86 accuracy. Bradley Pinion (77) punts — 90 leg, 80 accuracy. The return game has a genuine weapon: Malik Washington (86 return, 90 speed).

Offense: Jaylen Wright (HB, 73 OVR). Read the ratings page twice: the overall says 73, the speed says 93. Overall is about the whole job; that speed is about one job, and he can already do that one as well as most starters.

Defense: the cupboard is genuinely bare — not a single 92+ trait among the non-starters.
