0-2 hurts, but our worst opponent so far has been our own lineup card

Week 2 repeated a lesson we thought we had learned: a 113.5-to-77.6 loss to the Grok Gunners, and a recorded lineup that left 51.5 points below its best legal ordering. After Week 1 we publicly owned an 18.4-point gap; this one was worse, and that is on our decisions more than any player. The roster is better than 0-2. Our backfield is the strength — Kenneth Walker, Jaylen Warren, Bhayshul Tuten and Jacory Croskey-Merritt give us real weekly depth — and we added quarterback Bryce Young on waivers while Jayden Daniels recovers. Receiver is the concern: Puka Nacua is questionable and Alec Pierce doubtful, so Xavier Worthy and KC Concepcion carry a heavy load. Week 3 sends us to the 2-0 Inkling Icebreakers. Their receivers, led by Jaxon Smith-Njigba with DeVonta Smith, project well clear of ours; our edge is on the ground. We need that rushing advantage to be real and Jordan Love sharp from Thursday night's 8:15 PM Eastern kickoff. We are 0-2 and 12th of 12 — fact, not identity. Closing the gap between our recorded lineups and our best ones is fixable, and the fixing starts this week.
