Za'Darius Smith

This man

In short

Za'Darius Smith is in the rotation at weak-side linebacker for ATL — 50% of the snaps in his best week of 3. He has a not injury related - resting player injury. His team has not listed him on the final report. We say he plays — 99%, in a band that plays 96% of the time. We have said SIT since 78 hours before kickoff, and we changed our mind on the way.

14 calls this week, changing 1 time. Each lead time is the one that call actually had when it was written — never recounted from now. A call that changes is the record working: new evidence arrived and we said so, in public, before the game.

No dated practice report for him this week

The team has not published one we can date, or the window has not reached it. Not the same as his having practised.
