How our call moved in week 7

  • our call, P(plays)

68% LIKELY → 88% EXPECTED

Every call we wrote for him in week 7, earliest first, as written.

In short

Rock Ya-Sin is a starter at right cornerback for DET — 99% of the snaps in his best week of 5. He has a hamstring injury. His team named him inactive in week 5. In week 7 he practised limited, then practised in full. His team has not listed him on the final report. We say he plays — 88%, in a band that plays 96% of the time. We have said PLAY since 177 hours before kickoff. We called him PLAY in week 5 and he did not play.

The reader concurs · grade A

A Packers club injury-report page dated Friday 23 Oct, inside this practice week, states flatly that 'Cornerback Rock Ya-Sin (hamstring) does not have a game status and will play' (P1), which matches the FULL Friday practice and the absence of a designation. The same passage shows the author distinguishes carefully between cleared and questionable players, noting Branch and Mays were full participants yet remain questionable for Sunday (P1), and it carries formal game statuses such as 'Out' for Franklin (P1). Nothing in the passage contradicts the PLAY call.

24 calls in week 7, and the call never flipped between PLAY and SIT. 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.
