How our call moved in week 8

  • our call, P(plays)

71% LIKELY → 92% EXPECTED

Every call we wrote for him in week 8, earliest first, as written.

In short

Kei'Trel Clark is a starter at left cornerback for ARI — 98% of the snaps in his best week of 8. He has an illness injury. His team has not listed him on the final report. We say he plays — 92%, in a band that plays 94% of the time. We have said PLAY since 89 hours before kickoff.

The reader concurs · grade B

The sole club-sourced document in evidence is the 29 Oct practice report for this game week, which lists Clark with an illness but among those who 'were limited' — on the field, not held out — and attaches no Out or Doubtful to him (P1).

The reader's full reasoning

The rest of the reading

P1 explicitly separates that limited group from the players who did not participate, so nothing written here contradicts a PLAY call, and an illness with midweek participation is the ordinary profile of a player who clears by Sunday. Nothing in the passages speaks to Friday or Saturday or to a final designation, so the evidence supports the call without settling it.

15 calls in week 8, 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.
