How our call moved in week 9

  • our call, P(plays)

93% EXPECTED → 98% EXPECTED

Every call we wrote for him in week 9, earliest first, as written.

In short

Nick Emmanwori is a starter at nickelback for SEA — 100% of the snaps in his best week of 8. He has a shoulder injury. His team named him inactive in week 1. His team has not listed him on the final report. We say he plays — 98%, in a band that plays 94% of the time. We have said PLAY since 61 hours before kickoff.

The reader concurs · grade B

Passages describing this week's practice place him as a full participant after a limited Wednesday [P2][P4], and a Cardinals report also lists him as Full on the shoulder [P6]. Nothing in the passages gives a Sunday game status, and his sit last week is history that does not by itself override a full practice week.

The rest of the reading

The call to PLAY stands, but the missing Sunday designation and the unconfirmed Friday/Saturday club reports keep this at grade B.

10 calls in week 9, 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.

What would change this read

What would change this read
The official Sunday 08 Nov game-status designation for Emmanwori (shoulder)
The club's Friday 06 Nov and Saturday 07 Nov practice reports, to confirm the card's FP final, since the practice window says no club report is held
The club's stated reason he sat in last week's game, and whether any restriction carried into this game
Whether the hip designation named in the lookback is still active this week

Named inactive in week 1

The team's own list. We held it after kickoff, so it could NOT have informed a call. Matched to him by his player id.
