*Value Oriented Breakkdown on the CHI/PHL Trade

[iStegosauruz]

Appreciate the reply! So a few more thoughts on this:
1) The offset TPE amount on offense is exactly the amount which we just traded for - ~750 TPE
2) Leaf can't swap but running 2 RBs allows one to be designated as FB, which allows a RB to play at outside WR. Now, they can't be designated primary WR but they can still take snaps there and carry as a RB in some sets. So there is some plan to do that (not really a leak there)
3) Using week 1 playbooks will give a different result against different teams, as tempo changes week to week can drastically change your win % depending on the team you are facing (for example, going from Very Fast to Normal changed ours 5% week 2 or 3, whenever that change was made). This can have a cascading effect if you don't set up your tests to optimize vs. each team.

This is really good feedback though, and am loving the opportunity to cross-examine my processes and data. Keep it coming!

Yeah I get the acquisition TPE amount - makes sense. And I get the designation as FB playing outside WR. When I ran my Approximate Value study Irving was classified as a FB and got most of his usage through the air - good example of that occurring.

And without a doubt situations are going to change as you scheme differently - some things I can't account and for and inevitably end up in the margin for error of whatever analysis I do. Obviously using pieces acquired in a trade in the most optimal way possible will increase their effects - optimal having some variance every week as well depending on scheme, matchup, etc.

I'm going to revisit all of this when I have some time and run it with your position changes in mind and with optimization toward team sets, etc - inevitably we'll see the effects this has y'alls team later on anyway which will help me refine my takes on this stuff and ability to analyze them in the future. I'm starting with a very narrow base. Easier to refine methodology when I have a breadth for what actually works when put into practice.

To plug another article I just did on containing opposing quarterbacks it looks like y'alls defense has been the let down - hence why moving AE to CB and bumping up your TPE allotted there makes sense. So in a vacuum that'll help out a glaring problem.
