There is always a balance to be struck between simplification and innovation, and it (IMO) usually lies closer to the innovation side of the spectrum.

Obviously, it doesn't take a whole bunch of reps in practice to get a play down, and teams have plenty of time to go over the plays in the gameplan that week in practice. Ultimately, though, it's on the players to be able to handle what the coach wants to do if he needs to alter the gameplan.

There aren't a whole lot of complicated schemes in the offense, I don't think. Being uncomfortable is one thing, but not being able to handle the workload is another entirely. I would hope the players issues are with the former (meaning time will improve them), as opposed to the latter (meaning we need new players).
