Defensive players sometimes “miss” assignments because the scheme is too complex, creating momentary ambiguity and/or requiring instantaneous changes as a team shifts pre-snap. Guys can brain freeze for a split second and it’s an explosive play. Also too much “chaos” risk taking (in the name of sacks and tfls) can leave a defense vulnerable to explosive plays.
