I am a student, never coached football. It seems to me like NFL coaches worry more about mismatches than they do about unique schemes. When star players go down, teams are hugely affected.
If you are an NFL coach, are you making it a point to limit your opponent's best player?
Split safeties to try and stop Peyton from throwing for 400?
Rolling down your 1/2 deep defender into the box vs Houston, with Foster in the backfield and taking your chances with Fitzpatrick?
Bracketing A.J Green and throwing away from Darrelle Revis?
Not bringing 5 from a 3-4 often because you have Von Miller as your walked up OLB and Demarcus Ware at DE? Doubling Marcell Dareus at the poa or running to the perimeter away from him/Kyle Williams?
There are some really brilliant x's and o's innovators out there, but Mike Leach looked his best when he had Michael Crabtree. The WCO looked it's best with Jerry Rice. The zone read looks really good with Pat White, and less so with Taylor Martinez.
Is it the concepts that opposing coaches have on tape that concern you the most, or is it the individual that nobody seems to be able to tackle?

None of us are NFL coaches here either (not that I know of..especially none of the regular posters) But to answer your questions..yes. It is ALL about players. X's and O's are not static, nor are they equal.

I have heard stories about guys like Sam Mills calling out the offense's plays correctly at the line, then calling the next ones correctly after the ensuing audible(s).
