I'm curious if that is accurate? and if so, could that be a portion of why they have had so much trouble last year and supposedly in the practice?

Good coaches know how to fit plays to their players. If guys aren't figuring out the scheme, you have two choices: dumb down the scheme or put in different players.

I don't see it as anything overly complex, put a hat on a hat, pull to the right, standard stuff most any lineman has been doing since middle school. If players were saying anything about complexity I might think that theory held some water, but teams have been running ZBS for quite some time. 

I think the bigger problem is whether the scheme requires technicians who are light in the pants over grunts who may not win with finesse but are gonna punch you in the mouth every snap. I want a line full of slobberknockers. They'll get it done when it matters.
