This.
There is no offense in the league that just lines up and overpowers defenses. Offensive coordinators will use every trick in the book to just create a small crease to run through or a small gap in coverage. It only takes one defensive player to line up slightly out of position or not adjust properly to a shift or motion to create these seams or gaps. You can have a lot of talented players on a defense, but if they are out of position they are useless.
