Another factor has been the ever evolving defensive interpretations of the rules making the defensive player's job's harder to master at the most basic level. Another factor has been the advance in offensive play design and calling. The concept of just doing what you do best right of the bat instead of trying to involve your whole playbook earlier on makes the job tougher on the defense.
