Offensive lineman have to know a ton about the play being run, whether they should pull left or right, who he's responsible for blocking, if he should drive block the man up or chip and work to get in front of a linebacker, etc. Receivers have to be on the same page as the qb as to what is getting done and how they'll adjust based on coverage. Running backs usually don't have to do a lot of thinking, they're more reactive, initial responsibilities and steps set but changes quickly as the play develops. Thats not to say anything about the above except that FB is in many ways the most "team" of team sports with vastly different body types, roles and responsibilities at play. If you can't make an analogy related to business work within a gridiron (american) football context, you probably can't make it work :)
