The plays aren't random combinations. There is a structure with the play call nomenclature. One part of the play call always indicates personnel, then the formation, the actually play, the motions, the snap, etc. They are then combined in different ways to form a "language" of sorts, that becomes interchangeable. Not very difficult if you speak/read/watch it every day.

But how are they able to adapt so quickly to another team when they are traded mid-season for example when the playbooks and the nomenclature are obviously different? I've seem guys play one week for another team and then for a different team the following week and they seem to do fine.
