I was actually just talking to someone the other day about how insanely hard it must be to manage the ratios and how surprised I am that it doesn't happen more often. Or maybe it happens all the time and we don't hear about it.

You have so many guys on the roster. A national gets hurt, out for 3 plays. He gets replaced by an international. Now for 3 plays a national has to sub in for a different international. But different schemes may have different players who have different status. So you may want to run a scheme for a throwing down but your ratios are all out of wack because some guy has to sit out three plays.
