How many routes do they have to run a game? It is a 60 minute game. Half of which the offense isn't even on the field. Oh and it is possible to sub out if you get tired.
Taking plays off when you are one of the receivers supposed to be an option on the play is horrible advice from a coach like figure.
Ask Hue Jackson if he wants his receivers half assing routes when they see fit.
You are completely missing the point. he wasn't telling them to be lazy or half-assed. he was telling them to win with their brains instead of burning themselves up by trying to win a one-on-one every play.
When Michael Jordan and LeBron James were young they just jumped over and ran through everyone using there superior athletic ability. As they got older and wiser they were able to produce just as many points by playing smarter instead of just relying on pure physical ability. The same thing happens with great pitchers in baseball. At some point in their career they have to learn to use their heads and "pitch" instead of just trying to throw every pitch 100 MPH.
