This.

The no effort thing can only be said about a few players, and usually it's divas who get by on athletic talent.

You think the no-names on the Cowboys d are out there not giving a shit? They're not just playing for now, they're playing for their futures in the league. They don't have a plan B that's going to pay them hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars to play a game they've been playing since childhood.

If some scrub on the Cowboys d just decided to quit playing hard, not only would they be benched now but they'd be forfeiting their future in the league. Coaches can spot a guy who isn't putting in the work from a mile away and they never have a long career in the league.
