a big part of route running is how you get to where you need to be at the right time too. if you tip your hand by running a sloppy route the db could jump the route and maybe even bait the qb into throwing a pick.
things like keeping your body square before making a cut are huge. david boston was an excellent route runner. he would stay square until the cut and could even kind of bluff the defensive back into thinking about another route by getting sloppy in the other direction before making his cut. just a simple thing as getting the db to twist for a half a second the wrong way is all that is needed to get open. good route running is what made a slow guy like steve largent a hall of famer (and politician).
