Clarett Not Giving 100%
This is a blurb from Denver training camp notes. The only thing I like less than a guy not hustling is a coach making exscuses for him. I hope for the best but am prepared for the worst with Clarett.
Mo needs more

Everybody knows it has been more than two years since running back Maurice Clarett played in a game. What has become evident early in camp is it also has been a long time since Clarett remembered how to practice.

One reason Clarett is No. 5 on the tailback depth chart may be because the other four bring considerably more energy to the workouts. On every drill, the Broncos have their running backs get up after the play and continue running toward the end zone.

Mike Anderson, the veteran who is No. 1 on the depth chart, always finishes off his runs near top speed. Clarett ends his plays at a noticeably slower pace.

"The speed is so different at the pro level compared to what he's used to," coach Mike Shanahan said. "It takes some time."

I agree completely. The other thing, maybe even more of a factor, is that he just signed a pay-for-performance contract. It's not like he can pull a Ryan Leaf and steal a huge sign on bonus and never try to play another down.

Maybe he's working up to game speed, maybe he saves it for game day, I don't know. I ust found it interesting that, as you point out, the one guy you would think would be busting his ass is doing the opposite.
We'll see, time will tell. I'm not giving up on the guy but he is definetely in the show-me-what-you-got category.

Frankly, I don't see him beating out Bell anyway, but then again I'm not a Broncos expert. I thought Bell was pretty impressive the couple of times I saw him last season.

Maybe he's slow.

I actually want him to make the team so DJ can introduce him to the league... and the turf... in style. Then they can wheel him away for good.

Right now Bell is so far out of Clarett's league it's not worth comparing the two. To give you some perspective, Clarett is 5th on the depth chart.
Ron Dayne is fourth.

I'd be more interested in seeing DJ take Mike Anderson on at full speed. You'll find out erly on whether DJ can take on blocks and make head to head tackles. Outside of KC the jury is still out on that one.

And he gave up his salary too, didn't he?

Well, no worries; after he washes out I'm sure Lebron has a spot open in his 'posse' for Maurice, you know - since they're boys and all since they were shorties

He was a R3 pick... (drafted higher than he should have been), but he signed a crazy contract on his part.

If he's not busting his ass to make his money... then he'll lose out. Denver is not banking on him being a badass in order to win. They have many other options as has already been stated.

I'm not shocked at the news, but I am a little surprised... As long as Bell and Anderson are healthy and doing well, I don't care about options 3-5 on the depth chart.

I'm not concerned about DJ at all... but I know he has to prove it before everyone will give him credit.

Clarett will be cut. My take unless he runs for 100yds/game in preseason.

Further Proof that he was an absolute FOOL to sign an insentive laden contract...he should have taken all of the signing bonus he could get, with a pittance yearly, so he'd have something to work on while he's home playing video games, avoiding his job at Shoneys Big Boy.
