Clarett Not Giving 100%

vailpass · 08-02-2005, 10:55 AM

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'm shocked

Normally I would be inclined to laugh, point fingers, and make Donkey jokes.

But in this case, I find it hard not to feel sorry for you. Clarett is a 1st-class asshole...just another spoiled athlete.

This is bad news. Clarett needs to make the team.

Then he can totally suck when it actually matters.

Lies! All lies! He's a quality draft pick! He will be the next Terrell Davis!!!

trndobrd · 08-02-2005, 11:01 AM

Maybe he is giving 100%.....but he's just slower than the rest

"To Clarett's credit, however, he successfully outran the Rascals and Powered Wheelchairs employed by the former Browns' defensive linemen"

You'd think with the contract he just signed, guy would be bustin a$$ to earn some PT. That's the only way he's gonna get paid.

**Rain Man** · 08-02-2005, 11:02 AM

All smack aside, what's up with that? With his history, you'd think that he'd be working harder than anybody.

I'm as hard-core a Bronco as you'll meet. This isn't an anti-Bronco post, it's just a point of pre-season interest. Once the season starts I care about Anderson and Bell. Anything Clarett contributes is gravy since he basically works for free.
