Nice 4.6 40 Derek Pegues.....

[bonedaddy401]

Maybe if you actually gave a **** during your college career you wouldn't have cost yourself so much money flopping at the combine.

Andy Reid was laughing at his time and he ran so crooked a line that Deon Sanders said that some one should tell him that this is a 40 yard dash not a 43 yard dash.

Might not have been knee..maybe ankle
I just remember him roughing it up in the egg bowl.

He's 0.2 slower than Pat White for crying out loud. I watched WR the other day and saw WR after WR run 4.5 and 4.6. Of course there was the occasional 4.3 and 4.4.

Is 4.6 slow for an NFL safety? I can think of a lot of great safeties that were not known for speed - like Darren Woodson and Roy Williams.

 

[lawdawg02]

but it looked like he was listed as a corner on the combine website.

as far as safeties, only 2 have run sub-4.5 40s. eta: only 2 corners have run sub-4.5 also. </p>

 

[bonedaddy401]

and yes that is bad. He will be somewhere between the 25th or 35th fastest safeties. Not to mention he was one of the lighter safeties to run. Sanford from Ole Miss was 214 (15 pounds heavier that DP) and ran a smooth 4.5.

Edited to add: Rashad Johnson from Alabama was 5 pounds heavier and ran a 4.5, Chris Clemons 9 pounds heavier ran a 4.41 and David Bruton who is 20 pound heavier ran a 4.46.

Hey but how many of them have the street cred of jumping a cop? that should help his cause even better than his slow 40 time. ha

 

[hotdigitydog]

He's absolutely great at running into a pile and jumping on top of it.............Can't believe he couldn't run a straight line. He did it on every kickoff for the last 4 years..........

 

[GroveHard]

makes him a must have for the Bengals.

safeties so often have to run in a strait line for 40 meters in an all out sprint. Give me a break. The combine is a track meet, and a publicity stunt, not a way to measure football players.

 

[bonedaddy401]

Is that why all of these guys risk injury (which happened to a lot of guys this year) year in and year out? Why is it that everybody from scouts and position coaches up to head coaches and owners show up for this? For the publicity? Or could it be because they are about to make a multi-million dollar and possibly franchise changing investment and want to know every detail about that investment?

First off Jerry Rice "only" ran a 4.6 but I didnt see many players catch him from behind either. Furthermore, really what did Derek Pegues do to you?? I know it was a fluke and all but he gave me more than a few wonderful memories from 2007. Seriously, not to sound all gene's pageish or anything but bad mouthing one of our more popular (for whatever reason) players just wreaks of being a complete and utter douche.

 

[bonedaddy401]

The guy ran a 4.6 and looked bad doing it. He was obviously unprepared and ran much slower than many people thought he would. In the NFL you can't just rely on your athletic ability. You have to commit to it like a job and maximize your body's potential. Derek Pegues could be a 4.4 guy and he isn't. You do the math.</p>

 

[Dawgfan61]

I said Jerry Rice also ran a 4.6 40. Simply put arguably the best football player ever ran a "bad" 40. Running a good 40 means you are fast in shorts and a shirt. It doesnt mean a damn thing else...

The point is you are revelling in the fact that a former and popular player ran a bad 40 and cost himself some bucks. I dont get why unless he impregnated your mom or something, anything short of that still makes you a douche or a hater in the best case scenario...

What do our fans (like bonedaddy douche) seem to think they have to gain by talking bad about a player that had some pretty good success while he was here.

Talk bad about Croom all you want he %%!%+! up for four out of five years and was completely unprepared against our biggest rival. He squandered what talent we did have or ran it off in his first two years.

Again not to sound to genes pageish but to not only criticize rather just be downright mean to a former player because he ran a 40 the same speed as Jerry Rice is a bit much.

Edited for 1b. I don't have 4000 posts forgive me for breaking a rule...

Why bash Pegues? He played his 4 years. Was he great? No Was he terrible? No
Pegues was a good college player. That's it! I doubt he'll make the NFL. All in all he is a good kid. I don't see the need for you guys to bash him.

He beat up an off duty cop and apparently decided he didn't have to go to ANY classes over the summer.

I knew there was a reason for message boards after all.

Some players run slower in pads.

If you remember, DP's punt return ('07 Egg Bowl) was pretty much a straight line return, so why he didn't run in a straight line (in Indy) is confusing. His knee/leg injury may have something to do with it. I don't know.

While I like Pegues, he never managed to live up to all of the hype, which is not necessarily his fault.

I hope he's able to make a practice squad and somewhere and work his way up from there. Maybe he can make it as a special teams player. If not, there's the Arena league... small field, less area to cover.

40 meter dash??

But seriously, DP looks like he added weight - maybe that slowed him down. Saw a pic of him catching a pass and his arms look massive. His face looks fat on his profile page and he's listed at 199 lbs (I always thought he stayed around 190).

 

[Dawgfan61]

be "mean" to whoever you want. However, if you are a fan of MSU, what is the point in ridiculing a guy who was a pretty good player for us. Yes he beat up an undercover cop so he's certainly not an angel, but I wasn't there and don't know whether the cop identified himself or what. I am pretty sure that Derek Pegues wasn't the only guy at Mississippi State to get into a barfight in his four years here.

Hell, Mike Brown, probably did more damage to our team last year than any other single individual, make fun of his thug ***. Far as I can tell Pegues fought through a lot of injury and appeared to give it his all while he was here. Its not his fault the walrus wasn't bright enough to use him on offense. Honestly, I can't think of what else you would want him to do...

FYI its still a fact Jerry Rice ran a 4.6 40 and was never the fastest man in the NFL by a long shot. He was a pretty good ball player. Will Derek Pegues turn into Jerry Rice? I highly doubt it. Will he make an NFL roster? I highly doubt it. However, if Lance Long can make a roster then anythings possible...

 

[patdog]

Yes he beat up an undercover cop so he's certainly not an angel, but I wasn't there and don't know whether the cop identified himself or what.

Is the fact that the guy was an off-duty cop, not an undercover cop (it would kind of defeat the purpose if an undercover cop identified himself), really the most important thing about this story?
