Peter Nguyen

I was mostly replying to AZGrizFan. Pete must be doing something good for Pete Carroll to give him a mention. Could be another Donny Lisowski-esque type shot to make the team.

Not even that good of a shot

For some reason I can't remember the name Danny Woodhead. I remember Chadron State Running onto the field, and then it just kind of goes dark. I do remember drinking very heavily for rest of that year.

I know that feeling, people keep telling me the Griz had a 2012 season... but I just can't seem to recall that, just A LOT of beer and whiskey...

The best thing was the week leading up to that game.

After beating Colorado and Cat fans going full retard, it was incredible to see the rug pulled out from under them so quickly. :lol:

But yeah, same thing for us last year. I was certainly drinking the koolaid after the ASU and Liberty games. :lol:

Yeah, I was pretty much responding to the folks who thought I was directly comparing PN and DW, and just wanted to clarify. Like I said, stats comparison was good stuff. I give Carrol credit for taking long shots like that, that's cool.

So... interesting to discuss that. No Pete isn't Woodhead, that's for sure, but in some cases he came darn close, and in others he did better than Woodhead.

Bench press: 16 reps (20 for Woodhead)
40 yard: 4.5 (4.33 for Woodhead)
Vertical: 36 (38 for Woodhead)
20-yd Shuttle: 4.06 (4.2 for Woodhead)
3 cone drill: 6.85 (7.03 for Woodhead)

So, kind of interesting when you look at some numbers... Peter is quicker/more agile than Woodhead, not as strong, but fairly close, and slower in the 40 yard dash. No big shock there. If you look at Pete's 10 yard and 20 yard times they're awfully similar to Woodhead's. So Pete's big issue physically compared to Woodhead... he can't hold that top speed - something we've known since he suited up for the Griz.

How many RB's between 16 & 20 bench presses?
How many between 4.33 & 4.5?
How many between 38 & 36 inches vertical?

Peter has already played more pro ball than 99.9% of posters on e-Griz....people feel free to keep criticizing.

I would not consider Danny Woodhead to be a small back. He might be short, but at 200 lbs or maybe a bit better, he would certainly be a load. Looking at pictures of him, he is built like a cement block! I would rather try to tackle someone with a higher center of gravity than a short powerful guy like Woodhead. Barry Sanders was 5'8 and weighed about 203 when he was playing and I don't recall anyone calling him small.

As for Peter, he has a chance for the NFL, but probably not a good one. He will have to be in exactly the right circumstance to catch on with a team and I'm not sure the Seahawks are that circumstance. I agree that his talent's may be better suited to the CFL or Arena league.

However I do wish him well and hope he does make it.

Anyone? Anyone? Apparently you have never met my red-eyed friend JCU!

These are not dime a dozen numbers.

All of these numbers are better than Montee Ball’s combine numbers this year.

..and if you want to compare former Griz, they are better numbers than Lex Hilliard, who was a physical freak for this level.

..translation? They are meaningless.

I wouldn't say "meaningless". I would say they are good enough to get your foot in the door. There is a whole lot more than a few numbers that come into play to get you through the door, including some that sometimes have nothing to do with logic or reason or even talent. Luck sure plays a part -- especially when you are close to the edge.

Pro ball...how do you define professional? He had a token invitation to try to play pro ball.

And yet....Putter is still correct.

 

[AZGrizFan]

All I'm trying to say is Peter is no Danny Woodhead. And Putter, how do you know how much pro ball I played?

 

[Griz2k]

When I was playing pro ball, I could throw a football over a mountain.

Seriously. We'd have won state if coach had just put me in.... :twisted:

 

[goatcreekgriz]

Dave Kraig would be happy to see pete nguyen break at least one seahawks record.

He'll never get enough touches to break that record.

 

[hardycreek1]

Did Peter ever learn to hold on to the ball? Seems that's necessary at the next level.

In 2012, Moore had 4 fumbles in 6 games, and Nguyen had 3 fumbles in 11 games and was the returner. In 2011, Nguyen was credited with 2 fumbles. I believe 1 of those fumbles was actually Canada's, but got recorded incorrectly. In 2011, Nguyen lost 4 fumbles. In 2010, 1 fumble, I believe.

 

[hardycreek1]

Thanks for the stats, I believe in encouraging and suppotrting all our student athletes at all levels.

I just found myself praying that he didn't fumble whenever he went back for a punt return. Seems we shot ourselves in the foot a couple of games....
