Giants and OL Justin Pugh agree to terms

hoo!

Nitro shoots, he scores!

He needs to jump right in to earning his starting job.

it's crucial that he start his arm-lengthening exercises right away.

Del Shofner FTW!

Let's get this train on the tracks

He needs to be there from day 1.

Good. Now beat out Diehl.

for RT

makes me nauseous.

but he couldn't reach my palm

He should be thankful we drafted him. Freakin' Pre-Madonna.

His options?

He reached the pen! Or.. someone handed it to him!

The pen was in his pocket but he needed someone to get it for him.

Well I can understand the delay now. Hopefully he can overcome this severe disability and become a pro bowl player for us.

I don't think these short-arm jokes are ever going to get old.

I didn't used to believe so, but Girbride's comments have pursuaded me. After the draft Gilbride was clear that an introduction of youth in the OLine was very much needed. He has had some very favorable things to say about Pugh, and it was his remark about Pugh not necessarily taking Diehl's spot because Diehl could always move inside that had me coming around. It left the impression Pugh already has expectations to start at RT but that doesn't count Diehl out because there are still other options for him.

In his recent interview when he talks about wanting to have more plays/fomrations/concepts where they are sending more receivers without the need to chip, he knows well this is not something they can get away with with guys like Diehl in there. I think he is well aware of the limitations and realizes personnel changes are necessary for them to to do what they they would like. I don't think we're even talkign about these things if we are assuming Pugh is a down the road type deal.

very interested to see where he takes the bulk of his reps in camp and preseason.

I don't think Pugh starts. The only open spot, imo, is RT. Pugh was a LT in college. Switching from the left to right side of the OL or vice versa is extremely difficult. On top of that, they were using Pugh at multiple positions in camp. Instead of having him focus on just one position. I think in the long run it will be better for him to be that versatile but in the short term I think it is going to be a tough task to accomplish. I think Pugh at some point will start but I am not sure if it will be from day 1. That is a lot to ask of a young kid. I don't think most people know how difficult it is to switch from one side of the OL to the other, especially at OT.

What is the holdup with him? Slot dictates the deal. What is he trying to accomplish?

dictates the money/years. There is still a lot more that goes into a contract.

the contract closer to him?

LOL!!

??

when he didn't report to camp on time and he turned down a great contract in terms of money and years. Then when the details came out it furthered my opinion that AJ Smith was a serious douchebag.

so he had to take off his pants to reach it...

hahahahahahahaha

lol'pacalypse

Will get old if he doesn't play well. Diehl will hol him off. He just has to extend his arms. There got it in just in case.

disappointing if Pugh is not starting on the OL right away. First round pick taken higher than he was valued, should translate into 1st year starter, or it becomes questionable !

Just a hunch. Pugh takes over at RT after the bye (which occurs week 9), and then starts at home against the Raiders the next week.

He's going to need the work.

yours is better. Hear Hear.

If DD has to start one single game, when not filling in for an injured player, we are in trouble on the right side. DD stunk last season and I'm sure he didn't get any better or younger this offseason.

the picks a few spots below him and after him. Picks 14 through 21 (besides Pugh at 19) all got guaranteed money. Check out the two articles below on the subject:

Pugh, Giants could end up in a fight over guaranteed money - Posted by Mike Florio on July 15, 2013, 5:24 PM EDT

was hilarious.

Hearing Justin Pugh's cap number this year is $1.517 million which, if true, drops the Giants cap space to about $2.1 million.

Short arms won't matter one way or the other. He may also see some work at center, though I think LG will be his position.

This shows why his short arms may be a problem.
