Justin Pugh lobbying hard for Brandon Scherff

Eric from BBI : Admin : 4/23/2015 12:51 pm
FYI.
The Pugh Interview is unbelievable  
Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 4/23/2015 12:52 pm : link
Really smart team guy. Really open and funny. Well worth a view when posted.
for what position  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 4/23/2015 12:53 pm : link
?
Pugh basically doesn't care where he plays  
Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 4/23/2015 12:56 pm : link
He see Scherff as the same kind of player. He mentioned some of the old Giants (Diehl in particular) as guys who could and did play anywhere here along the line. He just wants to win.

Pugh raved about Syracuse OT Sean Hickey. Said he shut down Vic Beasley 2 yrs in a row, therefore should be Top 10 pick #Giants
He shut him down?  
nygiants16 : 4/23/2015 1:00 pm : link
Beasley had 5 tackles 4 for loss and 2 sacks

You can't stop Vic Beasley you can only hope to contain him
Unless he meant last year  
nygiants16 : 4/23/2015 1:01 pm : link
where he had 2 tackles 1 for loss and 1 sack
No syracuse

or BC players this year. Please
did Beasley's  
Eric from BBI : Admin : 4/23/2015 1:06 pm : link
plays come when Hickey was blocking him?

This is the same mistake PFF makes all the time.
Beasley's plays came when  
B in ALB : 4/23/2015 1:15 pm : link
Hickey would take a hard dig step INSIDE to block down on the DT. Since the Cuse line play from the Center to the RT was often poor and the scheme was to overload the play side Beasley was making plays from behind. He had a free rush on Hickeys side.

Another bbi IQ test. Football is a hell of a lot more about actual play on the field and situational stuff than cherry picking stats.
B in ALB, thank you  
ij_reilly : 4/23/2015 1:29 pm : link
I appreciate posts like yours because I learn more about the game. I've always loved football and learning more about the game is something I really enjoy.

I'm sure there are plenty of others on this board who appreciate the opportunity to expand their understanding of football.

Took a little digging, but you can see the match up on the linked video for Stephone Anthony. Just watch #3 vs. #60 instead of the highlighted player.

Hickey got hurt in the 1st quarter of that game too. Beasley faced their backup for a big stretch.
Then i stand corrected  
nygiants16 : 4/23/2015 1:44 pm : link
i should of done more digging into it...My mistake
I wouldn't hate Scherff.  
TC : 4/23/2015 2:18 pm : link
Though I think there are more talented players with a higher upside, and that he may have to play more guard, he would still instantly make the Giants' OL better than last year. Not surprised that Pugh would welcome any significant additions to the OL of talent and toughness. Any such addition will make all the other players on the OL more effective.
The OL is a team game  
spike : 4/23/2015 2:20 pm : link
it is as strong as its weakest member
Depends on how the draft falls.  
Ed A. : 4/23/2015 2:36 pm : link
If Cooper or Kevin White is there, It's a no brainer. IMHO.

flew out to Iowa and did a private workout with Scherff at Pro Day.

that said, we are spending so much time and resources developing Clemmings it would be surprising if we didn't take him! we would be developing him for someone else.
Hickey played his best  
RollBlue : 4/23/2015 3:55 pm : link
game of the year against Clemson, and was dinged for about a quarter as B in ALB stated. That said, I thought it was a bit of a disappointing senior campaign for him. Looks to me like he's got skills and toughness to be a decent lineman in the NFL - strong as hell and tough - injuries are a concern. Met him a few times at the 'Cuse fan fests and was impressed. I'll be pulling for him no matter who ends up drafting him. Would be great if the Giants could grab him in the fifth.
Of course he wants Scherff  
Rflairr : 4/23/2015 3:59 pm : link
He wants to stay at RT

Hes said several times he wants to stay at Right Tackle
haha what's he supposed to say?  
B in ALB : 4/23/2015 4:55 pm : link
"Yeah, despite the fact that I've never played Guard, I'd like to go ahead and give that a shot in my third professional season."

And who wouldn't want a top talent added to the line? Line play is not about the individual. Its about the guys next to you. Pugh knows this.

Saying that something you happen to know a little about is an IQ test is an IQ test.
I thought he sounded sincere about his willingness to play Guard.  
Klaatu : 4/23/2015 5:12 pm : link
Not that he was just going to roll over and give up the Right Tackle position, mind you, but he said the most important thing to him was winning, and putting the best five guys up front and establishing cohesion would help the Giants do that.
you're an IQ test Radar  
B in ALB : 4/23/2015 5:13 pm : link
One that 99.9% of bbi passes with ease.
Pugh is like Nuke Laloosh

Just glad to be here, hope to help the ballclub.
at least he's not like

Jimmy Googs on bbi.

"Hey everybody, I'm a fucking moron!"


??  
Jimmy Googs : 4/23/2015 9:36 pm : link
Uncalled for.
nah no it's not Jimmy  
B in ALB : 4/23/2015 9:39 pm : link
Give us your football knowledge and expertise. You're a pro. We all know you know the Xs and Os of the game. Keep the BD references out of it pal!
You can diss me but  
Jimmy Googs : 4/23/2015 10:30 pm : link
don't ever badmouth Bull Durham again.

Oh, and switch to decaf...
Googs!  
B in ALB : 4/23/2015 10:35 pm : link
I wouldn't think of bad mouthing BD. Pfffft. Please.

And I don't drink coffee. I get my energy from reading the expert insights on bbi.
Back on point...  
Jimmy Googs : 4/23/2015 11:16 pm : link
Giants recent investments in the O-line are still not enough. However, if Reese goes Scherff with the #9 pick, I think we would have gone a long way in just the past 2 years of addressing a huge problem on this roster.

I just don't see enough dynamic players at the top of this particular draft worth considering. Continued focus on line seems to be the smart play in an average draft year.
liked the Pugh interview.  
Del Shofner : 4/23/2015 11:55 pm : link
He seems like a good guy and very committed.
