Monson PFF: TOP 25 NFL OFFENSIVE LINEMEN THIS SEASON
"10. Justin Pugh, LG, New York Giants (87.8)
Justin Pugh wasn’t a bad player at offensive tackle, but he has proven to be an excellent guard for the Giants. Pugh has allowed only nine total QB pressures and no sacks in the eight games he has played this season, and his run blocking has arguably been the stronger part of his game. The Giants have missed him in recent weeks, and been unable to get anything near the same level of play out of multiple different fill-ins at the same spot."
