Chad Forbes re: Justin Pugh

That was a fun time.

with that expression. Maybe it means just hanging out shooting the breeze?

And that rings true. Pugh does like the limelight.

Another team can give him a shot but we really can't. Too much negative history.

and not playing his heart out on the field. He's more than a little Schwartz-esque imo.

his short arms are better suited for chugging beers.

every time I opened my Instagram app, his goofy as was there hawking some men’s lifestyle brand called FiveFour

Sometimes where you are drafted effects your career. Also, injuries can destroy the best laid plans. Pugh had both happen to him.

Yes I believe had he been drafted by a different team he might be entering fa under much different terms.

was rotten with player development on this team even back when he was drafted,

People forget how solid he was as a rookie. It seemed like an excellent pick and the position was solved long-term.

...lol

Whatever reputation he has of being 'decent' is because he plays on horrid OL. Reminds me of Sixteen Candles - Pugh is Anthony Michael Hall - 'king of the dipshits'. Let him go.

I think injuries derailed his promise. Even after coming back it seemed like he lost a step from the knee issues and he lost functional strength with the back and elbow injuries. Shit happens that may not be lack of coaching related.

shut the hell up. If you don’t want to resign him, fine, but no need to trash him on the way out.

Especially for employees that are too scared to put a name behind their comments. This team has been a wreck for half a decade. Nobody should be throwing around terms like 'not Giants tough' when this franchise has failed on so many levels, from front office to on-field. Everyone needs to wear that and shut up.

I'd prefer that whoever said this didn't say it - this is the type of stuff that was getting out before the regime change that really should be kept in-house.

That said - I think it's accurate and that there's truth to it.

Pugh doesn't strike me as a guy who has the same "want to" that some others have and I think it's fair to question whether he's worth the type of contract he's going to get.

I think he's 100% a goner.

in history. So glad we are moving on from him.

take less showers and start a few fights during games.

And showing up to play every Sunday would be helpful...

Good luck with your next team.

and obvious just based on the way the giants are approaching him given the desperate need.

Thought he would be bigger, lol

...god he’s such a douche.

was such a huge reach pick by Jerry Reach

Working through some injuries now, but 3X Pro Bowler and 2-
time 2nd team All-Pro. Safe to say Reese botched that pick

But I think Coughlin is to be blamed for the Syracuse/BC guys.

Either way, definitely a major desperation reach pick, many of us said it at the time.

I just hope he doesn't carry a flask!
I bet he will have a 'designated blocker' so he can
continue to enjoy the barstool and get $12 million
per year.

questioning someone's heart, especially if I don't know them. That said, Pugh does seem to like the sound of his own voice.

The O-line was a damn disaster last year.

You had Hart and maybe Flowers who's attitude was detrimental to the unit.

Where was Pugh in all this? If you're gonna shell out a nice contract to someone, they need to be a leader in the locker room

But I do think it says alot that the JAGS went after Norwell and not Pugh.

I don't think Pugh is a good player at all. That he can't stay on the field just compounds it.

Agree with you guys. I’m fine moving on from Pugh...no need to trash him to prove the Giants are right.

especially the OL.

Seems like he was mentored by Geoff Schwartz :-)

Plays little, talks a ton.

Agree more with that assessment.
