was struggling on OL and moved him around so much:
We were struggling up front and they moved me to a position I hadnt played in two years, Pugh said. Im out there playing right tackle and then they were like, we need you to play left guard and then next week its back to right tackle. Thats not good for your body. You cant get used to it that fast and there was some anxiety because I hadnt played the position in two years, going to right tackle. I just put one on the back for the team, no pun intended, and it ended up not helping me too much. It would have been a totally different story this past year if I wasnt in that situation. |
Pugh: Im not injury prone - (

...peachy.
Giants are a bunch of savages.
Pugh is a an asshole. Glad is off this team.
Never been a fan of this guy's attitude. Will Hernandez is such a breath of fresh air.
Excuses are for losers...glad he is gone.
Pretty weak excuse for Pugh, IMO.
This.
I really can't believe we picked him in the top 20. Did any draft an analyst have him in the 1st round?

Pick 31 that year was Travis Fredrick..

Allrightythen.
Anyway, its crazy Reese didnt draft Long. The guy is an All-Pro and has proven to be more effectively versatile than Pugh can dream of being.
No investments made in the oline for years.
Then out of desperation we have to go oline with some high picks for a few years in a row, and we select 3 chuckleheads...
You aren't winning with guys like that.
Re-signing him would have been a bad choice that further hurt the franchise.
Another first round dud.
Pugh wasn't a bad player, but man he had a lot of baggage.
which wasnt often. cant invest in a part time player
It may have been the most me first locker room in Giants history.
Pugh has every right to voice his concerns about being moved around positions, it messes with the rhythm/chemistry you're trying to build and with all the struggles the line faced Pugh most likely played hurt all the time for the sake of the team.
The reason Pugh became injury prone is because he was asked to play injured all the time. He never healed and that has a long term effect.
show some fucking class or at least some intelligence.
Then look at Zack Martin who is in a different stratosphere as a player and hasn't missed a game. That's what you want from your Oline.
2 games missed with a quad injury
2015
2 games missed with a concussion
2016
5 games missed with a sprained mcl
2017
8 games missed with his excused back injury
When was he not injured? Sounds to me he spent more time in the training room than the practice field
Seubert came back from that terrible injury better than before and was a team player. Tough as nails and nasty as hell didn't whine just did his job
just seems like being the best football player possible was never his # 1 priority. hundreds if not thousands of fringe NFLers or prospects would love to be put in his position, to be able to prove their versatility. but he avoids that title like the plague. now i hope he never has the chance to extend his career as a backup at both G/T.
Yes. And started every game of his 1st 7 seasons.
The true attitude of a person is not judged by when things are going well. It's easy to give max effort when things are going your way. If you want to see a man's real attitude look to when things are going in the crapper. Does he rise up, put his head down and work through it? Or does he crumble and start with the excuses?
In the end, most people have bosses who make them do things that they would prefer not to do. Stay late, come in on weekends, etc. That's life. My message to Justin would be this....
Do you want to go home to your hot instagram model girlfriend (who surely loves Pugh for his great personality) and complain about the Giants? Go for it. Want to call your friends at that dumb shirt company you pimp out and bitch to them? Knock yourself out. WHY- oh WHY would you even think it would be a good idea to badmouth the Giants to the media. What good does that serve you?
Pugh was a big locker room politician. Good Riddance.
JPP was the same way. Little effort on a losing team.
If the Giants went 0-16 but the guys they had were flying around with max effort I'd deal with that, but you can't let these guys rule the roost.
It takes away incentive, especially for a more savvy guy like Pugh. At the end of the day, his pride is probably hurt when he's not playing, but he still knew $50M was waiting for him, regardless.
Good luck
Glad DG is bringing in adults.

Ditto on your 'versatility ' point; and he knew that. IDK for sure, but I Have to believe that JR made the youretheone phone call on draft day he would have mentioned we picked you because of your versatility.
About getting hurt: imagine! Getting hurt playing football. Whoda thunk it☺

Thank you @JustinPugh for saying this. I got injured twice in NYG playing LG when I shouldnt have. The final time I got hurt I was moved to LG after starting 10 straight at RG to help Flowers. All it did was get my ankle broken again because I couldnt feel anything behind me

Wonder if Giants fans will blast Pugh like they blasted me when Ive made these comments before.
Just shut the fuck up and be glad somebody like Jerry Reese was dumb enough and desperate enough to insanely overpay you.
I'm not going to completely throw out what these guys are saying. You could definitely argue that we didn't bring in guys with the right mentality, but it's not like we set them up for success either.

Reese and Mara sure instilled a throw somebody under the bus culture. Pathetic.
I'm surprised McAdoo never threw his hair stylist and tailor under the bus.
I dont think moving from one side to the other is what got Schwartz' ankle broken. I think it was more of poor preparation and becoming too fat a fuck to do anything athletic.
Reese and Mara sure instilled a throw somebody under the bus culture. Pathetic.

Are you sure it wasn't Coughlin? Pretty sure he was the coach for most of Schwartz's tenure here.
(just stirring the pot...)

I think Schwartz came on the same year that Mac became OC. He may not have played the first year Mac was HC

I played left guard, center, right guard, TE, and even Fullback a few plays, I was always the guy that would do anything for my team to win, team above self was the way I played, I broke my leg and blew my knee out and wouldnt change my thinking ever.

Schwartz loves blaming others for being a complete bust for the Giants. Bottom line was he got overpaid and didnt suit up and when he did he wasnt any good. He was soft just like Pugh. No coincidence they were both on losing teams.
Heres Seuberts response on twitter:

Looks like the staging of the place was nicely done. If you want to see how it looked when Pugh lived there, google the barstool report on his place. It was a pig sty.

Just watched it. Didnt look anything like what you say. He had a catered party going on and had some of his meathead frineds over there along with Weston Richburg, but the place looked fine.

It is a matter of interpretation. To my standards, it was filthy. I was in the military and have a lower tolerance for the lack of attention to detail. It looked fine to you. You obviously are more tolerant.
It was definitely time to move on.
Justin Pugh said he would like to see the Giants draft "the kid from Iowa."
By that he meant fellow offensive lineman Brandon Scherff.
"He seems like a tough kid," Pugh said this past week. "I've watched a few games on him and that is someone I would like to play with."
Now who's tough?
Lineman are supposed to be tough as well. This attitude shows why this line has been a pillow soft joke for so long. Also, he was one of the stronger Reese player contributions to the line. Wow, this team hit rock bottom. The Cardinals gave this guy 40 million? The fans should be getting the pitchforks out.
Oh, and just heard an interview with Will Hernandez where he said he didn't care where they played him, left side or right side...he just wanted to play. Funny, the tough guys are like that...they want to play, they don't give a damn about the details. I think we got a good one in Will.

Jesus Christ, there was a party going on and he even said people were crashing there.
You're a nut.

Rich Seubert is my favorite Giants offensive linemen of all time. He wasn't the biggest or most talented but he worked harder than anyone to get the most out of his abilities. His comeback from that gruesome ankle injury was incredible. Not only did he come back from it but he returned to the starting lineup and played very well.
I despise Justin Pugh. Always hated the pick, the player, and especially the person. That guy is a sham. A decent college OL who couldn't hack it in the NFL. Same with Richburg. These guys have to puff themselves up and spit out excuse after excuse because they suck and they only got worse and worse after college. THAT is why Pugh still chases college girls. Some people have to live in the past where their glory days ended.

Now who's tough?
Prob because if we did take Scherff, that would kick Pugh back out to RT which would position him for a more lucrative free agency.
Fuck Pugh and that entire OL group for that matter.

Considering we had a locker room with Shockey and Tiki in it that's saying something.
Rumor is that was the real reason why JPP's hand exploded.
