It may have been the most me first locker room in Giants history.

attitude is Pughpee.

at a charity event a few years ago. He was a very nice person. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Sounds like the team was just broken last season.

fucking fanbase on this site is a joke. You complain about the offensive line the players and the coaches on a daily basis but when the players make a complaint this is how you react?

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.

Guy is soft as tissue paper. Only played a full season his rookie year and clearly didn't want to play through injuries.

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.

2014

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

Reese's biggest downfall was his inability to do anything positive with the o-line. He mostly inherited the o-lines that won his two super bowls, got lucky that they were late-round and undrafted players, then whiffed on every one of his premium picks used on o-lineman. They guy was decent at some things, but evaluating OL was NOT one of them and it ended up costing him his job.

partying at penn state during the spring (at least 3 times) and down the jersey shore over the summer. such a loser, i cant comprehend why a first round NFL pick for the NY giants would want to go back and party at a lame frat 3-4 years removed from college. also ive seen him on social media hanging with a dude that goes by "slutwhisperer" and has had a few barstool stints.

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.

when the Cards have injuries and need him to shift to RT?

Stfu stubby arms.

Yes. And started every game of his 1st 7 seasons.

With Hart and Pugh, Flowers grunting in the corner, and Richburg pretending to be the leader...

The Giants culture, for whatever reason, whether you want to blame it on McAdoo or whatever, was filled with these type of guys.

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.

and the fact that good players know what they're worth and what they're likely to get paid.

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.

Don't understand the need to criticize the Giants.

.

Another Jerry Reese special. Seems as if Reese's main criteria since about 2014 or so was finding the most malcontent, sour and bitter people he could and sticking them all together in a locker room. And then topping it off by replacing the hall of fame coach with a guy who looks like he should be fixing your HVAC system. Gee, what could possibly go wrong?

2017, 2016, 2015, 2014 2013 etc..
Good luck

would you like to play? We want you to be happy."

they drafted the guy in round 1 for to his "versatility". If he wasn't fully made aware of where he was on the depth chart in case of other injuries, that's on the coaching staff. That being said, he has to know he's going to be the guy that gets moved around. It's on him to prepare.

babies.

Glad DG is bringing in adults.

It will be interesting to see how healthy Pugh stays, now that he is on another team. The Giants don't exactly have a stellar injury record the last several years (one of the worst in the league - FootballInsiders.com).

position coaches how he felt the constant position switches were effecting his play ? Many though he was our best OL man when he was healthy. They might have listened. But maybe not they were fighting for their jobs .

the strategy of moving him around all the time was ass backwards. Traditionally, you put your best guys in their position of strength and have the depth work their way into the swing and supporting roles.

He was drafted bc of his versatility. Always thought he was a giants type of guy but now I doubt it. This is weak

Reese gets all the blame, and no one ever looks at the shitty coaching, and not just in the Macadoo years.

It sounds like the things people say when trying to set themselves up to cash in a frivolous lawsuit.

I would not be too thrilled to read these whiny comments from a new signee.

aren't paying any attention to these comments. They are just happy to get *any* signing on the line. Plus, we only have a few more weeks until it gets way too hot to do anything.

One of the primary reasons the Giants drafted Pugh was his alleged versatility. Now Pugh is saying his versatility is why he can’t stay on the field? Anyway, it’s crazy Reese didn’t draft Long. The guy is an All-Pro and has proven to be more effectively versatile than Pugh can dream of being.

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☺

Youre a joke. Your posts suck and your name sucks.

Thank you @JustinPugh for saying this. I got injured twice in NYG playing LG when I shouldn’t 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 couldn’t feel anything behind me

Wonder if Giants fans will blast Pugh like they blasted me when I’ve made these comments before.

Was he playing out of position when he was hurt in every other season of his career?? He only started 16 games once in 6 years with 4 different teams.

Just shut the fuck up and be glad somebody like Jerry Reese was dumb enough and desperate enough to insanely overpay you.

shuffle the line way too much. It wasn't really the best strategy and it obviously built up resentment.

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.

by Connor Barwin on national television. Being injury prone didn't help either.

Are geared only to play one position on the OL? Moving from RG to LG takes that much of a toll on the body?

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.

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

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

Schwartz played RT, RG and LG in his career. Why was it all of a sudden a problem in New York?

if he wasn't always hurt before last year.

like this at home....

Schwartz loves blaming others for being a complete bust for the Giants. Bottom line was he got overpaid and didn’t suit up and when he did he wasn’t any good. He was soft just like Pugh. No coincidence they were both on losing teams.

Here’s Seuberts response on twitter:

“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 wouldn’t change my thinking ever. No excuses, just play”

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.
