NGT: Justin Pugh says he was injured in 2017 b/c NYG

FranknWeezer : 5/18/2018 8:53 am
was struggling on OL and moved him around so much:

Quote:
“We were struggling up front and they moved me to a position I hadn’t played in two years,” Pugh said. “I’m out there playing right tackle and then they were like, ‘we need you to play left guard’ and then next week it’s back to right tackle. That’s not good for your body. You can’t get used to it that fast and there was some anxiety because I hadn’t 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 wasn’t in that situation.”

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.
So glad this guy isn't on our team  
Chris L. : 5/18/2018 6:29 pm : link
anymore! Yeah...moving him around at different positions had a lot to do with his inability no matter what position he was at to move anybody off the ball. The Cardinals will soon realize the era of their ways in giving this guy big money.

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.
Only problem with his logic is

he's been injured in pretty much every single season (if not every single season) of his career on the Giants..

It was definitely time to move on.

Remember this from Pugh prior to the 2015 season

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?
Didn't  
rocco8112 : 5/18/2018 6:45 pm : link
this guy used to tout his versatility on the line as something positive he brought as a player? Maybe my memory is off, but is a pro football player. As a teammate and a professional it is his job to play anywhere on the line the team tells him to.

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.
Rich Seubert was one of the toughest guys I ever saw

I remember him limping down "Autograph Alley" during one of the Albany camps...it was just after his leg injury. He wore shorts, you could still see the long scar down his leg, not quite closed up. A lot of people near me were ready to chuck up, seeing that. He never complained, he wanted to be with his team mates, and was great with the crowd.

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.
C'mon guys...

Everybody remembers when Parcells moved Jumbo Elliot from RT to LT and he just crumbled, right? His body couldn't take the stress and he developed anxiety so he couldn't sleep or even eat, right? Then he told everyone and it got back to the coaches so then they let him go to the Jets to finish his injury riddled career, right?

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.
AND Schwartz!! LOL  
GeorgeAdams33 : 5/18/2018 7:29 pm : link
What a lazy bastard he was once he got some money. How about you were too out of shape and unprepared for a move to LG that should've been no problem. Your problem was getting beat off the snap and not having the athleticism to recover. You planted your left foot sideways in the dirt and the RDT pushing his weight and yours, almost 700 pounds, all onto your left ankle. It gave way. These things happen. You barely rehabbed and happily settled so that you could walk away from the game, sit on your worthless ass, and bad mouth all of the Giants coaches and players that were at and somehow wronged you in that pea brained head of yours. STFU already. Pathetic how Geoff Schwartz has to chime in. "Yeah, YEAH, ME TOO!! LOL

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.



Pugh was soft, all talk and never healthy good riddance, highly overrated by some giant fans like u

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.
The main reason I was so happy  
GeorgeAdams33 : 5/18/2018 9:42 pm : link
...that we got rid of Reese is the fact that he would've signed Richburg & Pugh to new deals. I wanted Reese gone since he convinced ownership to fire Fewell, Gilbride, and then Coughlin while trying to cover for his own ineptitude, but I knew that on the field the result of keeping Reese would be that the culture on the team would never change. Nowhere was the culture more of a problem than on the O-line. Pugh was the biggest asshole of the group.

Considering we had a locker room with Shockey and Tiki in it that's saying something.
